Episodes
Summer School: Elizabeth Gilbert on Truth-Telling, Mercy, and the Art of Being Yourself
Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is the sixth and final installment of Summer School 2026—episodes I personally returned to most this year when I was stuck, blocked, or facing a very particular need. This one with Elizabeth Gilbert i
Summer School: Mel Robbins on Anxiety, Action, and the 5-Second Rule
Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I personally went back to this year when I was stuck. This one with Mel Robbins is near the top of that list. At 41, Mel was unemployed, drowning in de
Summer School: Ryan Holiday on Stoicism, Marketing, and Creating Work That Lasts
Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—the set of episodes I personally return to the most when I'm stuck and need something true to lean on. This one with Ryan Holiday is high on that list. I've gon
Summer School: Ben Uyeda on Escalation, Purpose, and Building Bigger Without Losing Yourself
Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I return to when I'm stuck. When a pattern I've been conditioned to see suddenly needs to be broken, I go back to the people who help me think differen
Summer School: Tony Robbins on Peak Performance, Precision Medicine, and Transforming Your Quality of Life
Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I go back to when I'm stuck, looking for the person in my network who's already lived the answer. This one with Tony Robbins is a perfect example. I've
Summer School: Brené Brown on Vulnerability, Creativity, and the Courage to Be Seen
Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is the first installment of Summer School, a series where we're bringing back conversations that still have something important to teach us. This episode with Brené Brown was originally recorded more
Your Imperfection Is the Advantage
Hey friends, Chase here We are living in a moment where perfect is cheaper than ever. A few words into a prompt can generate an image. A template can make your brand look polished. A filter can smooth the rough edges. An AI tool can help you produce something slick, flattering, and technically impressive in seconds. On the surface, that sounds like creative abundance. But there is a catch. When ev
Jeff Boyd: Why Hard Things Are the Opportunity
Hey friends, Chase here Jeff Boyd is on the show today, and this conversation is about building the kind of life and business that does not always look like the predominant story on the internet. Jeff is the founder and chairman of MTE, More Than Energy, which he describes in this episode as "an energy that loves you back." Before that, he spent 15 years as the President and co-owner of Luggage Fr
Bet On Yourself
Hey friends, Chase here There is a particular kind of silence that can change the direction of a life. Not the peaceful kind. Not the silence you seek out when you need space to think. I mean the silence that lands in the room right after you say something true. The silence after you tell people what you really want. The silence after you say, out loud, that you are thinking about leaving the safe
Eric Zimmer: How A Little Becomes A Lot
Hey friends, Chase here Eric Zimmer is on the show today, and this conversation is exactly the kind of reminder we all need when we are trying to change something real. You probably know Eric from The One You Feed, his award-winning podcast about wisdom, behavior change, mental health, spirituality, and what it means to live well. But Eric's new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small C
Austin Kleon: Don't Call It Art
Hey friends, Chase here Austin Kleon is back on the show, and this conversation is exactly the kind of reminder every creative person needs. You probably know Austin from Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work!, and Keep Going, the books that have helped millions of people rethink creativity, sharing, influence, originality, and what it actually means to make things in public. But Austin's new book,
Eric Ries: How to Build Something Success Can't Corrupt
Hey friends, Chase here Eric Ries is back on the show, and this conversation goes far beyond startups, venture capital, or the mechanics of building a company. You probably know Eric as the author of The Lean Startup, the book that changed how founders, creators, entrepreneurs, and teams think about building something new. His work helped popularize ideas like continuous innovation, validated lear
Play It As It Lies
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about golf. And before you check out because you're not a golfer, hang with me for a minute — because this episode isn't really about golf. It's about life. It's about what happens when things don't go according to plan. When the ball lands somewhere ugly. When you're stuck behind a tree, buried in the sand, sitting in a divot, or staring down a shot you didn't w
You Don't Need More Hustle. You Need More Capacity.
