The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

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 cou...

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 like it’s some kind of badge of hon...

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 fully understand this. In those few ...

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.

In this episode, I share how not playing it safe can be the most powerful decision you make—for your creativity, your career, and your life. I open up about scrapping a nearly finished book to write something bolder and truer, and why embracing discomfort is the path to fulfillment and impact.

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 joy just leads to burnout.

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.

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. And it’s powerful.

Why We Lose ...

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.

We talk about the creative risks Debbie took later in life, why fear and shame shaped her early path, and ...

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 a Lifeline

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. Melissa is a world-renowned mountaineer, professional mountain guide, and the first American woman to summit Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. She has spent years guiding others to the top of the world...

In this episode, Jenny Wood shares how to overcome fear and take bold action.

Jenny spent 18 years rising from entry-level to executive at Google, where she founded one of the company’s largest career programs. Now, she’s the author of Wild Courage, a book that flips the script on success by reclaiming nine so-called “negative” traits—like being reckless, nosy, or shameless—and showing how they can fuel massive growth.

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 another voice—quieter, bu...

Hey friends, Chase here.

Ever had that gut feeling—the one whispering that you’re meant for something more? Maybe it nudged you toward a bold move, a creative dream, or a life change you couldn’t quite explain. But then, almost immediately, fear kicked in.

“That’s risky.”
“What if I fail?”
“What will people think?”

Here’s the truth: Your gut is rarely wrong. Fear, on the other hand, is loud, irrational, and loves to keep you small.

Hey friends, Chase here. Ever notice how the world tries to box you in? It wants you to be one thing—safe, predictable, realistic. From a young age, we’re told to pick a career, stick with it, and not get too ambitious. But that’s just people projecting their own fears.

I’m here to tell you: You don’t have to choose just one thing. You can build a multi-faceted life—just not all at once. Mastery is the key. When you go all-in on on...

Hey friends, Chase here. Today, I want to talk about something we all face at some point—the moment when what once felt like a dream becomes a trap. It’s a tough place to be, but if we can recognize it early, we can turn it into an opportunity for growth and reinvention.
