Season of Savings Lookbook
Letter from Chris Do Hey everyone,

As you know, the one overarching mission of my life and business

has been a big one—helping 1 billion people do what they love for a
living. At The Futur™, that mission is our North Star and the reason
why we do what we do.

I thought I’d take a moment to share what we’ve done over the past
year and look forward to what we have planned for 2024.

To start, this year has been a whirlwind. It was the launch of the
Futur™ Euro Tour, which included a 9-city stop, starting in London,
traveling through Warsaw, Amsterdam, Berlin, Bucharest, Porto,
Barcelona, Stockholm and concluding in Dubai. If we met during
one of the stops, thank you for being part of such a wonderful
experience. I hope I provided you with some useful tools and
disrupted some old thinking patterns. It was hard to leave each
city, but I knew it wasn’t a goodbye but a “see you next time.”

This was also the year I went deep into personal branding. Many
believe we live in the attention economy— that attention is the
new oil. The new billionaires will be those who can capture,
distribute, and leverage attention at scale. By recognizing this
shift, I was able to explore my unhealthy obsession with pop
culture, cinema, storytelling, comics, branding, and marketing
in various talks, workshops, and presentations. All of which
culminated in my presentation at Adobe MAX to a room of 600+
people and thousands more online. MAX is the largest gathering
of creative professionals. With over 9,000 attendees, I’ve never
felt more at home—among my fellow misfits and non-conformists.

Speaking live and in person at MAX was a personal highlight for

me. The reviews and feedback I got were very affirming. So, I set
my intention to speak on the main stage for next year. Who knows?
It just might happen.

One of the key themes I’ve been exploring this year is leaning into
your vulnerability as a source of strength. We heal and ultimately
reclaim our power when we openly talk about our greatest fears.

10 The Futur™ 2023 thefutur.com/season-of-savings 11

Season of Savings Lookbook
 To make meaningful connections, we must risk vulnerability
(*Brené Brown*). We need to have the courage to show up as
ourselves, which is a strange concept because it is the most
natural thing to do—be yourself. Yet so many of us have been
conditioned to think, act, and behave a certain way in public to
be accepted and get along. We hide behind our public “persona”
so long that we forget who we really are.
I’ve been encouraging everyone willing to listen, to peel back
the layers to rediscover and align themselves with their deepest
passions and be brave enough to expose their “shadow selves.”
If we want others to trust us, we must be willing to trust them.
Relationships travel at the speed of vulnerability.
Looking back on my life, I’ve had many identities: refugee, designer,
entrepreneur, educator, brand strategist, and unintentional
influencer. When I ran my design agency, Blind, I was able to make
a good living but felt unfulfilled. When I taught at ArtCenter and
Otis College of Design, I was aligned with my purpose but couldn’t
do it long-term for financial reasons. It wasn’t until I found the
overlap between all the things that make me, me, that I found my
bliss. Little did I know in 2014 that creating YouTube videos would
lead me down this path of deep fulfillment and alignment. Now, I
can’t imagine doing anything else.
Otto (my oldest son) transferred to Columbia University as a
sophomore this year. He’s been a self-repressed creative his whole
life. Outside academics, he paints, draws, plays piano, and makes
things. When I encourage him to pursue his passion, he often
dismisses creative endeavors as trivial pursuits. He prefers to do
something more “serious.” So, it’s been interesting to see him
explore his creative side (weekly VLOGs from Columbia). With each
video, I see him finding his voice. It’s funny to see how the mission
even touches my own front door.
Mattias is finishing his final year at Los Angeles County High School
for the Arts and is coming into his own as a designer, illustrator,
and, believe it or not, entrepreneur?! The kid is a hustler and has
12 The Futur™ 2023

made more money as a freelance creative by 16 than I had
throughout college. He’s building websites (thank you, Webflow),
doing commissioned pieces, and collaborating with other artists.
He’s typically locked away in his room, “too busy with client
deadlines” to have dinner with Mom and Dad.
Serendipity, synergy and synchronicity.
This year, we launched v 1.0 of DoBot™ with the help of my former
student, Sho Rust. It had been years since he was a student of
mine. He was in town and wanted to connect for lunch. It was one
of the most inspiring and eye-opening conversations I had in a
long time. Sho is a brilliant early pioneer of AI. He’s essentially
responsible for kicking my butt into gear with this technology shift
and the main reason why I started using Midjourney. So when he
mentioned building an AI chat engine trained specifically on my
content, my style of asking questions, and my tone of voice, I was
all in. A few months later, DoBot™ was born and has been an early
success. As hard as it is to believe, having “someone” listen to you
with infinite patience and guide you through a challenge can be a
deeply emotional experience.
Innovation is inherently messy and wasteful. Innovation is the
opposite of efficiency. As Jeff Bezos said, “Innovation and failure
are inseparable twins.” It’s been a wild year of new initiatives:
The Futur™ Euro Tour, Accelerator Group, DoBot™, Brand Lab™,
Brand Identity Design, Rock Your Portfolio Course, and Brand
Strategy for Designers Workshop. Not everything was a runaway
success, but we are smarter and more determined than ever.
Thank you for being here. It means a lot to me and the rest of the
team. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. The Futur™ needs
you. We fight the good fight together.
