Hey Chris, I just want to say thank you! Because of you I started a PoD business back in 2019 and made over 1.5 million dollars in revenue over the next 1 1/2 years. Earlier this year I sold this business and since them I am working on a clothing brad, just like you. You are the reason why I found my real passion in life: entrepreneurship. You have been an inspiration for me ever since.
@@kenpe1455 Just do it. Dont hesitate, you will learn all the things you need on the way! I never thought that a simple task like buying a shopify theme in October of 2019 could change my life that much. Also read MjDemarcos books on entrepreneurship ✌️
Chris, wishing you all the best man, glad to hear you've turned a corner. I was one of the early watchers/subscribers of your channel and can uniquely understand that mounting pressure you're talking about with regard to TH-cam expectations. No rush dude, we're here ready when you are. Keep up the great work.
So happy to see you on your channel again and praying for you to have strength through this recovery. Thank you for sharing this story and I hope it helps someone else going through this by watching you.🙏🙏
Wow. This was incredible. That took a turn that I wasn't expecting but I'm so thankful that you shared, Chris. Sending you so much support. One day at a time.
Frankie is a goldmine, wow! And seems so damn humble. I love it! Thanks for posting this vid, and have a great rest of your week! Edit: Thank you for all of your vulnerability and transparency in the second half of the video. Damn. So glad for your new direction/path and ability to get happy again, ESPECIALLY for you, but also for your friends, your family, and your fans.
I would say put the idea of a clothing brand behind and focusing on inspiring people through film making. That is your true gift. I am moved by this. I relate to a lot of your struggles. I could imagine a documentary on the struggles of entrepreneurship and building business would be incredible. video creation is in your blood.
I agree, the product ideas are flooded with too much emotion, businesses shouldn’t be built on emotion, just objective decision making. But content creation on the other hand benefits from it.
Yep. Totally agreed. I don't know about the other stuff, as I have been made skeptic (at least in these matters) through life, but one thing is proven in what is now years of non frequent videos, but very good ones in production quality: He definitely can make captivating and very well edited videos. He is certainly good at it. From there... Maybe focusing on that creative part will leave more time for it... In the other side... one of the best things a creative person can do (but is one of the options!) is to tell about your own stories/experiences. So, be it about a brand, living in a van, traveling around the world, showing people in real time how you sculpt with clay, or going to the mountains...people like to hear stories from other humans (one of the reasons why AI's (artificial intelligence) success will always be just partial). So, whatever he is focusing on at each moment, he will (or might) tell it in his style, and we'll enjoy it. :)
Damn man thank you for sharing your story, your one of the most genuine e-commerce creators on this platform and you're videos have encouraged me to take more of a "story-telling" approach to e-commerce instead of all the same repetitive bs you see around e-commerce. Big move sharing the dark times of your past, can't have been easy sharing that, so thank you! All the best moving forward and can't wait to see the next episode!
This video wasn't what I was expecting in so many great ways. I really appreciate you getting real with us about your struggles and the inspiration for Fourth Dimension. Looking forward to following your journey as I build my clothing brand as well.
Chris your introspective look around the 17min mark is so honest, raw and inspiring. Thank you for sharing and always appreciate your curious and well documented approach to these ventures. Appreciate what you are doing!
I'm proud of you for sharing something personal and putting it out into the world. I see nothing but strength in you and view you more positively because you showed your true self. Nothing but good thoughts your way. Also, there is no pressure. I say this with love, but my life will continue just the same if you don't make videos. You make fantastic high quality content that takes a lot of mental acuity, but it only works if you remain inspired and do it on your timeline. If you like creating and feel like you need higher output, start a podcast or other outlets to grow your reach, but continue to keep this main channel for nothing but the best content. Very excited to have you back doing wonderful things, whenever you feel you have something to share.
When I saw one of your first videos in 2019 (the custom socks store one) I was an alcoholic drinking between 15-20 beers a day 4-5 times a week. I had a small dropshipping company and at that time I was making a living playing online poker but my health and productivity were going to the ground. I lost my partner, plenty of relationships, became homeless, and really hit rock bottom. When I first saw you, I saw a young inspired, disciplined person who seemed to have no problems let alone an addiction problem. In a way, I thought you had it all together and it made me want to be like you. I don't know if you'll see this but this video has helped me enormously to eliminate the alcoholism in my life and my productivity has increased in an unimaginable way. I really appreciate your videos and the effort you put into making them. I wish you great continuity and I can't wait to see your next video, Chris!
Been following your content for a while now and this is your best piece of content yet... The honesty about the last 2 years was much appreciated and I feel your struggle.
Banger video. One thing I have to point out. It's actually the 5th Dimension is what he wanted. I think he got confused with the Fourth Dimension, as 4th Dimension is just time...Lolz great vid anyway! Maybe I'll have to borrow his concepts and make it with the correct name ;)
I felt this. My latest sale at Sotheby's was titled "Intuition" (like your t-shirt design) May I suggest a short story by Leo Tolstoy - The Emperor's Three Questions. Seems to be aligned with where you're at.
Wow! thanks for being vulnerable. My channel is a similar size, lets grow and create together, you are my fav youtuber right now. Story telling is immaculate.
Dude love everything about this video! Your documentary style storytelling is so seamless. Sorry to hear about your speed bumps but it’s all part of the journey! Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Chris, thank you so much for this level of sincerity! It should have been really difficult to share a personal struggle to a wide audience. I hope that you feel better now! Your videos are always very insightful to watch and incredibly inspiring, no matter how often you publish them🧡
I can totally relate about being self destructive. I started my ecom in 2017, and in 2019 it was going great. But then it started to slow down a little and I started questioning everything I did. I kept making changes that kept making things worse. Then I would beat myself up over it. Rinse and repeat. It's now to the point where I am thinking of just shutting it down all together as I am out of options on how to get it back to where it once was.
Chris your videos are always so captivating! I get so excited when you post a new value filled video, also very inspiring, maybe I’m going to go down the rabbit hole once again also 😜! Thanks for the video.
Maddness and depression are also traits of ingenuity and intelligence...The desiure to go beyond this 3Dimnesional comfortzone are typically traits of Geniuses. We are always looking for a breakthrough; being comfort is not enough.
Chris, i almost never write comments on youtube, but i just have to say something your twist hit real unexpected tbh and thus i just wanted to thank you about your videos. your story altogether inspires me and your videos are the reason i started my own print on demand brand two years ago. you are one of the reasons i became who i am today. so thank you alot for everything and ill gladly watch your videos and take notes in the future. one can see that theyre your passion and comming from heart. greetings from germany :)
WOW great video Chris, thank you for being so open. Just some feedback, I think your brother's design would look better and suite being on a tote bag more than a hoodie. Mostly because that community enjoy those type of designs on their bags then their hoodies. Especially with some curvy inspiration text.
Here's my comment to help you with engagement and get your channel back on track. Feeling inspired to start a clothing brand, already have an amazing niche and name thought of!
i hope you see this: I love the aunthenticity in your vidoes. you may not realise it but your ment to document things and tell stories in a creative way. it seems you love video making of certain processes in your life. i dont think its about brand building or what not i think its about creating and your unique path of creatioin seems to be expressed effectively and passionately through videos/movies.
maybe document people that are starting brands or creating things help tell their story. i for one would be love to be aprt of it if you will. if you decide to do this
Love the hustle, the transparency and triumphant return! Curious what the substance was you were struggling with? By chance Adderall? I have friends that have required intense focus in both finance and other verticals and got hooked to that stuff, curious if that’s your tale as well..
Searching for meanings / ideas. It's all bullshit. Frankie was right - you have to find the target audience. Not create prints and then think about who to sell them to. It takes strong marketing and a story to sell a product that doesn't stand out from the crowd. (aka domrebel - good idea and Ordinary design, but very strong marketing)
You crushed it, thanks for having me be a part of this great video Chris!
Goat
It was a very inspiring story, happy for you, Frankie 🙌

