Chris Do turned his passion for teaching into a thriving business when he launched The Futur in 2016. Now, he’s on a mission to teach 1 billion people how to make money from their passion, and he’s sharing his advice with our listeners in this interview.

Before starting The Futur, Chris ran a production company called Blind for 12 years. He drew on the business skills he learned in that venture when he founded The Futur, drawing on his experience in design, sales, marketing, and video production to make and sell courses that would help people follow in his footsteps.

Even with this experience under his belt, starting a new company wasn’t easy. Chris shares the biggest challenges he faced while building The Futur and how he overcame those difficulties to make the business what it is today. We’ll also find out how he grew to more than 2 million subscribers on The Futur’s YouTube channel, as well as his other advice on how to use social media and other digital marketing to drive business growth.
