Chase Jarvis is an American photographer, director, artist, and entrepreneur. From April 2014 until July 2022 Jarvis was the chief executive officer of CreativeLive, an online education platform that he co-founded in 2010. I've been a long-time listener of Chase's podcast, the Chase Jarvis Live Show, and actually wrote him down as one of my ideal podcast guests when I started this show all the way back in 2020. So this is a full circle moment for me. This week, Chase is releasing his newest book, Never Play It Safe – A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity, and a Life You Want. I've pre-ordered my copy and I've read the first chapter, and recommend you do the same. This conversation is about thinking bigger, taking risks, and getting out of your own way. I left feeling more relaxed, inspired, and fully recharged. I hope you do, too.

Above Photograph © Chase Jarvis We've all heard the saying “The best camera is the one that's with you.” But do you know how this catch phrase ended up as a mantra of the mobile economy? In today's show, we speak with Chase Jarvis, the man behind Best Camera—the wildly successful photo sharing app that predated Instagram—to get an inside look at his wild ride. A born entrepreneur and self-made photographer with a hunger that always worked against the grain, Chase's meteoric rise in action sports/lifestyle photography dovetailed with the dawn of the sharing economy, leading him to a moonshot idea. The ensuing saga of Best Camera's viral success, subsequent demise, and Chase's quick pivot into his next visionary business model—Creative Live—is both a cautionary tale and a redemption story. All told, you'll gain fascinating insights into the nexus of creative innovation and big business at the highest levels. When asked about his biggest take away from Best Camera given the benefit of hindsight, Chase doesn't miss a beat, responding, “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.” Guest: Chase Jarvis Episode Timeline: 3:44: How Chase's mastery of sports and the gift of his grandfather's camera gear led to a passion for teaching himself photography. 9:33: Channeling real-world examples from his grandfather and father into early pictures, along with library books about the masters' and photographic techniques. 15:35: The development of Chase's early entrepreneurial spirit and how his second-grade teacher stifled these efforts. 22:50: Bucking trends and connecting with the uniqueness you bring to your images as a creative style. 26:32: Embracing social media and the sharing community early on and the ability to see around the corner as an entrepreneur. 35:53: Chase's fast track to commercial success, technological innovation, and developing the Best Camera App. 46:20: Episode Break 47:48: The lessons learned from the Best Camera failure and how Chase channeled these lessons into the success of the first livestreaming learning platform, Creative Live. 52:24: Making the pivot from the first live photo feed to building Creative Live as a way to answer questions the questions asked by a massive global audience. 1:00:51: Creative Live's pioneering approach to a freemium business model, plus offering access as a core company value. 1:05:29: The most popular offerings at Creative Live: the fundamentals, the business of classes, and the big name thought leaders. 1:12:38: Chase's views on the current—and future—landscape in social media, creativity, and AI, plus advice for getting comfortable being uncomfortable. 1:20:43: What success means to Chase, and the message in his recent book Never Play it Safe: A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity and a Life You Love. Guest Bio: Chase Jarvis is an award-winning artist, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and one of the most influential photographers of the past 20 years, whose diverse portfolio spans from advertising campaigns for Apple, Nike, and Red Bull to collaborations with athletes like Serena Williams and icons such as Lady Gaga and Sir Richard Branson. As an early adopter of social media and the sharing economy, Chase created Best Camera (the first photo-sharing app) in 2009 and co-founded the online education platform CreativeLive in 2010. Chase has spoken on six continents and advised Fortune 100 companies, with invitations to both the Obama White House and Buckingham Palace.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes of The Learning Leader Show Sign up for "Mindful Monday" (it's free) - https://ryanhawk.kit.com/profile My guest for episode #618 is Chase Jarvis. Chase is a photographer, director, artist, and entrepreneur. He was the CEO of an online education platform called Creative Live from 2014 to 2022. He's earned countless awards for his photography and creative work including a Pulitzer Prize for a New York Times story he contributed to called “Snow Fall.” He's also the author of multiple books including Creative Calling and Never Play It Safe. Notes: Opening Joke: "What has 52 teeth and holds back a monster?" We are all wildly creative. It is trained out of us as we grow older. Creativity is foundational to all human beings. It's on us to tap into our creativity and get it out of us to help solve problems, to create optionality, and to be innovative. Regardless of your job, becoming more creative will make you better at it. Play infinite games with transformational people. It seems like when we give to others, genuinely try to help them, and have a service orientation, good things happen to all. There are transactional people and transformational leaders. Let's strive to be transformative and play the long game with high-character people. Transactional leaders are infuriating. Transformational leaders are inspiring. “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch, but on its own wings.” Believe in yourself and your ability to bounce back if the thing doesn't go your way. Set up a series of experiments. Not all of them will work. You'll be better for having tried, and tried again, and then again. We learn from both our successes and our failures. Initially, Chase planned to attend medical school after graduating from undergrad. A few weeks before his graduation, his grandfather died and left all his photography equipment to his grandson. “Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” - Helen Keller "Safety is an illusion. It does not exist in nature, so why then do we seek it? "Playing it safe is about fear. And fear is only optimized for survival--not creativity, happiness, joy, connection, harmony, fulfillment, or any of the gifts you have to give or receive in this life." Intuition is everything. What if we started paying attention to that? "I don't know why they call us founders. I didn't find anything. I built that shit. We are builders." There are 7 basic levers for life: Attention Time – NYU Professor James Carse. Finite and infinite games. Treat life like an infinite game. What's the difference between systems and schedules? (why are systems better?) Intuition – The benefits of compounding trust. Chase's wife Kate. First met on a beach just after high school. Sparks were present, but no fire. “She had a special quality I couldn't quite place.” Went to college 1,500 miles apart. All along it was your intuition that kept you on notice. How do you know when it's your intuition speaking? Why is playing it safe the riskiest thing we can do Constraints - What can we learn about constraints from Stefan Sagmeister? Play - What can we learn about play from Novak Djokovic? Failure - Melissa Arnot Reid – Replaces the word “fail” with the word “live” – Instead of saying “I'm afraid to fail. She says I'm afraid to live.” Practice - Purposeful practice. Anders Ericsson Keynote speaking - Don't be a robot. Have fun. Let it rip. Results are better in a better state of mind. Do tiny experiments when the stakes are low.