Chris doesn't post often,
But when he does.. you know it's a banger 🙌
Facts

True, he is one of the best or the best person in Ecom that I follow. its always gems

What was he addicted to
The kid can tell a story. Tell a story and capture your audience. Well done. Love the honesty and transparency.

NO FEAR was a huge brand. HUGE. You're on a hero's journey, Chris! This is the resurrection part!

Awesome Video as Always Chris, It was a pleasure!
hello, I was curious to know what was your brand
Been following your content for a while now and this is your best piece of content yet... The honesty about the last 2 years was much appreciated and I feel your struggle.
The interview was so good. Thank you. The whole video's a banger!

Keep moving forward Chris, you’ll be alright! We’re all rooting for you.
I felt this. My latest sale at Sotheby's was titled "Intuition" (like your t-shirt design) May I suggest a short story by Leo Tolstoy - The Emperor's Three Questions. Seems to be aligned with where you're at.
the most UNDER RATED creator out there. i am blown away by the information, quality, and depth of this.
I like how Chris breakdown his research, I love his teaching very satisfying.
Wow! Keep pushing and happy to hear about your progress
Wow! thanks for being vulnerable. My channel is a similar size, lets grow and create together, you are my fav youtuber right now. Story telling is immaculate.
Wow! You put your heart out there! Thanks again for this video and sharing your knowledge. Stay well and wish you health and happiness 🙏🏻
The best ecom vids on youtube, stoked to see a new upload!
He's back!
Inspiring stuff. Your videos on entrepreneurship lit an idea inside my brain a while ago. You learn about yourself a lot when trying to start a brand.
Dude love everything about this video! Your documentary style storytelling is so seamless. Sorry to hear about your speed bumps but it’s all part of the journey! Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Great video man
just thanks.
thanks for coming back
The strength it must have taken for you to tell your story is inspiring.
A really good example of a brand that’s killing it atm with this style of Ecom - “see the way I see” check them out Chris
We’re literally living parallel lives man lmao
absolutely love your creations . 🥰 When you are just honestly beign yourself is so refreshing
Chris, thank you so much for this level of sincerity! It should have been really difficult to share a personal struggle to a wide audience. I hope that you feel better now!
Your videos are always very insightful to watch and incredibly inspiring, no matter how often you publish them🧡
Chris, love the video. We would love to have you on the podcast to chat about your clothing store. - Aaron
Hey hey, my favourite PoD channel is here!!Having Chris in your podcast would be *EPIC*
I can totally relate about being self destructive. I started my ecom in 2017, and in 2019 it was going great. But then it started to slow down a little and I started questioning everything I did. I kept making changes that kept making things worse. Then I would beat myself up over it. Rinse and repeat. It's now to the point where I am thinking of just shutting it down all together as I am out of options on how to get it back to where it once was.
Maybe get some fresh blood in with new ideas. What do you sell?
Great video Chris! Glad you’re back!
I have followed you since covid, and please know that you're an inspiration to all of us watching!
My first time whatching your videos, and it’s the first time i see a content creator sharing a positive message and educational content✊
Chris your videos are always so captivating! I get so excited when you post a new value filled video, also very inspiring, maybe I’m going to go down the rabbit hole once again also 😜! Thanks for the video.
Thanks a lot for this bro! This inspires me to take my dream come through.
Man I love everything of it. Wish you success in your next 8 figure business
Love the videos as always. We have been inspired by other videos in the past. Glad to hear you are doing well!
