What I like about thefutur is not always talk about design, I don’t know what to say, I think I always comment ‘thank you’ in every video I watch. Thank you !
This content is absolutely evergreen. That's the one thing about this channel that I really love and hope to emulate in my own way. Already started with the exercise of telling people why i'm grateful for them and I'll end with you. I spent the thanksgiving break hundreds of miles away from any friends or family and the only thing I have to look forward to is one day starting a business like yours. Most of the time I was on break was spent digesting yours and other designers' content and I found my work quality improve almost overnight. I learned much more here than I have in over a year in the graphic design program at my school. (I've explained my school before, lol) I'm a very late bloomer, some health issues regarding my back held me down for a few years but I am choosing to power through the pain and be an adult. I am 27 next month and haven't even finished an Associate degree. As I've seen, degrees and conventional school seem to be unimportant because school isn't built to give people drive to do better, only to pass. It's only those who crave to be better that can ever manage to break from that. But I am stuck down in NC until I get that "fancy" foil stamped piece of paper for my dad. Were it not for this channel, I would never have considered anything more than my current state. Which is that I'm approached very rarely to do a $300 logo job for friends of friends. So thank you to Chris and to everyone who plays a role in making these videos happen. Hoping for the best.
I always love to help others see their highest potential. By giving them an opportunity to excel, they will create amazing results. Motivate others to pursue their endeavors and give them a hand to reach their goals without any limitations.
Today I had a good day in the office, but somehow I just felt bad about myself, and I literally was thinking about me disappointing people, not being enough, and thinking why I just can't be as good as I'd want. I opened this video and right from the beginning I knew it was going to be helpful. After Chris finished talking, I wrote down what I was grateful for about today, one lesson I've learned and send a message to the people who I was grateful for. Just wanted to say thanks guys. You are the best. 💯
I think this is a great episode for Teenagers and Highschool Students, how to BUILD a life and a career. On rely to EFFORT more than on Talent. Thanks Chris
Love what Aaron pointed out, about celebrating progress. Taking what Chris said about reframing and mindset, even in failures, we can celebrate the experience as “what’s the lesson here?”. Thank you guys for this episode.
Premium content, deserves a lot of thumbs up! This touches my struggles moving to another country and getting depressed then having to rebuild myself and my dreams. Somehow I made it but I never really gave credits to little achievements I've made. I was focused and determined because I was afraid of going down the path of depression. I'm happy to have made progress but somehow sometimes I still feel like things get so much easier that I don't see challenge anymore and it makes me quite lazy. I found out that fear is one of the great motivations for me.
Watched the video and read all the comments and it made me feel I'm not alone with my mental-health situation. I'm 18 and "emotional rollercoaster" is totally about me. finding out that Chris was struggling with it too when he was my age is encouraging thing.
Definitely my best futur video so far; maybe cos it is perfect for the phase I am in career-wise. Chris' talk about owning your success just nailed it. Needed that advice today. Thank you The Futur!
The points about focusing on what you've gained/learned have been a huge blind spot for most of my career. Hearing it from you guys as well as providing an applicable practice has been confidence-inspiring. Thanks!
I just felt that some people kinda get way too much in their head and start thinking they're best in the world but in reality they have no substance, that's why I asked that question. But I get what Chris was trying to say and I've started looking at things positively all the time. - Arun
Scientist X Designs I can relate Arun. I thought I was better than I was coming out of school and had to give myself a reality check after my first job dried up. It's been an uphill battle the last year as I discovered how hard I actually have to work to get where I am going. I felt entitled. Thanks for speaking up during the show.
I finished all episodes of Young Guns Season 1 and 2 a month ago, but the content of this short clips is too damn good and valuable. Thank you Chris, TheFutur prod team and Young guns participants
I really love this. I had this moment in college and i realized i need to keep advancing forward. We all have a click point of hey i can do this. Stay optimistic and look at the positive and we are our own worst critics. But we can keep growing and keep LEARNING!
Goddamn. I don't always have the time to watch you guys, but every time I do, it's like the video is talking directly to me. Recently I've been struggling with focus and just energy levels while working and then this crosses my path. Thanks for the video, you guys have a different way of thinking that shifts my perspective to places I didn't really consider before :)
I can completely relate to this story of hitting absolute rock bottom and deciding on what I wanted to do in life. Your stories are very uplifting and encouraging to hear! Thank you for the great content
this is the first video i have ever seen and i honestly related to everything you said you made me rethink my whole life lol but thank you becuase you helped me switch a flip in my head in order to start working harder in everything in order to achieve my goals
14:00 on the question of how to change the voices in your head from negative to positive, one of the most powerful tools I’ve used is to listen to meditation/affirmations while I sleep. It’s crazy how much it has re-wired my thought patterns, and the extent to which that has directly resulted in positive behavioral changes. My favorites are on a channel called Live the Life You Love. She has two different versions of affirmations on each topic - everything from social anxiety to procrastination to simply loving yourself. If you feel stuck in a holding pattern or like you’re not crushing life, I really encourage you to give them a shot for a week or so. They have completely changed my life in a matter of just a few months. (Obviously, I’ve been using the videos in conjunction with lots of other work on myself, including learning a ton from Chris.) (Oh, and Marissa Peer’s videos on this topic are also quite profound.)
Hey guys! First of all THANK YOU for producing such amazing content that is so helpful for us to grow as designers. I make sure to watch atleast one or two videos everyday even though I am an industrial designer , the stuff you make is sort of universally useful. This video does help a lot and it is excatly what I needed to know at this point of time. I have been having a hard time retaining focus on my work. It's like I always start a new project with full enthusiasm but then somewhere along the mid way analysing what will work and what won't, I loose all that spirit and almost always feel like giving up. I really want to overcome this problem that I have. I will start celebrating small successes and keep trying. I love these videos so much I make sure my friends struggling with the same thing watch them too Once again, thank you!
Just got home and was about to watch some videos instead of being productive. I guess that ain't happening now. Thanks for being so open about everything and sharing it with us!
I've had these negative thought too. And this video explained how to overcome them in a simpler way. I've read an article about the mammoth (negative thoughts) in our brains that we need to suppress.
Thanks Chris and the full Futur team! It's awesome to learn from you and get addicted to your quality content! Love how you emphasize the mindset as I've been reading Think and grow rich from Napoleon Hill!
I would suggest reading about Clare Graves Spiral Dynamics. It explanes how because we have a constant need to make sense of our surroundings, we start to seek more or less when we have achieved understanding the world we see right now. I agree with it 100%. When I got to a place where I could do things "in my sleep" I started to get the urge to go further. It's a natural feeling for a healthy person who develope. Thats how we evolve as a species. The key to continue for me has always to get going on the next thing while finishing up with the earlier one, it keeps the ball rolling.
Thank you for such an amazing video, it was very relatable to some of the challenges I'm going through and I can't wait to apply this in my life. Keep doing a wonderful job

