#30 Redesigning Rock Bottom - The Futur: Chris Do (Part 1)

This is part 1 of the story of Chris Do, founder and CEO of The Futur. It may seem presumptive of Chris to name himself CEO of your future. But for so many, Chris may have at least some claim to the title. The Futur is an online education platform, dedicated to the mission of teaching one billion people how to be successful in a career they love. All too often, we segment professionals into those that utilize the right brain or use left brain. Artists and business people mix like oil and water, right? Well, that’s not the case for Chris. Chris sits at the nexus of the right and left brain. He employs his creativity, but also his ability to lead and organize. His ability to embody both sides of his brain shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. He has spent his whole life at the schism between ideologies, struggling to find a place where he fit in. He suffocated under the weight of the identities that forced upon him. His family fled war torn Vietnam to America and at school, he was the Vietnamese emigre who would never quite fit in. At home, he was a failure; he didn’t adhere to one of three professions deemed suitable by the immigrant model of success: a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. He would never quite fit in. But through years of inner turmoil, he learned to be comfortable forging his own path. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/finding-founders/support
