Note from Chris:
This video series first came together back in 2008, was updated in 2009, refreshed again in 2013, and had its last tune-up in 2014.
I’ve gotten a little older, a little wiser, and a lot greyer since then — but the principles are still as helpful today as when they were first filmed.
A complete 2026 refresh with new stories, updated examples, and fresh video content is on the way. Everyone who subscribes now will be the first to know when the new version is ready.