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about hustle. Not the old-school definition of hustle — as in working hard, caring deeply, staying committed, and doing the reps. That kind of effort still matters. It always will. I'm talking about what hustle has become. The kind of hustle that glorifies exhaustion. The kind that mistakes motion for progress. The kind that tells you if you're not burning the ca
How to Find Your Creative Voice
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about one of the most important questions every creator eventually asks: How do I find my creative voice? Or maybe you've heard it framed another way: How do I develop a personal style? How do I make work that actually feels like mine? How do I stop copying what everyone else is doing and start creating from a place that is uniquely my own? This question comes up
Stop Asking Permission to Create Your Life
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about reality. Not the abstract, philosophical version. Not the version you argue about over coffee or read about in some dusty book. I mean the reality you wake up inside every day. The job. The schedule. The obligations. The story you tell yourself about what is "practical." The version of your life that everyone around you seems to agree is reasonable. And the
Don't Wait for Inspiration
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that gets romanticized way too much in the creative world: inspiration. We've been taught to wait for it. To trust it. To believe that the best work comes when lightning strikes, when the muse shows up, when the feeling is right. And while inspiration is real — and beautiful when it arrives — it's also wildly unreliable. That's the trap. If you bu
The Hidden Cost of Overplanning
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that looks responsible on the surface — but quietly steals momentum from your life underneath it. I'm talking about overplanning. Not thoughtful preparation. Not healthy strategy. I mean the kind of planning that masquerades as progress. The kind that lets you feel productive without actually moving. The kind that sounds smart, looks disciplined,
Are You Climbing the Wrong Mountain?
Hey friends, Chase here. I want to talk about something that might be uncomfortable — but if you're willing to really look at it, it can change everything. What if you're working incredibly hard… at the wrong thing? This is one of the scariest patterns I've seen — not just in the creators I coach, but in my own life. People are climbing. Grinding. Achieving. But they're climbing a mountain that is
Talent Is a Lie (Here's What Actually Matters)
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that quietly holds a lot of people back — something we've been taught to believe for most of our lives: Talent. The idea that some people are just born with "it." The gift. The spark. The thing that makes them exceptional. And if you don't have it? Well… maybe you just weren't meant for this. Let me be clear: That idea is mostly a lie. Not because
Perfect Is Dead: Why Your Flaws Are Your Creative Advantage
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that might feel uncomfortable at first — especially if you've spent years trying to get better, sharper, more polished, more "professional." Perfection is dead. Not metaphorically. Not eventually. I mean right now. And if you're paying attention to what's happening in the creative world — especially in an era of AI, automation, and endless content
You Don't Need Everyone
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that quietly holds a lot of creators back — the belief that your work needs to resonate with everyone. It feels natural. We're wired for connection. We want to be seen, appreciated, recognized. That's human. But when that instinct starts driving your creative decisions, it can pull you further and further away from the very thing that makes your w
Why Hearing "No" Is Part of the Creative Path
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something every creator experiences — but almost nobody talks about openly. Rejection. If you're pursuing anything creative — photography, writing, design, building a business, launching a project — you already know the truth: you hear a lot more no than you hear yes. But here's the twist. Most people think rejection is the signal to stop. In reality, rejec
Craft Is the Entry Fee
Hey friends, Chase here If you're a creator who's ever wondered why someone with "less talent" seems to get more opportunities… this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: being great at your craft is only the price of admission. It gets you in the door. But what happens after that? That's where your career is made. In today's micro-show — Craft Is the Entry Fee — I'm talking about the thin
Designed, Not Discovered
Hey friends, Chase here There's a myth that quietly messes with a lot of us — especially if you're a maker, builder, or artist. It's the myth that creative fulfillment is something you find. That if you just get lucky enough… brave enough… talented enough… you'll stumble into "the thing" and everything will click. But here's what I want to remind you today: Your path isn't discovered. It's designe
The Messy Middle Is the Point
Every creative journey starts the same way. Excitement. Possibility. Momentum. And then — somewhere between the spark and the breakthrough — it gets hard. The novelty fades. The results slow down. Doubt gets louder. And that's when most of us go looking for certainty. Better gear. Better tactics. The "right" answers. But what if the discomfort isn't a sign you're off track? What if it's proof you'
The Cost of Playing It Safe
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on a truth most of us spend years trying to outgrow: playing it safe has a cost. Not just a financial cost. Not just an "I didn't take the leap" cost. I'm talking about the hidden cost — the slow trade of your originality for approval, your curiosity for compliance, your honest voice for whatever feels least risky. A lot of
Build the Next Chapter Before You're Paid
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that quietly changes everything once you see it: You don't get paid first for the work you want to do next. You build it first. Most people wait for permission. They wait for a client, an investor, or an opportunity to show up before they start creating. But in my experience, it works the other way around. The nex
You Can't Think Your Way Forward
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that runs counter to how most of us try to solve creative problems. When we feel stuck, uncertain, or restless, our instinct is usually to think harder. To analyze. To wait for clarity. But here's the truth I've learned the hard way: you can't think your way forward. Clarity doesn't come from sitting on the couch
You Are Your Habits
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
Important, Not Urgent
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 sim
Rest Is a Skill
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 ge
What Actually Makes a Great Friend
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 beca
The Most Important Creative Tools Are Free
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 acr
Stop Shipping at 95%
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
Love Your Work or Don't Ship It
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 clari
Don't Rush the New Year: 7 Steps to Prepare Mindfully
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
Mindset. Skillset. And the Hard Stuff You're Avoiding.