So much of our lives is governed by the desire to feel safe. I get it. The world can feel like an unstable, scary place. Feeling physically and psychologically safe matters. To our mental and physical health. But, does that come a point where playing it too safe actually causes us harm? Makes our worlds, our relationships, experiences and lives smaller. Less good? Feeling like, deep down, you know there's more to life than merely existing within the confines of a box that, sure, might feel safe, but also keeps you and your life so much more narrow and limited than it could otherwise be? And, all too often, the confines of that box, that alleged safety, have been drawn by someone else's expectations. Our guest today is Chase Jarvis, and his new book “Never Play It Safe: A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity, and a Life You Love” serves as an inspiring clarion call to challenge the notion of safety as an excuse for complacency. An award-winning artist, serial entrepreneur, and one of the most influential photographers of the past decade, Chase has created campaigns for iconic brands like Apple, Nike, and Red Bull. He's also the co-founder and former CEO of CreativeLive, an online education platform that's helped over 50 million students unlock their creative potential.

Have you ever told yourself, “I'll start working on THAT once I'm done with this big project!” Or… “I'm really going to get started on that goal once we're on the other side of the holidays.” Or… “I'm really going to start making time for ME… once I get this off my plate.” Ever been there? Well… if you're like me (and many of my Coaching Clients)... you tell yourself that but THEN… on the other side of that project… the holidays… or getting that thing off your plate… something else fills that time and you never get started on the thing you REALLY want to do… experience or achieve. Yup… that phenomenon is what we call “The Illusion of Future Time.” And in THIS episode we not only talk about “The Illusion of Future Time” and how it can sneak in and kill your big dreams and goals… before you even get started. But we also dig into tools to help you to BEAT the “Future Time Illusion!” It's a deep dive! That means it's just you and me! And we are going to have fun. So let's get to it!

"Who can I be learning from?" Pablo Picasso said, "Action is the foundations key to all success." LET'S HEAR FROM YOU! Okay… THIS was fun. But I'm curious (as always!).

