In this episode, I sat down with the incredible Chris Do—creative genius, brand builder, and all-around deep thinker—where we dove into what personal branding really means today (especially with AI in the mix).
Chris shares how his own personal brand journey started, how he found inspiration in the bold and brilliant Aaron Draplin, and what it really takes to build a brand that’s rooted in you. We talked about how authenticity isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s non-negotiable. It’s not just about what you post. It’s about who you are and how willing you are to show that.
We also jammed on:
✨ Why asking better questions is a superpower in the 21st century
✨ How to develop taste and why it’s the secret sauce to creative confidence
✨ The tension between speed and intention in a noisy digital world
✨ How AI can support your brand—but why it’ll never replace your soul
✨ What it really means to trust yourself and let people see the real you
Chris dropped so many mic-drop moments in this chat. If you're building your personal brand, navigating the overwhelm of content, or wondering how to stand out in a world full of noise and algorithms—this one’s a must-listen.
What you'll walk away with:
💡 A fresh perspective on how to build a personal brand that actually feels like you
💡 Clarity on why trust, taste, and self-acceptance matter more than ever
💡 Practical mindset shifts to navigate branding in the age of AI (without losing your magic)
This episode is your permission slip to slow down, get intentional, and build a brand that’s built to last—because you are the magic behind the message.
