THE FUTUR
About this episode

In part two of our three-part passion versus profit conversation, Chris, Rodrigo, Mo and Niddy pick up where they left off: to succeed you need a clear goal and to remain focused on it.

The benefits of living this way are clear. It’s how Chris built his design agency and ultimately The Futur.

But at what cost? To quote Chris, “I worked like an animal.”

That lifestyle isn’t for everyone, but to Chris’s point, you have the freedom to design your own life. Whether you achieve that goal depends on how committed you are to it.

It’s tough to stay the course and resist new and shiny distraction, but it pays to play the long game.
