The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

In 2010, Brandon Stanton started taking pictures of people on the streets of New York City and posting them on a blog. After thousands of conversations and pictures, Brandon realized he wasn't a photographer. Rather, he was a believer in connection, in community, and in basic human sweetness. In large part, Brandon's work has been so influential because he removed himself from the equation and allowed the communities he documents to speak for themselves. Brandon's blog Humans of New York has accumulated over 20 million followers worldwide and turned into two NYT-bestselling books (Humans of New York and Humans of New York: Stories). It has also spawned an entire genre of similar blogs. Hundreds of aspiring documentarians have followed in HONY's footsteps, telling the stories of countries, cities, and communities across the world. Brandon is also a dedicated philanthropist. He has spearheaded crowdfunded initiatives that have raised over $2 million for causes including victims of Hurricane Sandy and a scholarship fund for students in Brooklyn. Of course Brandon and I discuss his backstory. How he came to start Humans of New York and how it's evolved, but we also: * go a layer deeper around his philosophy in sharing the work. He says "the more I disappear, the more influential HONY becomes. * talk about growing and cultivating an audience * following dreams is hard work and much much more. Enjoy!

At the age of just 24, Lewis Howes found his pro football career abruptly ended by injury. He collapsed into a depression, paralyzed by fear and overwhelmed by the prospect of rebooting literally his entire life (with no money, no degree, and nothing to fall back on). But unwilling to accept defeat, he broke the massive challenge of reinventing himself into a series of smaller, manageable goals that he took on way by one. It started with simply getting his butt off the couch, and ended with where he is today— one of the leading voices in the new generation of lifestyle entrepreneurs, bestselling author and host of the wildly popular School Of Greatness podcast. Join Lewis for an inspiring and motivating conversation about how to push yourself out of a funk, dream big, and use the power of goal setting to achieve things you once thought impossible. In our talk we discuss: * dealing with adversity using it propel you * giving yourself challenge and a deadline achieve your goals * Creating structure around your day to boost creativity ... and much much more.

How many times have you told yourself "I know I should _____, but [insert excuse here]"? And how much progress would you have made toward your goals if you were able to silence that voice and get rid of the excuses that keep you from putting in the work that you know you should? If you're like most of us, you'd rather not answer those questions— but as you'll learn from this great conversation with Ramit Sethi, the answer is simple: change your habits, and you'll change your life. In our talk we discuss: * what separates the best from those who want to get rich quick: patience, discipline, and sacrifice * be more comfortable saying no and focus on a couple things you can be great at * carving out weekly time in the schedule to think big. think strategy. * and Ramit confesses something that few other legends of his stature will confess… namely about how he might only have 1-2 big ideas per year, but you need to go through the mess to get to those gems ... and much much more.

Jared Leto is one of the most accomplished and versatile creators of his generation. He's an Oscar-winner actor with two decades of film and television roles under his belt, quietly amassing a list of critically acclaimed appearances in films like Fight Club, Requiem For A Dream, Dallas Buyers Club and Suicide Squad among many others. His band Thirty Seconds To Mars has been in action since 1998 and sold over 15 million albums worldwide, and he's directed several of their videos including the MTV VMA-winning video for "The Kill." In this episode, we talk about one of my favorite topics, namely that we are all becoming "hyphens." We're no longer just a photographer, or just an actor and it's never a better time to independently create + distribute. Enjoy!

Everybody has a calling. If you open your eyes, there's a maker instinct in you. For Sir Mix-A-Lot, creativity manifested in the form of rabid love for music in general and for hip-hop in particular. Cobbling together an immortal career first out of cast-off electronics and then out of platinum records, Mix was never concerned with success when he started out. He simply kept doing what he felt called to do - make music that gets people dancing - until he found himself in the midst of a profitable business. In our talk we discuss: * the early days * How to stay hungry over a long career * Necessity breeds creativity * He's a self-described tinkerer. And I mean, reading schematics, writing the code, and get out the soldering iron tinkerer. I guarantee, this is a side of Sir Mix A Lot you won't see in the music videos. Enjoy!
