In 'Creative Calling', Chase Jarvis emphasizes the importance of creativity as a habit available to everyone, regardless of their profession or background. The book introduces the 'IDEA' system: Imagine your big dream, Design a daily practice to support it, Execute on your plans, and Amplify your impact through a supportive community. Jarvis encourages readers to start small, making creativity a part of their daily lives, and argues that this practice can lead to greater direction, agency, and happiness in life.
In 'Never Play It Safe,' Chase Jarvis argues that safety is an illusion that holds us back from true fulfillment and extraordinary success. The book is structured around seven core 'levers': attention, time, intuition, constraints, play, failure, and practice. Jarvis draws from his own transformative experiences and insights from top entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and performers to help readers break free from the comfort of playing it safe. He provides practical techniques to train attention, unlock potential, and achieve a life filled with freedom, creativity, and fulfillment.
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 out of you?
What if it could do the opposite?
Here’s the truth:
Social media is one of the most powerful learning tools on the planet—if you use it right.
Not for validation. Not for endless distraction. But as a living library of creative technique, storytelling, and craft.
The trick? You’ve gotta stop watching like a fan—and start studying like a student.
See a photo that grabs you? A reel that feels electric? A post that hits hard? Instead of asking “Why not me?”—ask “How’d they do that?”
Break it down. Steal the structure. Take notes. Try your own spin.
It’s not about copying. It’s about collecting ideas. About seeing what works and remixing it with your own flavor.
I call it the
DEAR Method:
- Deconstruct what caught your eye
- Emulate the parts that resonate
- Analyze what works when you apply it
- Repeat the stuff that sticks
It’s a creative cheat code hiding in plain sight.
So yeah—social media can mess with your head. But it can also level up your skills if you stop letting it run the show.
Turn the scroll into study. Flip envy into energy. Let the work you admire teach you something real.
Because guess what? You’re not behind.
You’re just one honest rep away from getting better.
Until next time—stay curious, and keep creating.
