Start by showing up consistently, put in the time and focus, tidy up at the end, and prepare to do it again the next day. Repeat. Observe. Reflect. Repeat.
Reminds me of the parable from the book, Art and Fear, recently quoted by Alex Hormozi where half a class of ceramics students were asked to make 100 pots and the other half were asked to make 1 perfect pot. Quantity leads to quality, and the ones who made more during the year produced better work by the end. Trying to apply this lesson to my own work as well.
Storytelling is EVERYTHING. I’m working on the packaging, but ideas fall from the sky if you’re paying attention. Human connection and empathy is the key.
Oh man. "You might be trying to render the world in 24 colors." I saw worlds of possibilities open up in my mind when you said that. Worth the whole video & more for that moment. Thanks Chris for giving me another reason to go out and experience & learn more. (51:14 is the timestamp for full context.)
Your big takeaway is to be "Remembered as a good father.".... WOW, Chris, you are the best! Thank you for such an amazing interview! Forever thankful! All the important stuff is not lost on you. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sad you won't be @AdobeMax this year! Ugh! Hope to see you in 2025!
Thanks again Chris. You're starting at 42 is almost exactly me I'm 43. I saw you when you started out but I kept trying to make stuff perfect. Seeing Chris in person was a full circle moment for me and a slap in the face to Just Do.

Firstly Felix was such a great interviewer. He came out swinging as Chris said and maintained that level of curiosity and wisdom within his questions throughout. Chris, ever the insightful and consummate teacher provided the lesson I needed to hear. Today I learned that my instincts on how I guide and raise my own two kids are right. Thank you Chris for sharing so much about your inner workings. Felix I hope to interview half as good as you 🫶🏾
Thanks Chris, your thinking and awakening to new perspectives and continual growth always resonates with me. Keep up the great work 🙏 I will say there is a very sinister side to AI that is being overlooked and I have not heard anyone talking about. This one thing can totally flip the power on creatives and businesses if they do not understand this and the trap they could fall into. Ai is a great and powerful tool. It’s important to know how to use AI as a tool correctly. Clearly all the prompt engineers I have heard teaching are using promoting tactics that will leave companies and business exposed. Mostly because they are just regurgitating what they were told and lack true understanding. Again you are doing such good things for our community ❤ Shawn Kanin
I’m studying my self taught design journey mostly using The Futur courses and have found my niche but will need help identifying my speciality and tuning my strategy to execute. If you read this Chris I really hope you still offer your consulting hour by 2025 because it is part of my plan and I’m taking this opportunity if offered.
I have a confession to make: I never liked Chris. Maybe I was biased, misjudged him, or just decided I just didn´t like him. I always thought he was pretentious, petulant and looking at people over his shoulder. It´s turns out he´s super smart, humble and a wonderful human. Definitely, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Chris lemme know if I reverse engineered this right: You got on a podcast because you speak well. You speak well because you teach in work shops. You teach in workshops because you had the balls to say you’re good (plus clients under your belt). You said you’re good because you committed to delivering a service - and did. Alright. So to me, what I see as important for the new generation: teaching.
For urgent speed McQuickies hands down, but for tasty deliciousness our Grandma’s burgers were worth the wait. Delayed gratification vs leveraging urgency might be a debate worth having. Much gratitude for your thought provoking videos. Cheers..
Hi! I just listened to the new short version podcast on Spotify. I think it's a great idea, almost like a snack size of information via podcast. As time gets thinner everyday, it's appreciated that we can grasp important insight, information, and experiences on this new format. Although I really enjoy the conversational podcast of 1 hour as well. Cheers and thank you for all you do.
I love this perspective on originality 42:00! When it comes to mastering a skill, people always talk about practice and repetition but they never talk about imitation because people associate it with plagiarism (just don’t take credit for someone else’s work). I’ve learned that its hard to be original (and good) without mastering the fundamentals, and it’s hard to master the fundamentals if you don’t imitate and make the motion of creating something good a part of your muscle memory. Once you have the fundamentals, you can then express your unique personality and experiences through those fundamentals. I’m just yapping now 😂 but love your design playlists btw!
