The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

In this week’s episode, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation that aired back in 2021 — one that’s just as relevant today as it was then. Mel Robbins has continued to inspire millions with her practical, science-backed approach to behavior change and personal growth. Since our last chat, she’s released a brand-new bestseller, The Let Them Theory, which builds beautifully on the ideas we explored together in this earlier episode.

Hey friends, Chase here.

I’m writing you today from the south of France, where I’ve been taking a little breather before a busy fall. This episode is a reflection on some of the most popular questions that came up around the launch of Never Play It Safe. In the particular lies the universal — and the questions from our community reflect challenges so many of us face.

Hey friends, Chase here.

At the height of my career—awards, startups, celebrity collabs—my wife stopped me cold with one question: “How much is enough?”
I didn’t have an answer. From the outside, life looked perfect. But inside, I was chasing “more” without knowing why.

The Illusion of More

The culture around us says: keep climbing, keep grinding, keep stacking. But more for the sake of more eventually costs you—y...

Hey friends, Chase here.

If social media feels heavier than it used to, you’re not imagining it. Infinite feeds, algorithm whiplash, and the pressure to post “one more thing” can drain the very creativity we’re trying to share. Here’s the shift: treat social media like a stage you step onto with intent—not a sofa you collapse into by default.

Social Media as a Stage, Not a Sofa

A stage has purpose: you arrive prep...

Hey friends, Chase here.

If you’re feeling anxious about money right now, you’re not alone. Shrinking budgets, AI headlines, and general chaos have a lot of us questioning our value. The default move? Grab the nearest paycheck. But here’s the truth: trading your dreams for short-term security is the fastest way to kill the life you actually want.

Don’t trade your dreams for security.

Paying the bills matters—we’ve...

Hey friends, Chase here.

I’m writing this from the beach, staring at the ocean, and I’ve got one big reminder for you today: You are your future.

Sure, AI is everywhere. New tools pop up daily. You’ve probably seen the tweets: “Anyone can type a prompt and become a world-class designer, writer, photographer.” Sounds nice. But let’s be real—that’s not how this works.

You make the work. Not the tools.

AI is powerfu...

Hey friends, Chase here.

If AI has you wondering whether your work will still matter—you’re not alone. The pace of change is dizzying. New tools drop daily. “Good enough” work is getting automated before you can even refresh your feed.
But here’s the good news:
This is not the end. It’s the beginning—if you choose it. The future belongs to those who lean into what machines can’t replicate: your taste, your story, your weir...

Hey friends, Chase here.

Will your work still matter when everyone else is using AI to create?

It’s a real question. And let’s be honest—it’s one a lot of us are quietly asking.

Every day, new tools drop that make it easier (and faster) to generate content, art, writing, music—you name it. The machines are learning. Fast.

So where does that leave you?

If you’re a creator, this moment isn’t the end. It’s the beginning—if yo...

Hey friends, Chase here.

Ever feel like life’s just… happening to you?

You wake up, check your phone, go through the motions. Weeks blur into months. You’re busy but not fulfilled. Productive but not progressing.

Here’s the hard truth:

If you’re not intentional about what you’re building, you’ll drift.

And drift leads to regret.

But here’s the good news:
You can choose to stop drifting—today. You can start building what ac...

Hey friends, Chase here.

Ever feel like you’re waiting for someone to hand you the map?

You know—the step-by-step plan for building a creative life you actually want. The rules for how to get unstuck. The playbook for doing meaningful work without burning out or selling out.

Here’s the truth:

That rulebook doesn’t exist.

No one’s coming to hand it to you. Not your boss. Not a guru. Not even me. And honestly? That’...

Hey friends, Chase here.

Ever feel like you’re working your ass off but not really getting anywhere?

You’re putting in the hours. Practicing. Grinding. But the needle isn’t moving.

Here’s the truth:

The best in the world aren’t just clocking more time—they’re practicing differently.

They’re ruthless about the basics. They’ve fallen in love with the process. And most importantly? They’ve built their identity around...

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.
