Podcasts about creativelive

In this episode, I share how putting your creative work into the world—no matter how small—can lead to massive, unexpected impact. I open up about my early days as a self-taught photographer, the pain and joy of learning through film, and how a backpacking trip with my wife turned into the start of an unconventional creative career. This is a syndicate episode from the B&H Photography Podcast, where I sit down with Derek, Jill, and Mike to trace the arc of my journey—from building the Best Camera app and pioneering mobile photography, to founding CreativeLive and finding purpose through community. We talk about the cost of taking creative risks, the billion-dollar idea that got away, and the deeper why behind making and sharing your art. If you've ever doubted whether your creative voice matters, this episode is for you. Some highlights we explore: Why you only need 20 people to support your work and make a living. WThe emotional cost—and wisdom—of losing out on the Instagram moment. What “the best camera is the one that's with you” really means. The key mindset shift: You're not promoting, you're connecting people to something they need. Enjoy!

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.

Hey friends, Chase here. Today, I want to talk about something we all face at some point—the moment when what once felt like a dream becomes a trap. It's a tough place to be, but if we can recognize it early, we can turn it into an opportunity for growth and reinvention. When Success Becomes Stifling Back in 2010, I co-founded CreativeLive with a simple but ambitious idea: to give the world access to free, world-class creative education. We started small, but over time, we grew to serve tens of millions of people and raised more than $60 million from top-tier investors like Richard Branson, Reid Hoffman, and Google Ventures. At first, my unconventional background as a creator—not an MBA—was celebrated. I brought a personal brand and a community along for the ride, and it seemed like a competitive advantage. But eventually, the pressure to conform crept in. The same people who once admired my unique approach began questioning it. The Subtle Drift Away from Purpose What started as small adjustments in how I operated became a slow drift off course. It wasn't dramatic at first—just a few degrees off. But after walking that path for long enough, I found myself far from where I wanted to be. The very thing I had built to inspire creativity felt stifling and uncreative. And here's the thing—this story isn't unique to me. It happens to many of us. The artist who becomes a manager. The entrepreneur buried in spreadsheets. The corporate climber who wakes up one day and wonders how they got there. If you've ever felt that way—or if you do in the future—this is for you. Signs It's Time for a Change Listen to Your Gut When something feels off for too long, it's your gut telling you it's time to move. Ignoring that voice comes with real consequences—stress, poor health, and a fog that clouds your creativity and joy. Nothing Lasts Forever Even the most exciting roles can run their course. Dreams change, and that's okay. Letting go of a title or identity that no longer serves you is hard, but it's often necessary for growth. Build Your Escape Pod Early Don't wait for a crisis to figure out your next move. Start building skills, connections, and momentum now. When it's time to make a change, you'll be ready to transition on your terms—not out of desperation. Embrace Change as a Constant Change is inevitable. It's uncomfortable, but it's almost always a catalyst for something better. When you start hearing that little voice whispering about a new chapter, don't ignore it. Trust it. Your future self will thank you. Until next time, take care and keep pushing toward what feels true and right for you. Enjoy!

Hal Ackerman is making his second appearance on StoryBeat. Hal spent thirty years teaching screenwriting in UCLA's legendary screenwriting program. Along with Richard Walter and Lew Hunter, Hal helped launch the careers of many dozens of writers whose work you've seen on screens large and small. Hal has sold film and television material to all the outlets. His screenplay Holmeyer's Bridge, holds the unofficial Guinness record for having been continuously optioned for twenty consecutive years, owned during that stretch by two Academy Award winning producers, two Tony Award winning producers and others.His short fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals. “Sweet Day” was recorded by the late Robert Forster. Concrete Charley and The Golden Boy won the 2020 Sports Literate Sport Short contest.Hal's written three “Soft boiled” murder mystery novels about an aging counter-culture P.I. named Harry Stein. The first of those, Stein Stung, won a Lovey award for best first novel. Subsequently, he published Stein Stoned and more recently, Smoke and Lather. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all three Stein books and can tell you Hal delivers a unique take on the detective genre. Funny while being dramatic, Hal's writing is cleverly brilliant and brilliantly clever. I highly recommend all three Harry Stein books to you.Hal's also known for publishing the highly informative and truly useful book, Write Screenplays that Sell: The Ackerman Way. If you want insight from one of the foremost screenwriting teachers of the last half century, make a point to check it out.  Hal's One-Man play, Testosterone: How Prostate Cancer Made a Man of Me (renamed Prick) won the William Saroyan award for drama and was named Best Play at the 2012 New York Solo Festival. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm proud to say I was fortunate to have been one of Hal's many students while I was attending UCLA's Graduate Screenwriting program. www.halackermanwriting.com CreativeLive.com

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.

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!

