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....

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_outlineIn this week’s episode, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation that originally aired back in 2015 — one that feels even more relevant today. Brené Brown joined me to talk about courage, connection, and what it really means to find true belonging in a divided world. 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.
Since our original conversation, Brené has continued to expand this body of work through her bestselling books — including Atlas of the Heart and Dare to Lead — and her podcasts Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead. She remains one of the most trusted and transformative voices on leadership, belonging, and vulnerability in the modern era.
Whether you’re hearing Brené for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, this episode is a reminder that belonging isn’t something we negotiate with the world — it’s something we carry within us. It’s about having the courage to stand alone, create from your truth, and use your art to help others feel seen and connected.
Some highlights we explore:
- Why true belonging starts within — and how creatives can hold space for both solitude and connection.
- How art transforms loneliness into shared humanity and despair into hope.
- The four practices of true belonging — from speaking truth to BS (with civility) to holding hands with strangers.
- Why every creative must be willing to be misunderstood and stand alone in the wilderness.
- How boundaries and self-worth protect your creative energy and integrity.
This conversation reminds us that the path to connection begins with courage — the courage to show up, tell the truth, and make something real. As Brené says: “Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong… because you will always find it.”
Enjoy the revisit!
