The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

Regret is an unavoidable aspect of the human condition. No matter how your life plays out, there will be situations that don't go your way, things you wish you would have done, words left unspoken, etc. We are also culturally conditioned to think of regret as a negative thing. We are reminded to always focus on the positive, push negative thoughts away from our memory and only focus on moving forward. But when used correctly, regret can play a pivotal role in our ability to move forward, to problem solve, and make informed decisions. Daniel Pink has written seven books, five of which are New York Times bestsellers. He was a host and a co-executive producer of the 2014 National Geographic Channel social science TV series, "Crowd Control," and from 1995 to 1997, he was the chief speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore. Today on the podcast, he joins me for a conversation about his most recent book, "The Power of Regret; How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward." Highlights from the conversation: The biggest regrets come from inaction, rather than trying something that didn't ultimately work out. Discomfort can lead to clarification and growth. Regret can help make better decisions. Avoiding inherent biases Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

Have you ever found yourself in a creative rut? How did you get out of it? And if you're in one right now, what tools can you use to create change? I recently received a question via the text community (206-309-5177) from a creator named Alex, asking about overcoming hard days. In lieu of May being mental health month, I wanted to share a few thoughts based on what's worked for me, with the hope to bring some value to you. Here is the question from Alex: "Hey, Chase. I generally do a really good job of taking care of my mental health. I use tools like positive self-talk, meditation, exercise, or even just call friends when I'm feeling down or discouraged. But sometimes we have really tough days. So I'd love to know how you handle the really tough days. Do you have any advice on weathering some of the deeper challenges we face as creators?"

Is it always the best decision to trust your gut? When it's time to make a simple decision, (where to eat, what car to buy, where to go on vacation) we rely on resources and data at our disposal. We check reviews, compare ratings, and ultimately decide based on available data. So why does it often feel like we're winging it when it comes to bigger life decisions? Am I happy? Am I working on the right things? Is my career on the right path? What would our lives look like if we took a data driven approach to some of life's bigger questions? Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is an author, data scientist, and speaker who studies what we can learn about people from new, internet data sources. In this episode, Seth discusses why you don't need to wing it as much as you think you have to. Seth's call to action is to observe the data that is readily available to you. Use them as guide posts. If we consider the collective experience of others in our own decision making, we start to understand ourselves on a deeper level; and that is a powerful place to make decisions from. Seth's Book, "Don't Trust Your Gut" is available now. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

Mike Tyson once said, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." What do you do when a brilliant idea hits you unexpectedly? We all know the feeling- that little creative jolt of inspiration… but it's not always convenient to drop what you're doing and immediately begin working on this fantastic new idea. And even if you could, would you want to rely on inspiration to strike in order to take action? Creative distractions are the easiest way to break away from creative work sessions. In today's episode, we're discussing how to make space for them without impacting the work that needs to be done.

"It really starts with just saying I am going to bet on myself… no one else is going to bet on you if you don't." Lisa Bilyeu spent 8 years of her life as a supportive housewife (which she described as "mundane purgatory") until her husband's fast growing company, Quest Nutrition, required her to dive head first into business. Energized by her work, she started giving herself permission to make small moves in another direction. These decisions ultimately led Lisa to become co-founder of a billion-dollar company, an international leader in the world of personal growth and now, author empowering women to become the heroes of their own lives. Lisa has written her first book, Radical Confidence: 10 No-BS Lessons on Becoming the Hero of Your Own Life, being released this week. In this show, we discuss her life, her book and how she did it: how she transformed her life from housewife to successful businesswoman and what it took to get there.

Accidental flashes, chance encounters, lucky breaks. We love to believe that creativity happens in a moment of inspiration. We think the greatest discoveries in history were experienced in a flash of thought, or a jolt, like hitting a pinball machine's tilt button. But did you know that behind the 'matter of luck' phenomena, too, lie precious times of planning and persistence? In today's micro show, we break down planning your creative session effectively, so you can move past any creative roadblocks without waiting for 'luck' to show up.

Have you ever asked yourself how your relationships influence your creativity or the pursuit of your dreams? Or the inverse, how how being a creator impacts the relationships in your life? Taking into account the time and energy required to run a business or pursue dreams with a two year inversion of normality, it makes sense that some friends and family don't always see the best version of us. In this episode, we explore how our relationships impact our creativity and visa versa and what more we can do to cultivate human connection. A few notes from the show: Where to start? Self awareness. Your ability to read the room and understand your role in whatever social scenario you find yourself is a skill that can be honed and improved. Who's judgement really matters? Brené Brown keeps a 1x1 inch square piece of paper with a list of the few people who she truly respects their opinions. Rather than get distracted by the criticisms and praise of strangers, focusing on being the best version of yourself to the people who matter most will guide your actions wisely. Family isn't everything. Often we feel obliged to cater to the vision our family members have for our one precious life. This is a huge point of contention for many people, and if this strikes a cord with you, I encourage you to have an honest dialogue about why you are passionate about the path you're on. At the end of the day, you are the only one who should be directing the path of your one precious life. Human connection plays a direct role in how you show up in the world, and the way in which you pursue your dreams. This week, take some time to evaluate how your relationships impact your creativity, productivity and mental state.