I don't usually comment anything on RUclips, but this video deserves it. Great discussion and great advices. I felt identified a lot. Thank you!
thank you for that video - again you helped me: Gratitude as "mental-cleaner" what an easy but genious idea - of course I thought about knoiwing what i have already achived...but doing a list - that is perfect!
I'm in exactly that "fighting the wolf" position, but i'm constantly afraid if it isnt 'dying inside', not beeing that emotionally involved anymore... i mean even if it makes me feel that bad
One more similarity I have with Chris :D. I was 16 when I decided that dam.. I don't want to spend more time in school than I need to. Why wast time and do something for longer than I could. I thought that "no way do I want to stay as I am right now, I want to do more. It was a click in my mind. I took a goal and went after it for next 18 years. Anyone can do it. Just search for a deep enough reason.
9:59 I watched that video, and I am going to watch the next one dude. However, find your own identity! You have personality, and you can be inspired by Casey, but lets see you dude!
Hi I'm all from Barbados and I love your videos bro. I have one question for you How do you keep your mind focus on doing one thing as a career. I'm all over the place right now jumping from idea to idea.
I live outside the united states but i want to work with clients from united states or any country that value design because i live in a country that doesnt value design and pay very low for it . can i just work with clients from outside without meeting them ?? just email and chat or skype . is that possible ?
Excellent video, but I have a digressive nitpick that I have comment on. Marc's t-shirt. Nice design. One problem. '12? Are you sure that's the correct punctuation? It should be an apostrophe but it's a single opening quote mark. This is going to drive me nuts now.
So what do you say, to someone to who finally realized that all they've done in life is romanticizing success but never actually tried. I'm 26 and I still don't have a fucking clue on what to do with my life. I make 50k in retail cell phone sales, but after doing this for the past 3 years. I realize, that I was chasing money to finally pay the bills. Now that I have "some" money, I gave up chasing that "dream". But what is even sadder is that I was actually never chasing anything at all..
Maybe this is your cave and your opportunity to "slay the wolf". What have you done since then? How is everything going since this deep discovery? Have you practiced what you found out in this video?
What I like about thefutur is not always talk about design, I don’t know what to say, I think I always comment ‘thank you’ in every video I watch.
Thank you !
Thanks for watching and commenting.
To me Design is the bonus. The reason I keep coming here are personal development and Bussines advice.
I never get tired of hearing these guys speak.
Thank goodness. ;)
Yes, just keep it coming.

"Build a mindset of gratitude". Thanks Chris Do. I needed that.
I always love to help others see their highest potential. By giving them an opportunity to excel, they will create amazing results. Motivate others to pursue their endeavors and give them a hand to reach their goals without any limitations.

