The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

A good life is designed. Intentionally crafted. And someone whom I think excels at this, is my friend and fellow photog Alex Stohl. Alex is a photographer, enterprenuer and storyteller whose adventures around the world have informed his unique style of photography. In this episode, we chat about life, art, and fulfillment. No matter what form our art takes, for Alex, storytelling is always at the root. Whether he's creating a photograph, film, a zine, or a class. In particular, we dive deep into his experience turning ideas and curiosities into businesses. Enjoy!

Do you know how many shots Michael Jordan missed during his career? More than 9000. Take baseball: a legendary hitter, bats a .300 average, which means he succeeds only one in three times at that. You can do everything right, in both making the work and sharing it, and there's still no guarantee of success. But there's good news... In this episode, we dig into a topic I've been exploring recently: Success. I think the bar is lower than we think. Enjoy!

We're all experiencing massive change in one way or another these days. With the pandemic behind us, creative professionals have shared they're either supercharged and ready for the next big thing, or they're at the other end of it and feeling burnout. Regardless where we're at there are ways to support our daily workflow, mindset and health. You may remember that I've had Todd Henry on before. He's the creator for creators and genuinely shares so much wisdom with us on how to create longevity as a creative professional. Todd's written five books and his latest book Daily Creative, a Practical Guide for Staying Prolific, Brilliant and Healthycomes in seemingly perfect timing. The daily prompts are the simplicity and sustainability we all need as we get into our new rhythms. Todd's podcast called The Accidental Creative offers weekly tips for how to stay prolific, brilliant, and healthy. It's those three things that are a huge part of what Todd and I explore on this episode, as we dive deep into the topic of human creative potential and how good infrastructure supports this. We cover key aspects in regards to being prolific, brilliant and healthy and Todd shares with us directly what this all means. Here are some of the highlights from our conversation: Why do we need to be prolific? 5:04 I asked Todd what is it that he helps people understand about their own journey that they might not be aware of themselves? 10:33 Burnout and unhealthy, um, spaces, mindsets habits 30:57 The concept of seasons and how important they are to me. 39:47 New ways we can learn to be human. 44:40 What it means to be brilliant. 47:56

At key moments in our lives, we'll be at a crossroads. In our career, that can be deciding which project ideas to do next, which job to take, or what business decisions to make. If you feel paralyzed by these, you're not alone. In this episode, we dive into breaking through the fear and getting started. Enjoy!

No one is born knowing how to share their work. It's uncomfortable at first. Back in Graduate School, I tried every way I could to incorporate my creativity into my academic writing. Despite all the effort, I never wanted to share my work with anyone in my circle of friends. Eventually I realized that it was because I wasn't proud of it. In this episode, we explore how to face down our insecurities, sidestep impostor syndrome, and build resilence to not just share our work but create work we're proud enough to share. Enjoy!

By popular demand, this week's show is another microshow compiling some of the most popular + impactful questions from The Daily Creative (my YouTube show where I answer YOUR questions about the challenges you're facing on your journey to become an aspiring or professional creative).

I borrow from some powerful tools from Tony Robbins, Debbie Millman, and Brené Brown that creates a framework on how to program the brain to work for you. Issac lives in a place where work isn't abundant. I discuss some strategies to get started where you are, and finding/connecting to the community.

No one has single-handedly given me better insight about the business side of art than the New York Times bestselling author, Ramit Sethi. He's a business savant, mindset master, habit king, and money maker. Ramit is a regular on the show by now, and this episode is one of my favs from my 30 Day of Genius series. It was such a hit and I still get so much positive feedback on how powerful his advice is that we had to share it with you on the podcast. Our conversation is packed full of both mindset shifts as well as tried and true tactical advice so you can earn more money. And we're not talking nickels more. We're talking 10x more.

If calculated risks keep us growing, why do we stop? There are two contrasting ideas that many of us have about creativity. It's that we want to stand out and share our work while at the same time we want to fit in. When we stand out, it means we're not fitting in. We can't have both. Human nature likes us to fit in, so it becomes very risky behavior to stand out even in a creative world. If we never make anything, if we make only what's comfortable or we create something and then never share it, we're hiding. We all do it. Creatives everywhere are nodding their heads. There is a sense of knowing this truth and a knowing that we need to put ourselves out there. We're looking for career growth and creative growth to expand our lives and live better. Then again, it feels too risky. It's not our calling to hide and leave our creative calling dormant. We're meant to wake it up and nurture it.

As creatives, we are often our own worst enemies. It's far too easy to become stuck, believing the labels others have given us. These labels, and the self-limiting beliefs we attach to them, can be difficult to change. The truth is that if we want to be the best versions of ourselves possible, we must find a way to let go of who others think we are and start embracing our creativity.