i am a Facebook advertisement and when i go to Facebook pages to work with them they feel like scam and i want to make pitch with them to make him work with me but they refuse and they go far away that mean they want proposals what is solution's of this case
Trust me, your not going to lose anything by trying psychedelics. its going to take everything you know, and everything you don't know, and mesh it all into sense. You will make more sense of the things you do know. You will come out of it with more experience about yourself and the things you do. Its nothing like alcohol. Nothing like weed, or any other kind of drug. You can't compare it to anything except maybe of birth and death. Everything you think you know about it is limited by the language we try to express it in. Its like trying to show a 3D object in a 2D format. You can't do it. For an example, you've probably seen Fractal Art. Its always changing, and its highly detailed. But what if I told you I've never seen visuals like how any illustration has shown before. What I have experienced is Fractal Knowledge. Simultaneously witnessing many different subject content at the same time, always changing and highly detailed in the way of just knowing what is. But the only way to illustrate that in a visual medium is with the classic Fractal Arts that you have seen. A simile. Its not for everyone. You have to do it right. Set and Setting. Don't disrespect it or you will not have a good time. Do it right and it will change your living experience and the way you see the world around you.
I wonder if Felix ever watched any of the movies Chris mentioned. He seemed like he was only in listening mode because he didn’t get those references. But if he was, I’m too in listening mode because with these two, how can you not be?
I get the introvert bit...maybe it's that more...condensed or internal sense of self that gives you the vibe of empathy and relatability Chris. You're a 'big' person but it doesn't feel like you're high up and I'm blinded looking up into the sun. I think it's your understanding of the reality of what you teach that gives you your urgency....even when you're chill. Just fyi that's no kool-aid talking, this shit's real and can be transformative, no dime paid.
When you take your design to lead designer - they are the ones who always say - Make something original, unique. and even clients. People dont understand relationship between originality, functionality and time constraints, budget that you have. Dont work with cheap clients and insecure lead designers - My advice
I think he is talking about something bigger than that, is like a mindset you need to have to don't be paralyzed from those words. Being original in my opinion is a sort block and Chris is teaching how to avoid that block. You can apply that principle to everything.
@@emilpelari5710 You are right. And I understand what he is talking about - Nothing is original. Even something original is derived from somewhere else. But I bet he being creative director would also behave same - when you present him functional workable designs. His words would be - " design something new, unique etc etc. This is not original " Talking in a podcast is different and working on field is different.
They again started talking about Originality 🙄🙄!! People, you can create anything from scratch and end up coming up with something great, and it will be your original work. Don't listen to what others saying, about one cannot be original in their work. It might not look good depending how want it to look like, some get it at first attempt, some don't, does not mean it cannot be made even better.
Wow. The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give it away. Incredible.
This is what I need to work on, producing consistently good work, instead of trying to make the one perfect thing.
Start by showing up consistently, put in the time and focus, tidy up at the end, and prepare to do it again the next day. Repeat. Observe. Reflect. Repeat.

I ENJOYED EVERY BIT OF THIS CONVERSATION. HOW CRIS GOES BACK TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ON STORY TELLING.
Profound words. Well said, my friend.
I’m studying my self taught design journey mostly using The Futur courses and have found my niche but will need help identifying my speciality and tuning my strategy to execute. If you read this Chris I really hope you still offer your consulting hour by 2025 because it is part of my plan and I’m taking this opportunity if offered.
I want to live my life longer, not shorter or faster.
Bam😊
Chris you are a gem. BIG LOVE from Nigeria.
Thank you Nigeria
DROPPING BOMBS!!!
This is gold!!! All of it!!!
If you are willing to take that leap of faith to try, you an experience acceleration, you may not need 40 years, just 5 can take you places
Every human is unique. Like a snowflake. Whatever we create in our life is original by nature of our uniqueness.
Maybe similar, but still unique.
Chris4Prez, baby!
Fire, as always.
The bookend was ‘chefs kiss’
I’m going to have to journal on that purpose and meaning of life.
Thanks Chris
This was moving! I needed to hear this.
I have a confession to make: I never liked Chris. Maybe I was biased, misjudged him, or just decided I just didn´t like him. I always thought he was pretentious, petulant and looking at people over his shoulder.
It´s turns out he´s super smart, humble and a wonderful human. Definitely, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Chris lemme know if I reverse engineered this right:
You got on a podcast because you speak well.
You speak well because you teach in work shops.
You teach in workshops because you had the balls to say you’re good (plus clients under your belt).
You said you’re good because you committed to delivering a service - and did.
Alright.
So to me, what I see as important for the new generation: teaching.
I teach because that’s how I learn. It’s not for everyone.
It is inspiring to know you were 42. I've been teaching and speaking as a professor and I've felt like maybe I waited too long.
You can do it!
@@thefutur Thank you so much! I appreciate the encouragement!!
This was absolutely beautiful...I didn't want it to end
