In this engaging episode, Chris Do connects with Adrian Per, a talented filmmaker, creative director, and rising social media influencer, to unpack his journey of perseverance and self-discovery.

He shares the struggles of growing up as the son of immigrant parents, dealing with societal and familial expectations, and navigating financial challenges. The conversation delves into pivotal moments, including Adrian’s move to Los Angeles, his transition from music videos to branded content, and the lessons he learned about humility, collaboration, and self-expression.

Adrian also provides a fascinating glimpse into his creative process, from scripting to self-shooting, and discusses the importance of authenticity in both personal style and professional projects. With humor, vulnerability, and practical insights, this episode is an invaluable resource for creatives and entrepreneurs aiming to make their mark.

Break Free from Emotional Patterns - With Melanie Whitney | Episode 330

In this episode, I sit down with communication coach and mindfulness expert Melanie Whitney to explore the power of emotional regulation, mindful communication, and overcoming core wounds.

We dive into practical strategies for self-awareness, recognizing emotional patterns, and understanding how past experiences shape our present reactions. We also break down her P.E.A.C.E. framework — a tool to help individuals identify and heal from core wounds like unworthiness, rejection, and grief.

This conversation is packed with insights on how to show up authentically, communicate with intention, and lead a more empowered life.
