Summary

In this episode, Chris Do and Drigo Tasca challenges creatives to confront the stories that keep them small and the habits that limit long-term growth. Drawing from personal experience as an immigrant, educator, and entrepreneur, Chris explores how identity, environment, and mindset shape success more than tactics ever will. The discussion highlights the importance of vision, self-awareness, and surrounding yourself with people who expand your sense of what’s possible. Throughout the episode, Chris emphasizes that growth often requires discomfort, sacrifice, and a willingness to let go of outdated versions of yourself.

0:00.0	So today we have a special episode that I've been wanting to record with Chris for a long time now.
0:05.9	I've always been behind a camera with you.
0:08.3	I don't think we've gotten a lot of chances that I'm actually just sitting down without you just yelling at me about like a whiteboard thing.
0:14.3	I can change that for this one.
0:15.9	Maybe.
0:17.2	You helped me a lot in the past three months of me moving to LA and me had a huge impact
0:23.8	in my life in the past three or four years as well. And there's been a lot of little
0:28.0	micro lessons within that that I've got to experience with you one-on-one that I want to be
0:33.9	able to share with the audience because I think would benefit them. So I guess to just
0:40.7	jump right into it, you work and help a lot of different entrepreneurs, a lot of friends in our
0:48.6	group. And I think there's been a constant thing that we always talk about. What do you think is
0:53.4	holding most creatives
0:54.6	right now from getting to where they want to be in life that's a big question i don't you want to do
1:00.5	the fluff first or no no no meaning it's two the containers to wide open because you're talking
1:06.0	about most entrepreneurs some early on some mid stage some late in life their answers are going to be very different Why don't you box it in a little bit? I'm not trying to approach it that way. How about the people that you see in a day-to-day life, or even me? Like, what was the big thing that you think was holding me back from? Okay, I can answer that question really easily. What is holding you back? Like, what's the thing that you see all the time? Okay. With you.
1:28.3	Okay.
1:29.2	It starts with you being an immigrant to this country and having fairly low definitions
1:35.1	of what success looks like.
1:37.0	Also, probably not being around the kinds of people you need to be around.
1:40.3	So you are doing better than most of your friends.
1:42.7	You are probably challenging them.
1:44.1	You're pushing them. So you're at the tip of the spear. And that's always a sign that you're in the wrong circles of people. And I think that's one of those things. So I've talked to you about this many times before. I think you're very good about being grateful for the things you have. It's one of the your best traits to me.
