If I asked you to come up with three things you would want someone to know about you before you had a single conversation with them, what would they be?
If you are an author, they could be: knowledgeable, eccentric, and kind
If you are a realtor, they could be: approachable, professional, and determined
If you are an educator, they could be: fun, engaging, and quirky
Now, in what ways does your personal style currently reflect the qualities that came up for you?
Your personal style and the way you present yourself serve as the initial touchpoint with potential clients, partners, and collaborators. This means that when it comes to creating a brand that stands out in today’s saturated market, it’s important to take a look at your style, just like you would any other asset.
My friend, Rich Cardona, is the brave volunteer for a fashion intervention and case study for what is possible. Rich, any time you ready for that shopping date, let me know.

Absolutely fabulous masterclass in finding your personal style!
I'm a personal stylist, and these are all the steps I take my clients through to help them discover their unique personal style. From determining the 3 things you want to communicate through your appearance, to finding style icons and putting together mood boards on Pinterest - THIS is how you find your style!
I always tell people they can actually do it on their own, it's just easier and faster with a personal stylist.
And so many great tips! The tips about repeating the "pop of color" 3 times, as well as purchasing items from the same manufacturer for the sake of color matching, and using functional accessories to show your style...
Chef's kiss of a masterclass! 👏👏👏
I don't know if anyone has ever heard of the Brownie experiment?
Brian Wansink at Cornell University tested to see if he could change the taste and perceived value of the Brownie by changing the way it was presented.
The first Brownie was on a napkin, the second on a paper plate, and the third on fine china.
Each Brownie came from exactly the same batch and was dusted with icing sugar to boot. The results were pretty incredible:
Napkin - 53c
Paper plate 76c
Fine china $1.27
That's more than double the value for the same brownie on a napkin.
This also goes for wine too, but the difference wasn't the wine itself. The participants were told the exact same wine came from different countries. The results? France was rated the highest quality and Mexico the lowest quality.
So design does play a huge role in dhaping our reality, but really the secret ingredient in changing how we taste or value something is as you rightly say, CONTEXT!
Our brain is built to take shortcuts and it fills in the gaps and alters our reality to make the world make sense and keep us "safe". It's crazy really!
Good examples. I’ll include the next time I speak about this.
How much does the taste influence the overall rating? Rather than the packaging/ presentation itself.
....... Chriiiiiis, and all the teaaaam... You seem determined to make people empowered, aren't you !? ... My God.... I'm so happy for everything I learn from all the free content that I feel angry having been in the darkness for SO LONG.... GOD !!! ..... No words could describe how much we owe you these so precious mindsets and knowledges...
A tear, a sigh and a shy smile with a 'thankyousomuch' whispered...
You’re very welcome ☺️
I love the way you explain everything. It really seems to click. Well written and well said.
Thank you 🙏
tbh people also have biases. Color wise or understanding wise. I find it interesting that no matter how much we put efforts as designers, clients will come up with their own set of expectations.
Takes special creativity to stand out as an engineer :)
This one was really fun! Thank you so much, Chris. 💙
You're so welcome!
Thank You so much Chris!! You Did Your Do on this on and It hit home for me as a 20-year retired combat veteran. I was a Tactical Airborne Element AND I was one of the 1st Fitness Instructors for Navy SEAL support.
I will be implementing some of your style guidance for my high end personal fitness brand
Share your progress with me on IG. @thechrisDo
Super excited to watch this tonight 🤩
This literally made me think of how cool if there was a luxury gas station. The Chanel experience for fuel stations.
Another epic video with the Futur stamp all over it. Great pacing; easy to catch your drift.
👍5🌟
Glad to hear
My company is just starting off. We make 10k annually and are struggling. We really enjoy brand lab and would love to be included. However, just as a bank we must meet THEIR criteria to even enter the door.
We know you mean well but you really bring meaning to the term " get rich and switch". This only for the rich club people.
The funny thing is ... most to all of creative ideas come from people who struggle. The pain motivates them into thinking different to accomplish their goal.
THANK YOU!
Thank you for the great content you provide
You're amazing bro! I love how you just tell it exactly how it is.
I only know one way.
Chris, this was a very cool trip. It speaks to what the awe-some Ru Paul says : 'We are all born naked, and all the rest is drag.'
Don't you love it?
Thanks, Chris!
Thank you guys! It is much helpful for me as I recently decided to focus on my personal brand. I am at the point of thinking out what voice and look it should have at this moment. After 6 years of working in ad agencies I want to focus on sports and gaming design as they were the reasons I learn design after high school.
Your speeches and arguments sounds right for me but as a very shy person I always struggle when I need to apply them in real life scenes. I need to work on it and I can't wait for new episode, thank you for you time!
you got one life to live. take your shot.
Will you create a playlist so we can know which videos you release relate to Personal Branding..?
Oh. Good suggestion. Yes.

