Hello future podcast listeners, Greg Gunn here.

Today we are sharing a clip from another podcast.

It's called Finding Founders, and it's all about highlighting the entrepreneurial spirits

here in Los Angeles.

The clip you're about to hear features Chris Doe sharing his origin story and his path from refugee to business owner. I think you're really going to like it. Enjoy.

I think we all need Enjoy. do that we were told never to do or think about and at this point I'm like 15 years out of school I'd been teaching for 10 years at that point and I continue to

This is finding founders, a podcast showcasing the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit of Los Angeles and our journey to find the founders responsible

I'm Samuel Donner and today we're talking to Chris Doe, founder and CEO of the future.

It may seem a touch presumptive of Chris to name himself CEO of your future.

But for so many, Chris may have at least some claim to that title.

The Future is an online education platform dedicated to the mission of teaching 1 billion people

how to be successful in a career they love. Chris sits at the nexus of the right and left brain. He employs his creativity

but also his ability to lead and organize. His ability to embody both sides of his

brain shouldn't come as much of a surprise. He has spent his whole life at the schism between ideologies,

struggling to find a place where he fit in.

roots in Vietnam. So at the beginning all I knew was America because I came here when I was three years old and I knew that we came from another place. I could

didn't belong. I just didn't know that story.