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 "ge
The Other 50% No One Told You About
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
Charge More. You're Worth It.
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 i
Stop Planning. Start Doing.
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 litt
Brené Brown Revisited: The Courage to Belong in a Divided World
In 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
Stop Curating. Start Creating.
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 Tr
The Creative Edge Isn't Vanishing — It's Moving.
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
Mel Robbins Revisited: From The High 5 Habit to The Let Them Theory
In this week's episode, we're revisiting a powerful conversation that aired back in 2021 — one that's just as relevant today as it was then. Mel Robbins has continued to inspire millions with her practical, science-backed approach to behavior change and personal growth. Since our last chat, she's released a brand-new bestseller, The Let Them Theory, which builds beautifully on the ideas we explore
The Antidote to Burnout Isn't Rest — It's Play
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 E
The Most Important Question You're Probably Not Asking: How Much Is Enough?
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 event
Social Media as a Stage, Not a Sofa
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
Don't Trade Your Dreams for Security
Hey friends, Chase here. If you're feeling anxious about money right now, you're not alone. Shrinking budgets, AI headlines, and general chaos have a lot of us questioning our value. The default move? Grab the nearest paycheck. But here's the truth: trading your dreams for short-term security is the fastest way to kill the life you actually want. Don't trade your dreams for security. Paying the bi
AI Doesn't Create the Work. You Do.
Hey friends, Chase here. I'm writing this from the beach, staring at the ocean, and I've got one big reminder for you today: You are your future. Sure, AI is everywhere. New tools pop up daily. You've probably seen the tweets: "Anyone can type a prompt and become a world-class designer, writer, photographer." Sounds nice. But let's be real—that's not how this works. You make the work. Not the too

Beyond the Hype: The Truth About Creativity in the AI Era
Hey friends, Chase here. If AI has you wondering whether your work will still matter—you're not alone. The pace of change is dizzying. New tools drop daily. "Good enough" work is getting automated before you can even refresh your feed. But here's the good news: This is not the end. It's the beginning—if you choose it. The future belongs to those who lean into what machines can't replicate: your ta
Think AI Is the End of Your Creativity? Here's Why It's Actually Your Opening
Hey friends, Chase here. If AI has you wondering whether your work will still matter—you're not alone. The pace of change is dizzying. New tools drop daily. "Good enough" work is getting automated before you can even refresh your feed. But here's the good news: This is not the end. It's the beginning—if you choose it. The future belongs to those who lean into what machines can't replicate: your ta
Are You Chasing Scale or Purpose? Here's Why It Matters More Than Ever
In this episode, Ben Uyeda shares how chasing purpose instead of scale can transform your creative career — and your life. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force who left behind a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design concepts to the masses through media. His free, widely shared designs have reached over 50 million people and are being built
Will Your Work Still Matter When Everyone Else Is Using AI to Create?
