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...

Charge More. You’re Worth It.
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. If you’re a creator, here’s a hard truth: most of us don’t charge enough. We look around, see what others are doing, and call that “the going rate.” But that’s not how value works. There’s no upper limit on creativity — you can charge whatever someone is willing to pay. The key is learning to positionyourself and negotiate with confidence. Your job isn’t to fit perfectly into “industry standards.” It’s to understand the value you bring and price accordingly. It takes the same effort to sell something for $100 as it does for $10,000 — the...

Stop Planning. Start Doing.
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. Here’s an important reminder: you’ll never feel ready to start. But you’ve got to do it anyway. And the operative word there is “do.” Just start. This episode is the kick in the ass you need. Too often we get bogged down in the dreaming, the research, and the preparing - without the DOING. Feel me on this? It’s a common excuse that most of use…that we just need a little more planning… Wrong. This is not to say that planning isn't necessary, just that it shouldn’t be the crutch that prevents you from executing....

Her insights on creativity, loneliness, and the power of standing alone have only become more urgent as we navigate today’s culture of comparison and noise.

Stop Curating. Start Creating.
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. If you’ve ever found yourself hesitating to start a project because it didn’t feel “portfolio-worthy,” this one’s for you. I’ve fallen into that trap more times than I’d like to admit — obsessing over whether something I’m making is polished enough to represent me. The irony? That mindset kills the very creativity that fills a portfolio in the first place. The Portfolio Trap Somewhere along the way, we started treating our portfolios like prisons instead of playgrounds. We only want to show our “best work,” so we start *only* making work we think...

The Creative Edge Isn’t Vanishing — It’s Moving.
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. I’m back with a little reflection that’s been brewing for a while—one that hits right at the heart of what it means to be a creator right now. Lately, the number one question in my inbox (and probably yours too) goes something like this: “What happens to creativity now that AI can do so much?” If that question sounds familiar, you’re not alone. We’ve seen this movie before. Back in 2006, I wrote a post responding to photographers who were terrified that point-and-shoot cameras would “steal” their jobs. Fast forward to today, and we’re hearing the...

The Antidote to Burnout Isn’t Rest — It’s Play
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. I’m writing you today from the south of France, where I’ve been taking a little breather before a busy fall. This episode is a reflection on some of the most popular questions that came up around the launch of Never Play It Safe. In the particular lies the universal — and the questions from our community reflect challenges so many of us face. Burnout, Side Hustles & Tiny Experiments Matt asked about starting a coaching/consulting side hustle. My answer? Don’t try to solve everything from the couch. Start small. Run tiny experiments. Serve people by solving...

The Most Important Question You’re Probably Not Asking: How Much Is Enough?
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. At the height of my career—awards, startups, celebrity collabs—my wife stopped me cold with one question: “How much is enough?” I didn’t have an answer. From the outside, life looked perfect. But inside, I was chasing “more” without knowing why. The Illusion of More The culture around us says: keep climbing, keep grinding, keep stacking. But more for the sake of more eventually costs you—your health, your relationships, even your sense of self. Without defining what “enough” looks like, ambition becomes a treadmill you can’t step off. Why...

Social Media as a Stage, Not a Sofa
The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show
Hey friends, Chase here. If social media feels heavier than it used to, you’re not imagining it. Infinite feeds, algorithm whiplash, and the pressure to post “one more thing” can drain the very creativity we’re trying to share. Here’s the shift: treat social media like a stage you step onto with intent—not a sofa you collapse into by default. Social Media as a Stage, Not a Sofa A stage has purpose: you arrive prepared, you deliver, you connect, you step off. A sofa invites scrolling, numbing, and losing track of the most precious resource you own—your attention. When you design...
info_outlineHey friends, Chase here.
I’m back with a little reflection that’s been brewing for a while—one that hits right at the heart of what it means to be a creator right now. Lately, the number one question in my inbox (and probably yours too) goes something like this: “What happens to creativity now that AI can do so much?”
If that question sounds familiar, you’re not alone. We’ve seen this movie before. Back in 2006, I wrote a post responding to photographers who were terrified that point-and-shoot cameras would “steal” their jobs. Fast forward to today, and we’re hearing the same fear—just swap “AI” for “amateurs with a camera.”
For a trip down memory lane, check out that original post, “Don’t Worry, Just Focus. Please.” — it’s wild how the same conversation echoes through time. Different tools, same creative truth.
The Creative Edge Isn’t Vanishing — It’s Moving.
Here’s the thing: every new tool feels like a threat at first. Digital cameras. Instagram. Smartphones. Now AI. Each time, a slice of the market shifts. The low-end work gets automated or absorbed by cheaper, faster tools. But the top quartile—the creators who bring taste, originality, and human nuance—don’t vanish. They adapt, evolve, and expand what’s possible.
If you’re worried about being replaced, you’re probably looking at the wrong part of the playing field. The real creative edge has just moved—it’s waiting for you to catch up.
Here’s what we get into in this episode:
- History repeats: from point-and-shoot cameras to AI, every leap in tech stirs the same fear—and the same opportunity
- Stay out of the bottom tier: low-margin work gets eaten first; creativity built on depth, taste, and expertise always finds demand
- Leverage the tools: don’t compete with the machine—learn to wield it to multiply your output and sharpen your ideas
- Mindset as the real skill: the belief that you can evolve is what keeps you in the game when the rules change
The big idea?
Your creative advantage isn’t disappearing—it’s evolving. The tools may change, but what makes your work matter has always been the same: curiosity, courage, and a willingness to play with what’s next. AI isn’t the end of creativity. It’s an invitation to a new chapter. So pick up the tools, experiment, and move with the edge—because that’s where the real art happens.