Welcome to The Spark—your weekly creative pick-me-up from The Creative Boom Podcast. Each Thursday, we bring you a shorter, snappier episode packed with inspiration, creative news, and practical tips to fuel your creative journey as the week winds down. Whether you need a quick shot of motivation or insights to carry you through, we've got you covered. We reflected on this week's interview with Luigi Carnovale, in which we focused on the art of reinvention. Luigi shared his insights on navigating new tech, client demands, and personal evolution as a creative. His message? Business is about people, and we are in control of our own paths. If you've been feeling stuck, his words will inspire you to embrace change, just as he has. In this week's Creative News roundup, D&AD's 2024 Annual Showcase highlights the best creative campaigns and trends, such as fandoms and textural evolution, to inspire the next generation. Headspace introduced Ebb, a generative AI chatbot to support mental health with personalised real-time conversations. Finally, teenage gamer Michael Artiaga made history by resetting Tetris after reaching the highest level. Gosh, it's an amazing feat. I can hear the music in my head now. How it didn't drive him mad, I'll never know. But, understandably, he confessed he'll never play it again. For The Spotlight, we looked at the independent type foundries set to shine in 2025. From Jessica Walsh's emotionally driven Type of Feeling to Grilli Type's standout creations, these foundries offer fresh, experimental fonts that push boundaries. And the best part? We had nothing to do with the final cut; it was all down to you, the creative community, as you shared your favourites. Our Book of the Week is Never Play It Safe by Chase Jarvis, a manifesto for creatives looking to embrace intuition and risk-taking. Drawing from his experiences as an award-winning photographer and entrepreneur, Jarvis offers practical strategies for breaking out of our comfort zone, pursuing bold ideas, and building a fulfilling life rooted in personal passion. Doesn't it feel appropriate, given this week's conversation with Luigi? We thought so. In our Tip of the Week, we look at how to differentiate yourself. And one way to stand out in a crowded creative industry is by embracing vulnerability. Share your authentic experiences—audiences connect more deeply with honesty than perfection. There's lots more advice on this theme in the article on Creative Boom, so be sure to check it out. We received different responses from listeners about recent podcast episodes for our Letters to the Editor this week. Mike, an illustrator from Leeds, shared how Seema Sharma's discussion on AI completely changed his perspective, leaving him more optimistic while affirming that the human touch remains irreplaceable. On the other hand, Amara, a creative director from London, expressed concern about AI, cautioning against over-reliance on machines at the risk of losing the originality that defines creativity. Another letter from James, based in Devon, reflected on Luigi's experiences in the design industry. James related to Luigi's decision to leave the city, sharing how his move from London to his hometown led to unexpected creative opportunities while maintaining connections in the capital. What about you? What do you think? We'd love to hear from you! If you have any thoughts on this episode or anything else from the show, drop us a line at letters@creativeboom.com, and we might feature your email in next week's episode of The Spark. On Monday, Lisa Smith, global executive creative director at JKR, will join us. She will share hard-hitting insights on leadership, creativity, and building a career at the top. Don't miss it!

Will being too cautious stifle your dreams? Never Play It Safe author Chase Jarvis reveals how embracing risk can reward you with a more fulfilling life! What We Discuss with Chase Jarvis: Creativity is not limited to traditional artistic pursuits; it's a fundamental human trait that can be applied to all aspects of life, including career choices and personal development. Our brains are designed to keep us safe, which can discourage risk-taking. However, rewards often lie on the other side of uncertainty and discomfort. Time management is less important than understanding and changing our relationship with time. Viewing life as long rather than short can lead to more thoughtful and fulfilling decisions. Intuition is a powerful tool that combines rational thought with cellular memory. Developing and trusting your intuition can lead to better decision-making in various aspects of life. Embracing creativity and personal growth is always possible, regardless of your past or current situation. By making a conscious decision to tap into your creative potential and applying even a small amount of effort, you can create significant positive changes in your life. Start by acknowledging your creative abilities and taking small steps towards expressing them in your daily activities. And much more...

Chase Jarvis is an American photographer, director, artist, and entrepreneur. From April 2014 until July 2022 Jarvis was the chief executive officer of CreativeLive, an online education platform that he co-founded in 2010. I've been a long-time listener of Chase's podcast, the Chase Jarvis Live Show, and actually wrote him down as one of my ideal podcast guests when I started this show all the way back in 2020. So this is a full circle moment for me. This week, Chase is releasing his newest book, Never Play It Safe – A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity, and a Life You Want. I've pre-ordered my copy and I've read the first chapter, and recommend you do the same. This conversation is about thinking bigger, taking risks, and getting out of your own way.