Hey 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
Stop Drifting Through Life and Start Building What Matters Most
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like life's just… happening to you? You wake up, check your phone, go through the motions. Weeks blur into months. You're busy but not fulfilled. Productive but not progressing. Here's the hard truth: If you're not intentional about what you're building, you'll drift. And drift leads to regret. But here's the good news: You can choose to stop drifting—today. You
What If There's No Rulebook? Here's How to Write the One You Need
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like you're waiting for someone to hand you the map? You know—the step-by-step plan for building a creative life you actually want. The rules for how to get unstuck. The playbook for doing meaningful work without burning out or selling out. Here's the truth: That rulebook doesn't exist. No one's coming to hand it to you. Not your boss. Not a guru. Not even me. An
Struggling to Improve? This Could Be Why Your Practice Isn't Paying Off Yet
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like you're working your ass off but not really getting anywhere? You're putting in the hours. Practicing. Grinding. But the needle isn't moving. Here's the truth: The best in the world aren't just clocking more time—they're practicing differently. They're ruthless about the basics. They've fallen in love with the process. And most importantly? They've built thei
You've Been Focused on the Wrong Thing... Here's What Really Matters

What If Social Media Was the Best Way to Learn New Creative Skills?
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever scroll through social media and feel like you're falling behind? You see someone crushing it—their work looks flawless, their videos are sharp, their life seems effortless. And then that voice creeps in: "I'm not doing enough." "I'll never catch up." Yeah. That feeling? That's comparison doing its thing. But what if I told you the scroll doesn't have to suck the life
What Most People Get Wrong About Failing Fast
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like failure means you're broken? You messed up. You launched something and it flopped. Maybe you put your heart on the line and it didn't go your way. That sting? It's real. No quote on Instagram is going to make it magically go away. But here's the truth: Failure isn't the opposite of progress. It's part of it. We live in a world that either glamorizes failure
This moment is everything. Here's how to stop missing it.
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like life is happening somewhere else? You're in the room, but your mind's a thousand miles away—replaying something you said, stressing about what's next. It's normal. It's human. But it's also how we miss the best parts of life. The past is over. The future isn't real yet. All we ever really have is right now. It took an avalanche—yes, a literal one—for me to f
Your Attention Is Being Stolen. Here's How to Get It Back.
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like your mind is all over the place? Emails. Notifications. News. Noise. We live in a world designed to hijack our attention, and it's working. Attention Is a Superpower In a world this noisy, your ability to focus isn't just helpful. It's everything. Viktor Frankl found purpose in the darkest of places by choosing where to direct his mind.

How Taking More Risks Can Unlock the Life You Actually Want

Feeling Stuck in Serious Mode? Here's How to Flip the Script with Play
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like you're taking life a little too seriously? Wake up. Work. Hustle. Repeat. Somewhere along the way, we stopped playing—and started grinding through our days like machines. Why We Get Stuck in Serious Mode We were taught that being serious means being responsible. That fun is a distraction. That joy is something we earn. But let's be real—seriousness without j
How Sharing Your Work Can Change Lives Including Your Own
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, whe
How to Reconnect With the Intuition You've Been Taught to Ignore
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever get a gut feeling—but second-guess it because it doesn't "make sense"? You're not alone. From a young age, we're taught to value logic over instinct. To follow the rules. To ignore the quiet signals coming from within. But science shows that your body—especially your gut—is constantly processing more than your conscious mind ever could. That inner knowing? It's real.
Stop Hiding Behind 'Not Ready' and Learn How to Begin Anyway
In this episode, Debbie Millman shares how to begin—even when you feel unready, unqualified, or full of doubt. Debbie is a designer, author, educator, and host of the pioneering podcast Design Matters.

What If Play Is Actually the Most Important Work You'll Ever Do?
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like your life is all work and no you? Emails. Deadlines. Chores. Repeat. Somewhere along the way, we traded play for productivity—and we've been tired ever since. Why We Forget to Play From a young age, we're taught that play comes after the work is done. But here's the catch: the work never ends. So we keep pushing joy to the sidelines. Play Isn't a Luxury—It's
What If Your Hardest Climb Is Within?
In this episode, Melissa Arnot Reid shares what it really takes to climb—not just the highest peaks on Earth, but the deepest valleys within ourselves.

Overwhelmed by Doubt? Here's How to Quiet the Noise and Trust Yourself
Hey friends, Chase here. Ever had that gut feeling nudging you toward something bigger—only for fear to barge in with doubts? "What if I fail?" "What if this is the wrong move?" "What will people think?" I've been there. When I walked away from the U.S. Olympic Development soccer program to pursue photography, people told me I was crazy. And honestly? I wondered if they were right. But there was
