Don’t Trade Your Dreams for Security
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. If you’re feeling anxious about money right now, you’re not alone. Shrinking budgets, AI headlines, and general chaos have a lot of us questioning our value. The default move? Grab the nearest paycheck. But here’s the truth: trading your dreams for short-term security is the fastest way to kill the life you actually want. Don’t trade your dreams for security. Paying the bills matters—we’ve all been there. I waited tables in the early days of my photography career just to get by. But that was never the goal. The real goal was building a life with freedom at...

AI Doesn’t Create the Work. You Do.
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. I’m writing this from the beach, staring at the ocean, and I’ve got one big reminder for you today: You are your future. Sure, AI is everywhere. New tools pop up daily. You’ve probably seen the tweets: “Anyone can type a prompt and become a world-class designer, writer, photographer.” Sounds nice. But let’s be real—that’s not how this works. You make the work. Not the tools. AI is powerful. No doubt. But it’s still just a tool. A $10,000 camera won’t make you Ansel Adams. And a shiny new AI app won’t magically give you taste, vision, or...

Struggling to Improve? This Could Be Why Your Practice Isn’t Paying Off Yet
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like you’re working your ass off but not really getting anywhere? You’re putting in the hours. Practicing. Grinding. But the needle isn’t moving. Here’s the truth: The best in the world aren’t just clocking more time—they’re practicing differently. They’re ruthless about the basics. They’ve fallen in love with the process. And most importantly? They’ve built their identity around their craft. In this episode, I break down the 3 pillars of practice that separate masters from the rest of us—and how you can use them to level up. We’ll...
info_outlineIn this episode, Melissa Arnot Reid shares what it really takes to climb—not just the highest peaks on Earth, but the deepest valleys within ourselves. Melissa is a world-renowned mountaineer, professional mountain guide, and the first American woman to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. She has spent years guiding others to the top of the world’s tallest mountains, but in this conversation, she opens up about an even greater challenge: facing the internal struggles that no summit can fix.
We dive deep into the difference between achievement and self-worth, the pressure of proving yourself, and what happens when success doesn’t bring the validation you expect. Melissa shares the raw, untold side of her journey—the failures, the doubts, the painful past she had to confront, and the losses that forced her to reevaluate everything. She also discusses her new book, Enough, a raw and powerful memoir about what it really means to be enough, when success isn’t and the truth is harder than the summit.
.
Some highlights we explore:
- The fallacy of achievement – Why success doesn’t automatically bring happiness or contentment.
- "Am I good enough?" – The two questions that drove Melissa's biggest climbs—and biggest struggles.
- Lessons from the mountains – How extreme environments strip away who we pretend to be and reveal our true selves.
- The real hardest climb – The internal work of self-forgiveness, facing fear, and learning to let go of external validation.
Enjoy!