Simon is a humble man taking his folio building and learning through CreativeLive (courses by John Cornicello) quite seriously, but after encouragement from his friend Angie Whitten and guidance from Saray Taylor-Roman and myself with The Consultation Collection stepped into TFP (trade) sessions into charging sustainable pricing and giving an amazing experience alongside incredible imagery!Sue Bryce even said to him "You're an amazing artist, you have beautiful work...but it needs to be consistent. You show me you can be consistent." and Simon realized that also meant it wasn't only the quality of his work, but his business too: his marketing, systems, service, shooting, and revenue.Simon and Cat chat about where his revenue is today and Cat challenges him to set bigger goals for the revenue he's generating in his business and they talk through on this episode what is happening IN his business how he might get to those bigger revenue goals because once you can MASTER the fundamentals of the sales process, everything can be gamified.

“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. You can't be creative and judging at the same time.” – Chase Jarvis – [10:20]Three key principles of Chase's book:1. Everyone is creative2. Creativity is not a skill. It's a habit. It's a process, not a product.3. Creativity is a muscle. – [13:08]How creating in small ways every day leads to the habit of creativity – [15:29]The myth of creativity: some people are creative and some people aren't. Chase explains where this myth came from – [16:49]Proof that we are “self-expression machines.” And proof that society makes us scared to be creative – [19:11]I ask Chase about mastery – [21:19]Chase tells us what Creative Live is and what kind of classes they have available for you – [23:56]I ask Chase about fear and self-doubt- [24:51]How to get to know the things you're supposed to be doing in this world. And how Chase figured this out for himself, too – [25:25]I ask Chase if building a business made him fearful of losing his roots in photography -[27:22]How to know if something is the right path for you – [28:05]Know when to shift directions. 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.

"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.

Show Notes [00:01:30] Frank was raised by outdoorsy parents, I developed a love for outdoor activities. After college, I discovered hiking in Sonoma County. [00:05:54] "I was feeling stuck coding in the basement, so I switched majors to business and marketing." [00:08:06] Santa Rosa in Sonoma County offers a variety of activities, including coastal visits, redwood forests, hiking mountains, and Annadale. It also boasts a vibrant food and wine scene, including Russian River Brewery. [00:11:26] Understanding consumer behaviors helps us drive more visitors to Sonoma County, which generated $2.29 billion in tourism revenue. [00:13:40] Sonoma County promotes responsible travel as a destination stewardship organization, aiming to preserve and support the local area. [00:17:19] My dad was a great storyteller; he taught me how to tell a story, and photography took it to another level. [00:20:53] Red Car Wine offers a unique experience of walking through the forest while practicing forest bathing and drinking wine. Participants slow down, observe nature, and enjoy the vineyards, ultimately feeling transformed and less attached to their phones. [00:25:36] It is best to visit during the week for fewer crowds and better rates, especially in late fall and early winter. Stay at the coast for a budget-friendly experience of Sonoma County. [00:27:50] Bodega Bay and Santa Rosa are great for activities. Annadel is good for running and biking. Sonoma County offers various experiences. Sebastopol and Petaluma are also enjoyable. [00:29:34] Convention and Visitors Bureau generates revenue and support for local communities worldwide. Frank recommends for those interested in tourism to explore their local Convention and Visitors Bureau.  Frank's favorite outdoor activity growing up [00:03:49] Skiing Follow up with Frank [00:31:05] "LinkedIn is probably the best way to get in touch with me."

When we say trusting ourselves, which self are we talking about? Which parts of ourselves can't be trusted? That's what we're exploring today with returning guest, Ilise Benun.

On June 8, Skye Pillsbury opened the latest edition of her newsletter, The Squeeze, with the header RIP Gimlet. She continued:I'm heartbroken over the news that Spotify has laid off another 200 podcast employees, though I'm not shocked.— Skye Pillsbury, The SqueezeI devoured Alex Blumberg's Startup when it first came out, which was about a year before I started podcasting. Then, I inhaled Reply All when it launched, and despite its later troubles, was genuinely moved by its final episode. I lapped up Blumberg's earnest interviews with entrepreneurs on Without Fail. I even had the privilege of interviewing Blumberg during a course I taught at CreativeLive.I followed Gimlet's acquisition by Spotify with interest (and a healthy dose of skepticism). The bumpy ride that they've had since then was utterly predictable. Though, like Pillsbury, I find the news that Gimlet is no more—at least in any recognizable sense—quite upsetting.This short dispatch is about podcasting and the podcast industry—but really, it's about why we shouldn't judge success—or run companies—using the logic of Wall Street.Footnotes: "RIP Gimlet" in The Squeeze by Skye Pillsbury "Spotify to Layoff 200 Employees in Podcast Strategy Shift" by Amanda Holpuch, New York Times Startup by Alex Blumberg & Gimlet Media (Excerpts from Season 1, Episodes 1, 2, and 4) Reply All by Alex Goldman, Emmanuel Dsotzi, PJ Vogt, and Gimlet Media  Without Fail by Alex Blumberg & Gimlet Media "Podcast Companies, Once Walking on Air, Feel the Strain of Gravity" by Reggie Ugwu, New York Times "A U.F.O.
