  • Practical. Human.

    Pricing conversations are so often shrouded in tactical manoeuvres and robotics scripts. Hearing Chris unpack them sounded more like a human conversation with a colleague you both like and respect. Such a goodie!

  • Unlikeable host

    Annoying to invite people on a show and then manage to only talk about yourself. Would be a good idea to become a better listener. Was looking to hearing about a subject of how to live your life courageously to end up listening about Chris talking 80% of the time. Taking tangents to ending up far from the initial subject. I listened to the episode to get a certain content and I did not get what was promised in the title

  • Great to be on the show with my fav flying squirrel!

    Such a fun podcast to guest on (and listen to!) Chris is one of *THE* top introvert experts in building a brand out there and it was a delight to be chatting on a show with him about introversion, getting out there and why I think he’s definitely a flying squirrel! Will continue to tune in and learn more!

  • Clear, challenging, calm, charismatic - what a total C!

    I had been watching Chris’ posts and videos, wanted to get to his branding workshop in London but just missed out on the dates. I then briefly chatted to him at Atomicon in Newcastle when he was a last minute replacement. Such a nice guy. The way he questions is playful but probing. It’s brilliant.

  • Chris Do Parenting tips

    As a fellow branding designer and 1st-generation immigrant with two kids of my own, I found Chris Do’s parenting episode incredibly powerful. His honesty and reflection on fatherhood hit home and got me thinking deeply about my own non-negotiables as a parent. It’s rare to find someone who blends creative leadership with personal vulnerability so well. Thanks Chris for sharing your wisdom.
