First thing in the morning, I’m working on designs, listening to Chris talk, and feeling so appreciative. Thank you for taking us designers beyond “design”, pushing our boundaries, and inspiring us.

[annelihansson]

This is my favorite interview on this channel. I would love to see the two of you have a podcast together.👌🌟🙏

[GoreTuzkPT]

I felt like a Challenger for the first 45min until Chris asked his personal question and I was not only impressed by the answer but actually learned something I considered useful, which tuned me into my Teacher mode (as in, motivated to learn so I can share the knowledge).

[creatorcapitol]

underrated podcast - should have more views!

[annilagan]

I have been waiting ages for you two to have a discussion. I’ve always seen that you have a similar approach in different spheres! This conversation did not disappoint and I hope you do more! 🎉

[ThisDesignLife]

Been following Erwin for ages, saw him live as well. He's such a great communicator and preacher.

[ekwuemejustin]

This is so wholesome! I can feel all frequencies here

[RockstarCinema]

This amazing content reading between the lines is a skill
That can really bridge the gaps to build better relationships with all ppl 😊

[danielsaldivar]

So Good! We need another episode with Erwin! Would love to see Chris on Mind shift Podcast

[danjmaurer]

These are my top two topics and speakers coming together!

[iamkevinkouassi]

6:35 I would argue that most people actually are, but learned to forget with schooling.

A dog, for instance, needs not to know what you say to understand what you mean (tone, energy, body language, etc.) when mad.

Or even that you need not know what is said to know what two foreign people are saying to identify that they’re arguing.

[ArtistsJourney]

This was enlightening! Love this shift in perspective of communicating in frequencies. I feel like creativity and connecting with imagination is already a frequency but learning to harness all the various archetypes seems powerful. Thanks for this Chris!

Interesting talk, as a filmmaker I do have some questions: Erwin mentioned that he found that all these TV-Characters act from the Shadow Frequencies and that this is a problem for our Communities since we adapt from TV. So I was wondering, would a Story even be interesting when everyone was acting from love? Surely there is a reason why in these successful TV-series, the characters act from the shadow side. I personally feel like audiences don't want to feel like everything is flowers, they want to feel like crying, since they rarely feel these emotions themselves or really like to feel these negative emotions.

What are your thoughts on this? Would love to hear insights from anyone in the community!
Hug Wito✌

finally you made a video with Erwin! 🤩🤩🤩

41:44 "how much do you want to grow" this needs to be highlighted and shouted from rooftops (or maybe because this is my struggle i feel that strongly) currently a graphic designer at a company and working on rebranding them. Im challenged by their feedback and sometimes what they want isnt a good idea at least in the full blown manner they are requesting, and i struggle to find a way to educate and persuade and also "yessir" attitude. I think asking them "how much do you want to grow/elevate?" And respond with " i can be nice and get you the brass tax of things as you need them as you ask them. Or i can use my expertise and knowledge and elevate your brand" (implying that if they want the higher goal, less niceness and more feedback on my part will be given) and if they want it just simple then at least i know the expectation, if they want more then the expectation that i will challenge things more to achieve the higher goal is now laid out

[SteveCoughran]

Communication is a crucial aspect to success and networking. Great insights!

[rimbodesigns]

I really experienced when I did more than 1000 sales fundraising for a charity. Focusing on the frequency. The energy you communicate with makes such a difference.

[Ccruz]

Gifted to do good. Thanks for the insight.

[cayplusconnects]

Definitely a not-one-to-miss episode on the Futur; watched it from beginning to end.

Tremendously enjoyed this conversations filled with gems and hearty laughs. Big thumbs up, Chris and guest Erwin—thank you!

[shawnee_kanin]

Wonderful content as always.

Chris you do so many wonderful and correct things with your content.

If you were not aware before I’m sure you are now, the limitations of the sure SM series microphone used this way.

It would be my honour to help you dial in a better sounding face to face system that meets all your needs if you like. (One of my many
backgrounds is being an audio engineer. )

It’s the least I can return for you providing such value to everyone.

Peace and love to all your team and their families.
🙏❤️
