The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

At a certain point in our careers, there are no more promotions to seek. No more pay raises to demand. No more competition to be had.... At the peak of our careers, a sense of achievement can be offset by the sheer terror of falling down to the bottom again. For over thirty years, Debbie Millman established herself as a creative leader, on her own terms. Designer. Educator. Artist. Brand Consultant. Podcast Host. But unlike many others, Debbie did not just invent a brand. She focused on building character, creating a great reputation, and ultimately mastering her craft. The iconic host of one of the world's longest-running podcasts, Design Matters, joins me in this episode to share the ups and downs of her incredible journey, the lessons learned, roles played, and her plans for the future. If you don't know yet, Debbie is also the author of six books, including two collections of interviews that have extended the ethos and editorial vision of Design Matters to the printed page: How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer and Brand Thinking and Other Noble Pursuits. She has an upcoming book based majorly on her podcast Design Matters, called Why Design Matters. Highlights of our conversation: Finding out what you truly love to do How speaking publicly about childhood trauma on Tim Ferriss' podcast shifted her healing process forward Why we become more intentional about our time as we grow older Debbie shares one of the most profound pieces of advice from an interview guest she's ever talked to, David Lee Roth (When you're on the top, there's only one way to go). Debbie shares why how her success came as a result of self-loathing and over-achieving as a young person Why is it more important to evolve as a person than as a brand? What's the difference? Enjoy!

"It's easier to poke holes in an idea than think of ways to fill them. And it's easier to focus on the 100 reasons you shouldn't do something rather than the one reason you should." - Wendy Kopp, Founder of Teach for All Good ideas are a dime a dozen. So what separates the ideas that stay on the shelf from the ones that succeed? That's the topic we explore in this quick episode. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Enjoy! Have a question?

The ongoing pandemic is creating a time of rapid transition. It's as if we're waking up from a deep slumber, and as we do so, we're re-examining every aspect of life-- especially our livelihoods and the work we do in the world. If you're someone who's dug up the internet to find ways to rediscover your impulse, you would've infallibly come across Jonathan Fields and his work with unique imprints or Sparketypes®️.

In addition to writing award-winning and bestselling books like his upcoming, Sparked: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work that Makes You Come Alive, How to Live a Good Life, and Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt Into Fuel For Brilliance, Jonathan has founded several companies with a focus on maximizing human potential. In today's episode, Jonathan joins me to unfold the 10 different Sparketypes we all come under, the significance of our Primary, Shadow and Anti-Sparketypes, and how these help you get attuned to doing what makes you feel alive. Jonathan also talks about his transformative journey leaving his six-figure job as a lawyer to pursue his dream, and about his achievements and insights out of the Good Life Project. Highlights from our conversation: How to identify the deeper impulse inside of you that wakes you up in the morning and gives you the feeling of coming alive About the field-tested and inimitably accurate Sparketype 2.0 assessment and how to make the best out of it How to reimagine, rework, and reinvent the things you're already doing so you don't have to go through a massive disruption to get to where you want to be The action steps to pursuing a life of your calling - discover your imprint, try not to make disruptive changes while you begin (unless, of course, you're in a toxic environment), see where your impulse lines up and where it does not, and find out how you can apply it to existing or any new work that you can take up.

There's a common mis understanding about the phrase, "If you build it, they will come." A classic quote from Field of Dreams, but an often-deceiving belief we have as creators. Trust in the universe and belief in yourself are paramount, but do you really want to leave it up to chance? Today's episode includes three tactics for strategically getting your work seen. If you haven't already, check out CJ RAW episode, The Other 50 Pct. We recap that concept briefly and then talk about how to amplify the stuff you're putting out into the universe. A few questions to get you going before the show: How are you participating in your community? Are you adding value to those around you? What does patience do to your creative longevity? Who are you creating for? How do you manage your time on social? Are you blocking out time and engaging strategically? Feeling like you're yelling into the wind doesn't mean your work isn't good. So keep building, but don't leave it up to chance. Enjoy! Have a question? Text me 1-206-309-5177 Tweet me @chasejarvis --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

Making headlines back in 2016, a video recording of Jason Wilson's student's martial arts test went viral on social media. In the video, young Bruce is overwhelmed with fear of failure. Jason teaches him to embrace his emotion and overcome the challenge. Jason is the founder and head instructor of the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy (CATTA) and Yunion (pronounced union), a non-profit youth development organization in Detroit, Michigan. He has written two books on emotional vulnerability in men, Cry Like A Man and Breaking Through Emotional Barriers: The Four F's To Emotional Freedom. His upcoming release, Battle Cry: Waging and Winning the War Within, teaches us to redefine masculinity to create a fitting world where gender-based stereotyping is no longer existent. Jason is also an expert in Emotional Stability Training® and has garnered CATTA numerous acknowledgements and awards for his work teaching males how to confront and conquer their negative emotions with composure. Today, we talk about emotional incarceration in men and why we need to break any misleading mantras that demand men be tough all the time. Jason shares a framework for releasing emotional trauma, the precursors to stress and anxiety, and how to free yourself of living in fear. Some other things we talk about: What board breaking in martial arts signifies - overcoming the emotional barriers in our lives Jason says, "When you allow a man to become whole or comprehensive, instead of just living life as a masculine male, he becomes more aware of the wrongs and the rights that he flicked on the women in his life." Hence, it's essential to teach the men in our lives that it's okay to cry, to express, to feel so they learn to treat women the way they're supposed to. Jason's concept of 4Rs - Release, Reflect, Reset, and Rest. Understanding trauma and why it's important to release it Stop living from fear or societal expectations; live from the good in your heart.

Life gets easier when you decide to play your own game. From an early age, we are taught through school that life is a game to win against our peers. Value and success are determined on a uniform scale regardless of an individual's background or strengths. This perspective teaches us that the only way to stand out is to be better at the same task that everyone else around you is doing. This episode is a reminder that it's not always about being better, but rather, being different.

Uncreated works of personal expression are at the top of everybody's bucket list. Yet, how is it that the most important goals we have are commonly left unchecked when we kick the bucket?

Today we dive into 4 ways you can overcome your creative hurdles. Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all formula. Trial and error are expected.

Recently a couple of friends recommended some Peloton classes by Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts. Within a couple weeks I stumbled across her work and wanted to learn more. Chelsea is a former elementary school teacher turned Peloton instructor. From a young age, Chelsea always knew she would teach in some form.

In this episode, we explore Chelsea's unique non-traditional path from Elementary School, to yoga, to discovering a deeper sense of self and being, all the way to sharing yoga and meditations on a global stage. Some topics we get into: Some of key mindset changes that helped her navigate challenges such as personal tragedy, over achieving, and simply just finding more moment of quiet and rest Being a life-life learning and student How to find the balance between ease and effort The superpower of the introvert and so much more Enjoy!