Guys, your videos are perfect drug for my mental health.
Glad to hear.
Same. I am fighting my anxiety now and it is very difficult. I am happy to know that if you guys overcame yours, I can overcome mine too. Thank you
Fighting my anxiety too.We'll get it!
I think this is a great episode for Teenagers and Highschool Students, how to BUILD a life and a career. On rely to EFFORT more than on Talent. Thanks Chris
Love what Aaron pointed out, about celebrating progress. Taking what Chris said about reframing and mindset, even in failures, we can celebrate the experience as “what’s the lesson here?”. Thank you guys for this episode.
I feel like celebrating can be a trap. While important, if you dwell in celebration too long it can stop your momentum. Great video Chris!
I'm 51 and your videos really inspire me to not give up. Thanks!
Your videos are almost universal at this point. As a mechanical engineer (with love for design) these are so helpful.
Thank you.
Premium content, deserves a lot of thumbs up!

I found out that fear is one of the great motivations for me.
Have been going through some rough times rn but honestly these videos even after 2 years are still motivating me. Thanks, Chris!
Glad I could help
Watched the video and read all the comments and it made me feel I'm not alone with my mental-health situation. I'm 18 and "emotional rollercoaster" is totally about me. finding out that Chris was struggling with it too when he was my age is encouraging thing.
You can fight for the person you want to become.
Love the process of overcoming your weaknesses.
Definitely my best futur video so far; maybe cos it is perfect for the phase I am in career-wise.
Chris' talk about owning your success just nailed it. Needed that advice today.
Thank you The Futur!
The points about focusing on what you've gained/learned have been a huge blind spot for most of my career. Hearing it from you guys as well as providing an applicable practice has been confidence-inspiring. Thanks!
At this point I am totally addicted. There is so much value and inspiration in every video. Thanks!
I just felt that some people kinda get way too much in their head and start thinking they're best in the world but in reality they have no substance, that's why I asked that question. But I get what Chris was trying to say and I've started looking at things positively all the time.

You’re very welcome.

Mind blown! Chris, at 6:30 you destroyed it! "they werent fully committed into learning", I'm just now figuring out this same thing now. Thank you!
You are telling me all the things I needed to hear. Thank you!

Love THE PROCESS of what anything we do ♥️♥️🥂🚀
First... and go for long term.
Wow, I've got the impression of being twenty all over again. I think I've got a whole pack of wolves to tend to. Thanks a lot for this great video.

Pure gold, as always. Thank you!
Be grateful - wise words

"It's not happy people that are grateful, it's grateful people that are happy"
I'm in exactly that "fighting the wolf" position, but i'm constantly afraid if it isnt 'dying inside', not beeing that emotionally involved anymore... i mean even if it makes me feel that bad
Celebrate the success. So true. Great video! Aaron dropping 💣💣💣’s
really good man, just 30k views, but people who watched it might have found gold.
Appreciate it
Thank you for sharing this. I love these topic. And I feel good I wrote it down too 😉
One more similarity I have with Chris :D. I was 16 when I decided that dam.. I don't want to spend more time in school than I need to. Why wast time and do something for longer than I could.

You’re very welcome.
Wow this is so good!
This made my day
woah Connor!! I love his works
9:59 I watched that video, and I am going to watch the next one dude. However, find your own identity! You have personality, and you can be inspired by Casey, but lets see you dude!
Thank You
thank you
Your high school life is exactly what I'm living rn (especially for expectations haha)
Hi I'm all from Barbados and I love your videos bro. I have one question for you
How do you keep your mind focus on doing one thing as a career. I'm all over the place right now jumping from idea to idea.
I'm not gonna lie, what got me to focus was me breaking up with my partner , I would do freelance there and there but most of my focus was else were .
Hi I want to be a part/guest of your show/episode.....how to apply ?
Aaron with the two watches FTW! Hahaha
You got new student, its me! Btw, Great video!
I go with LONG TERM.
Someone please share the Aaron video link...i want to watch it.
Decompressing hahahah. What a good way to express the time after work:D keep it up guys!
I live outside the united states but i want to work with clients from united states or any country that value design because i live in a country that doesnt value design and pay very low for it . can i just work with clients from outside without meeting them ?? just email and chat or skype . is that possible ?
Excellent video,
but I have a digressive nitpick that I have comment on.
Marc's t-shirt. Nice design.
One problem.
'12? Are you sure that's the correct punctuation?
It should be an apostrophe but it's a single opening quote mark.
This is going to drive me nuts now.
Gary Vee and Chris in one episode !!!! Is it possible ?
Could be.
What do you think of sites like rookieup? They just released their portfolio starter kit for 49$ (aka mini design boot camp) Is it worth it?
You guys are fucking awesome. Thank you for existing.
Persistence doesn't recognize failure
hahah Aaron is the best :D
short term for now
So what do you say, to someone to who finally realized that all they've done in life is romanticizing success but never actually tried.

Lol i know this guy haha
Me too
He is in IG right? 😉
