"Don't try to imagine why you didn't get the job. You can't control that. what you can control is ask yourself, Did I do the best I could to present my company and what we have to offer. That's it! That's what you owe." - - This hit me. Thanks Kier. May your soul rest in peace.

It's so difficult to even imagine that Chris once in a time didn't know much about business. RIP Keir ❤

@josequezada519 Ай бұрын

Keir was a beast. His approach to a creative business and its negotiations are tough but needed. May he RIP❤

@sophiemoconnell Ай бұрын

I didn’t know it at the time how much Keir's advice would impact me, when I first watched his series back along. He planted a seed that people who didn’t owe my life or time to people who were negative or didn't have my best interests at heart... no matter who they were. It took a long time and a lot of heartache to learn that I didn’t need anyone else's approval but my own. But I am so grateful that I am now confident in my choice to pursue the the things that I believe in. That I have people in my life who love and support me unconditionally. So, thank you Keir. I will forever be grateful that you Chris convinced you to get on camera. We all need someone in our lives who will push us to share ourselves with the world. Even if it feels a little alien! You were that for me, so I hope I can pay it forward and be that for someone else.

One of the most bold statement i've ever heard 'If you hire me i probably will end up knowing more about you than your therapist and your partner because you have to tell the truth if you cant tell the truth i can't help you..."

Do the work. Trust the process. Stay out of the results. It's amazing to see the message pass on from your mentor Kier and now Chris is continue the legacy by impacting on all of our lives.

That man was someone who just breathes wisdom. I'm glad that Chris has taken up the mantle and I'm glad his words will live on with videos like these. Rest well, Keir: you've been a great teacher to us all.

Great video! I would love to see more content with Keir. If He taught Chris a lot, I'm sure he can teach all of us a lot too. Keep it coming!

I had a few 1 on 1s with Keir. His ability to take a step back and see big picture was elite. Great person. Great mentor.

I remember that day, I was in the back row in the audience with my buddy Oskar. I got a few chances to talk with Keir, such a great guy and such great business advice. He continues to be missed.

Can't hear this stuff enough times, thank you. Would LOVE to hear more about what you SHOULD do on creative solopreneur websites....a couple of live website audit/insight sessions covering different scales and markets would be super valuable.

@podcastmariapopa1 Ай бұрын

I really liked that you only mentioned "In Loving Memory of Keir McLaren " ..and you didn't even indicate the years. Indirectly, you conveyed to us the fact that he will live forever through you and through all the others whom he helped to follow their mission/dream/purpose + and to make money ONLY AS A RESULT OF THAT. "I don't help those who just want to make money" - What values..what character... ! HATS OFF to Mr. Keir McLaren !💫💪🙌

Are there more videos with this guest? Why is there no reference to him in the video or notes??? You say RIP Keir Mclaren finally at the end of video, but don't spell out that this is him (for those unfamiliar). Thanks.

A lot of the earlier videos on the channel had Keir on and Chris has quoted him multiple times in his talks.

"making money, to be honest with you, is not that hard" 💀

Making money is not that hard? Excuse me? Come to Brazil and try to make money starting from the bottom. It's too hypocritical to say that he doesn't want to work with people who think about money when a business always has to prioritize making money.

@thefutur 21 күн бұрын

We hear you, yes businesses are created to make money. There's a difference between working with people who are only motivated by money and working with people who are passionate about what they do and can also make money from it. We also live in a "global economy" where you can make money online from anywhere in the world.

@WDCESSMAOnline 21 күн бұрын

@@thefutur I get it, but it's not that easy to make money. Maybe it is for people who are born in first-world countries. I'm an e-commerce employee for several EU countries, still living in Brazil.
