Do Less, Achieve More with Chris Do | Ep 14

LFG Energy Podcast

I sit down with Chris, a first-generation immigrant and Emmy award-winning creative, to explore the intersection of identity, entrepreneurship, and personal growth. Chris shares his journey from fleeing civil war to building a successful career in America, while navigating cultural expectations and inherited trauma. We dive into how his early experiences shaped his resilient mindset and discuss the current challenges facing the education industry in the age of AI. The conversation takes an intimate turn as Chris opens up about balancing his drive for constant improvement with family relationships and personal development.
