The Futur with Chris Do

Chris Do and Jule Kim explore the hidden costs of holding back and the profound impact of saying exactly what you think. Many professionals struggle to speak up due to cultural conditioning, fear of judgment, or social anxiety. By unpacking real-world scenarios—from navigating social discomfort at industry events to confidently stating a $45,000 project price—Chris demonstrates how direct, precise communication empowers operators. Listeners will learn how to shift focus away from internal discomfort and articulate their value without relying on unprompted proof.

Many creative professionals detest sales because they focus on selling services rather than tangible business value. Chris Do unpacks the five biggest lessons from Kevin Daly's book, Socratic Selling, offering a framework for those who hate manipulative sales tactics. By learning to dollarize value, ask open-ended questions, and practice full-value listening, creatives can shift the dynamic from pitching to problem-solving. This permission-based approach empowers buyers to articulate their own needs and allows practitioners to close deals using hypothetical agreements.