In this thought-provoking episode of Daily Creative, we delve into the concept of safety, its potential illusions, and how it impacts creativity.Chase Jarvis (author of Never Play It Safe) shares his personal journey from a budding second-grade entrepreneur, whose creative ventures were effectively shut down by a well-meaning teacher, to becoming a globally celebrated commercial photographer, director, author, and founder of CreativeLive. He underscores the notion that the best experiences in life are often on the other side of our comfort zones and how societal norms and expectations can steer us away from our true paths.Throughout the episode, we also reflect on the wisdom of 20th-century mystic Thomas Merton on the dangers of imitation and the value of staying true to oneself, even when misunderstood. Jarvis provides insights into the importance of intuition, attention, and constraints as vital elements of creativity that are frequently undermined by societal pressures.Five Key Learnings:1. Illusions of Safety: Perceived safety in stable jobs or predictable careers can often be more dangerous as it puts others in control of our lives.2. Nature of Risk: Avoiding risk does not eliminate problems; it only changes the type of challenges we face and may lead to worse situations.3. Intuition and Creativity: Our intuition, attention, and constraints are powerful tools we have been conditioned to ignore, yet they are essential for creative success.4. Risk as a Portfolio: Taking risks isn't about recklessness; it's about calculated decisions and balancing various aspects of life to ensure growth and innovation.5. Individual Risk Tolerance: Everyone has a different tolerance for risk, and what feels risky to one might feel safe to another. It's crucial to celebrate small wins and respect individual journeys.Get full interviews and daily content in the Daily Creative app at DailyCreative.app.Mentioned in this episode:NEW BOOK!

“If this idea… the idea of overcoming one fear a day scares you, then keep reading.”I wrote this line three years ago.I was doing a photo challenge. I asked Chase Jarvis, one of the best photographers in the world and the founder of Creative Live, “What should I do?”I wanted to know how to take a good photo.He asked me what I liked.I said, “Sad people.”So he told me to shoot through the lens of “connection.” So I went inside. And looked for my inner compass.I went to eat.Then I saw the man. He was a balding guy in his 60s waiting to be served. He told me he just arrived after a 17-hour trip from Italy. He said, "I am tired."And I shot him.I shot him before my daughter left for college. Before I became a stepdad. Before stand-up comedy. Before Trump. Before #metoo. Before phone addiction (sort of). Before a lot of things.“That photograph is evidence,” Chase said. “It's evidence that we're all creative… Wildy.”But not everyone believes that.Because they've blocked it for too many years.But you can get it back.Chase explains how in his book, “Creative Calling: Establish a Daily Practice, Infuse Your World with Meaning, and Succeed in Work + Life.”And he explains the DNA of creativity on my podcast. Here's a list of everything we talk about. Including quotes from Chase and tips on how to start your daily creative process today:I introduce Chase Jarvis, one of the best photographers in the world and founder of Creative Live – [3:35]How Chase helped me hone my creative muscle three years ago – [4:32]“We're all creative, wildly” – Chase Jarvis – [8:18]The wrong way to think about creativity – [8:48]“When you're in your purest element of creativity, you're not judging.

How to know if you're following the flame in your life. Or not – [29:45]Why you're loved ones don't support your dreams and want you to do what's safe…- [30:14]“Now is the riskiest time in human history to do the thing that has always been safe. Because the world is changing so fast. If you don't have a life and connection and a passion for what you're doing, you're going to be isolated. You're going to be lonely. You're going to be sick. It's not safe to do what everybody else wants.

And who they aren't. – [1:06:09]Listen to your calling. “It's not always a trumpet,” Chase said. “It's a whisper and that whisper is inside of you. And it doesn't look like a map.

Math is creative. Science is creative. No matter what you do, somehow you're creating in small ways – [1:17:08]Chase gives some experiments that you can do to start today – [1:18:42]Why this book resonated with me – [1:21:45]Rejection therapy. Try this to advance in ability faster – [1:22:34]“Being willing to be uncomfortable is a huge opportunity.” – Chase Jarvis – [1:24:42]Proof that “people want to help you when you do crazy shit”- [1:26:46]The one exercise Chase does every morning to make himself get out of his comfort zone – [1:28:22]I thank Chase for coming on the show and breaking down the DNA of creativity.
