Episode notes

In this episode, Chris Do challenges the belief that content performance should be measured by likes, views, or algorithmic wins. He explains why treating social media as a scorecard disconnects creators from their true intentions and ties self-worth to external validation. Drawing from over a decade of experience building a multimillion-dollar brand, Chris shares how creating from honesty and self-expression leads to clarity, confidence, and deeper connection. Rather than chasing metrics, he argues that content should serve as a tool for self-understanding and meaningful communication.