Wonderful Titlel!
that gucci x adidas, you are 100% getting beaten up in the wrong streets
I’ll avoid those streets.
Chris, I'm eternally grateful that you made this. Thank you man. I was meant to see this. In fact...I am also a former miltiary helicopter pilot and my style has been "monochromatic" as you mentioned about your friend. Now I know exactly what to do. This is what i've been searching for! Thank you man.
You’re very welcome Adam. More to come on this topic.
Gosh. Needed this. Thank you for sharing this special ssaaaauuuuccceeeee
You are so welcome
Very understandable for a layman. Thank you Chris.
This is very amazing. How you make us understand about the power of branding with the examples😅
Thanks
I Love The Way you explain a new form of category to known that must be researched and look after (I'm literally like- Do Spend Money on Chris😂❤)_Great Content Chris!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Love love love this episode. Too bad you don't have a girl's version, but this was helpfull too ❤
I will someday when I understand women’s fashion better.
Shifu Do giving us the sauce again ❤ Thank you for the lessons Sensei🙏
My pleasure!
@@thefutur Wow! Your reply to my comment just made my day haha! I've been following you for years and I have to give you credit for most of my knowledge in dealing with the design world. You have my deepest gratitude and I'll make it up to you one day Sensei 🙏 I look forward to your next video on personal branding, I've personally been struggling with coming up with my own visual identity and I'm sure it'll be packed with gems as usual! God bless you 🙏
Thanks
I am a whole brain thinker!
big up to the person who made that thumbnail 👌
that person thanks you.
Maybe is because I always wear black with almost no logos or graphics but often times when I'm at a restaurant, market, store, etc, people confuse me with people that work at those places and come asking for help. ^_^ My boss told me that I just look like a helpful person but I think is the full on black. My dad just tells me that I look like I'm going to a funeral.
Time to invest in some accessories, à la Chris Do?
Chris! Goodness the value to oozes out of you is legendary. Thank you x100000. I want my style to be country/rustic chic. Got any suggestions for that look?
put together a mood board. it's a good place to start.
@@thefuturSounds good
How i wish i could participate
If some of you are looking at this +1 hour video, here are some summary titles so you know what this is about:
How to dress yourself, advanced
Dress for success, but how
Make your clothes do something useful
How a CEO should be dressed to advertise their company
Great video. One detail tho, marines don't fly apaches, they fly Vipers and or Venoms ;)
Thank you. Clearly I’ve not served.
I agree with you, however there is something to say about functionality and doing these things with moderation. You don't have to dress all creative if you don't like that. And for the example of the camera. You are not wrong. But to walk around all day with a camera that is much heavier only because it looks better doesn't feel worth it to me.
Sir your content is extraordinary and amazing sir please give scholarship to learn .I am to kuch passionate for the graphic design and still I have no money to hire you as my instructor.but one day inshallah I will return alternate of this please help me in this regard.please special attention toward me please it will be your help a student who cannot afford you please sir.
You don't have so expensive gas though.
Sweden have Evian prices :) 33,9% more expensive gas95 in Sweden (7,19 / gallon)
( Diesel 8,84 / gallon)
But bottled water is silly priced, yes.
71% is more then 2/3 :P

Im sorry but 69 and that other bloke imitating McGregor aint original. Way to shallow stand… or not if you go for “masses” i guess aka playing for volume.
This unsolicited “fashion” makeover was cringy AF. I’m one of the biggest followers of Chris but this whole style thing had me grinding my teeth
Not for you then. But Rich and I will be shopping.
@@thefutur haha happy to tag along for the second opinion 😏
@CharlezMalasana This whole video is about elevating your branding with style so this "fashion makeover" is part of it. You can't tell me that you don't think a certain way when you meet someone in a suit vs someone in a military outfit. The way you dress can convey alot about you. If it's too cringy for you, that means that you're not mature enough to understand the reality of human nature and how people operate at a deeper level.
