You Are Your Habits
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and practical — and it centers on a simple idea that tends to hit a little deeper once you really sit with it: you are not your goals. You are not your intentions. You are what you do repeatedly. Around this time of year — or anytime you feel the urge for a reset — it’s easy to assume the problem is motivation. That you just need to want it more. In my experience, that’s almost never true. Most people aren’t stuck because they lack drive. They’re stuck because their daily habits aren’t aligned with what they actually want. Goals...

Important, Not Urgent
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that quietly changes everything once you really see it: most people aren’t stuck because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They’re stuck because they confuse urgency with importance. We’ve been trained to react. To answer what’s loud, immediate, and demanding. Emails. Notifications. Small fires that feel productive simply because they need attention right now. But being busy isn’t the same thing as making progress — and activity is not the same as effectiveness. What I’ve learned over time is that...

Rest Is a Skill
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that’s easy to overlook: rest isn’t something you earn after the work is done. It’s a skill you have to learn while you’re doing the work. Most of us don’t struggle because we lack motivation. We struggle because we don’t know how to manage our energy over time. We push past the point where the work is actually getting better and mistake exhaustion for progress. What I’ve learned is that rest isn’t about quitting or losing momentum. It’s about staying in the game long enough to do...

What Actually Makes a Great Friend
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it’s built around a question I think most of us care about more than we admit: what actually makes a great friend? Friendship is often treated as something casual. Easy. Automatic. But as life gets fuller — work, family, responsibility, distraction — the quality of our friendships can quietly slip into something surface-level. Not because we don’t care, but because we stop being intentional about how we show up. What I’ve learned is that great friendships aren’t defined by history or proximity. They’re defined by...

The Most Important Creative Tools Are Free
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it’s built around a simple idea I’ve come to believe deeply: the most important creative tools are free. Most creators assume they’re stuck because they don’t have the right gear, the right resources, or the right opportunity. But after decades of making work, interviewing hundreds of top creators, and studying the lives of artists across disciplines, I’ve noticed a different pattern. What actually holds people back isn’t a lack of tools — it’s a lack of the right conditions. Creativity doesn’t break down...

Stop Shipping at 95%
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct: most creators don’t struggle because they lack talent — they struggle because they quit at 95%. They get the work to “pretty good,” ship it, and move on. And for a lot of things in life, that’s fine. The 80–20 rule works. But when it comes to your core creative craft — the thing you want to be known for — good enough is the trap. The last 5% is where the details live. It’s uncomfortable, slow, and often invisible. Which is exactly why most people stop before they get there. Here’s the core idea: 80–20 works for...

Love Your Work or Don’t Ship It
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and honest: if you don’t love the work you’re making, don’t ship it — or better yet, figure out how to love the work before you ship it. I know that sounds blunt, but the market — and more importantly, your audience — can smell half-hearted work a mile away. You can’t fake the stuff that matters. Loving the work isn’t about perfection. It’s about clarity, curiosity, and being willing to do the uncomfortable thing: choose a direction, commit to it, and then grind the craft until you actually love the result. That’s the difference...

Don’t Rush the New Year: 7 Steps to Prepare Mindfully
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This time of year, I get a lot of messages from folks ready for change — they’ve declared an intention, they want the next chapter, but something’s holding them back. Some have the ideas and energy but no system to ship. Others have the systems but aren’t listening to the quiet that tells them what to build next. Different gaps, same problem: without space to reflect and a mindful plan to act, momentum stalls. Here’s the truth most people ignore: Intentions are the spark — but they won’t transform your life without quiet, synthesis, and daily practices...

Mindset. Skillset. And the Hard Stuff You’re Avoiding.
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here This week I had back-to-back coaching calls with two different clients. One had the skillset but not the mindset. The other had the mindset but not the skillset. Different people, same roadblock — they were both stuck at the edge of their next level because they were avoiding the hard stuff. Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear: You don’t level up because you “get discovered.” You level up because you build both your skillset and your mindset — and that requires doing the uncomfortable work you’ve been dodging. Skillset without mindset? You...

The Other 50% No One Told You About
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here You put the work in. You make something you’re proud of. You hit publish… and then? Crickets. Tumbleweeds. A handful of likes from your mom and your college roommate. If you’ve ever wondered why some creators seem to explode overnight while your (arguably better!) work struggles to get traction, today’s episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: Making great work is only 50% of the job. The other 50% — the part no one told you about — is community. Community is the force multiplier behind every breakout launch, every viral post, every “overnight...
info_outlineHey friends, Chase here.
Will your work still matter when everyone else is using AI to create?
It’s a real question. And let’s be honest—it’s one a lot of us are quietly asking.
Every day, new tools drop that make it easier (and faster) to generate content, art, writing, music—you name it. The machines are learning. Fast.
So where does that leave you?
If you’re a creator, this moment isn’t the end. It’s the beginning—if you choose it.
Because here’s the truth:
AI can copy the *output*. But it can’t copy *you*—your soul, your story, your weirdness, your taste. The things that made you a creative person in the first place.
And that’s where the opportunity lives.
In this episode, I unpack how to stand out in the age of AI—not by competing with it, but by doubling down on what makes your work unmistakably human.
Here’s what we get into:
- Why your unique POV is now your most valuable asset
- How to build a portfolio AI can’t replicate
- The difference between pressing buttons and telling stories
- Why taste, style, and voice matter more than ever
- How to make work that’s irreplaceable—not just impressive
The big idea?
Anyone can generate something. But only you can *create* something with heart, with history, with soul.
This isn’t about fearing the future. It’s about shaping it—on your terms. Using the tools, yes. But leading with your voice, your vision, your humanity.
Because that’s what will make your work matter tomorrow—even when machines are everywhere.
So take a hard look at what you’re making. Trim the generic. Amplify the real. And build a body of work that says something no AI ever could: *“This is me.”*
