We often start out thinking if we can just do the "right" work, we'll break through. When in fact, it's not the what work we should focus on, but how much. Here's your little boost for the day to remind you to block out the noise, recognize our own procrastination, and zero in on what matters: Volume. Enjoy!

Ryan Holiday is the author of numerous New York Times best-selling books and one of the most philosophical people of this generation. He is often described as a modern stoic and has re-popularized the concept of stoicism in today's society. Today on the show, we're digging into the topic of Ryan's newest book, Discipline is Destiny. When we hear the word discipline, we often picture military-like structure and extreme commitment to a task. But don't confuse the idea of discipline with the concept of being completely consumed by your art. Discipline is not about being hyper-focused; it is about keeping a balance. True discipline is a wholistic concept that stretches across every area of our lives: from our creative process to our physical health, our relationships and our emotional well-being. There are also different forms of discipline, some that come from the self and others that rely on those around us. My wife has been one of the most valuable key players in my discipline, by holding me accountable to keeping a balance in my life. Without her reminders, it would be easy for me to neglect other areas of my life that I need to keep healthy. We need both. The internal motivators for discipline as well as the external. The key is to dig down to your core and find what truly motivates you. What is the "why" to what you are doing with your life, with your art? Once you've established the key motivators for you, the structures of "what" you need to do to reach your goals have that much more strength behind them. The "how" you will do it comes down to discipline. How are the things that motivate you going to keep you disciplined to do what you need to do? And who are the people around you that will hold you accountable beyond yourself? It could be your editors, publishers, partner, parents or colleagues. True discipline comes both from the inside and the outside. It is a discipline of both time and boundaries. Enjoy! Highlights from the Show: [00:00] Intro [07:12] Trust me, I'm lying [15:01] Conspiracy [19:39] Success and fulfilment [24:58] Discipline [29:29] Self-consciousness [42:47] Time, a non-renewable resource [46:49] Time and boundaries [52:46] The four virtues [58:27] Be suspicious of shortcuts in life and in art [1:10:17] Where to follow Ryan

Most of us have been given the same general blueprint for success since birth. Go to school, get good grades, go to college, get a job, work hard and you'll be successful. And for a long time, this was an effective path to success. But in recent years, the idea of what it means to be successful has changed. With the advent of technology and the global interconnectedness of the world, success is no longer about following the traditional path. Want to know a secret? For many careers, no one cares about your pedigree. In this episode, we explore why non-traditional paths are no longer the exception and why it's more important (and easier) than ever to find our own way. Enjoy!

If you've ever wondered what ends a relationship fastest, these two guests have the answer. Drs. John and Julie Gottman cofounders of The Gottman Institute, both world-renowned in their field, have devoted their lives to the research and practice of helping people create healthy, long-lasting relationships. They're joining me on the show and I'm thrilled because Kate and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and I want to know, are we doing it right? Well, I know we must have some of the good attributes of a healthy relationship, but I learned more about what works and what doesn't. It's been the life work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman as researchers and clinical psychologists to understand exactly what goes into successful relationships. Their work is a culmination of over 40 years of research and includes the most extensive study on marital stability. They've learned by studying more than 3000 couples and have used their findings to develop their work in helping people have better relationships in love and in life. On the show, we talk about their work and their latest book, The Love Prescription: Seven Days to More Intimacy, Connection, and Joy. We go into the depths to discover more about how good relationships work. Let's get into this! Here are just some of the highlights from the show: [04:23] Intro and background [5:37] Over 50 years in the making [10:01] The things that successful couples avoid [13:49] What does work and creating love maps [22:19] Conflicts and underlying dreams [43:28] The role of asking good questions [47:58] Community is declining in America [58:45] What is it about the human condition that makes it so that we need this big stuff to happen (trauma/crisis) to look deeper? Enjoy!

Are you looking for a place to start? Is the number of options overwhelming? In this quick little episode, I'm talking not only how to start, but how to turn that momentum into mastery. Put this one on repeat. Enjoy!

Experimenting with a new format with my pal Alex Hillinger. We're planning to do a few of these so you can hear a format where there is more banter and storytelling. A little sneak behind how the sausage is made. Let us know what you think. A great idea is transformative by nature and what comes next either supports making it or breaking it. When a good or even great idea presents itself, it's not enough on its own. We need certain boundaries and constraints that drive the idea forward and we probably need some luck too. When you're getting an idea off the ground it's common to spend a lot of time preparing for it. I've had ideas where I spent way too much time in the planning stages. I call this insecurity work. My friend Alex blatantly describes it as procrastination. Alex Hillinger is known as an unconventional strategist, he says there's more to it when it comes to launching a great idea and having it work out. You need a great idea, and you need to take action on it, and you also need constraints and boundaries to do that effectively. Alex knows what he's talking about. He works with the most innovative entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes in the world. Through his work, he's pioneered new business models, grown great brands, and collaborated on projects that changed the world. He's an advisor to Google's Crisis Response team and CreativeLive's executive team. Alex has a lot to share with us. His experience in helping people generate game-changing strategies and growing engaged communities lends to the conversation we have. We explore both the strategic side and the emotional side of our creative pursuits. Highlights from our conversation: Get to know Alex Hillinger, who he is, and how we know each other. We go way back multiple decades, so we've got a lot of stories working and spending time together. 10:33 10% Planning, 90% Doing. The dominant mode for most people is that they way over-index on all of the planning and the insecurity work instead of just acting. 35:21 Constraints are Required. Freedom and creativity do need boundaries to help them be successful. 37:21 Everything is a Remix. 54:09 Success is a low bar. We should really be shooting for fulfillment. 01:11:44 Enjoy!

Are you telling yourself a story that's holding you back? This week I'm diving into two questions from the community. The first question is about work/life balance - how to maintain personal relationships when you are away for work all the time. The other is about transitioning careers while battling a lot of self-doubt. Enjoy!

A good life is designed. Intentionally crafted. And someone whom I think excels at this, is my friend and fellow photog Alex Stohl. Alex is a photographer, enterprenuer and storyteller whose adventures around the world have informed his unique style of photography. In this episode, we chat about life, art, and fulfillment. No matter what form our art takes, for Alex, storytelling is always at the root. Whether he's creating a photograph, film, a zine, or a class. In particular, we dive deep into his experience turning ideas and curiosities into businesses. Enjoy!

Do you know how many shots Michael Jordan missed during his career? More than 9000. Take baseball: a legendary hitter, bats a .300 average, which means he succeeds only one in three times at that. You can do everything right, in both making the work and sharing it, and there's still no guarantee of success. But there's good news... In this episode, we dig into a topic I've been exploring recently: Success. I think the bar is lower than we think. Enjoy!

We're all experiencing massive change in one way or another these days. With the pandemic behind us, creative professionals have shared they're either supercharged and ready for the next big thing, or they're at the other end of it and feeling burnout. Regardless where we're at there are ways to support our daily workflow, mindset and health. You may remember that I've had Todd Henry on before. He's the creator for creators and genuinely shares so much wisdom with us on how to create longevity as a creative professional. Todd's written five books and his latest book Daily Creative, a Practical Guide for Staying Prolific, Brilliant and Healthycomes in seemingly perfect timing. The daily prompts are the simplicity and sustainability we all need as we get into our new rhythms. Todd's podcast called The Accidental Creative offers weekly tips for how to stay prolific, brilliant, and healthy. It's those three things that are a huge part of what Todd and I explore on this episode, as we dive deep into the topic of human creative potential and how good infrastructure supports this. We cover key aspects in regards to being prolific, brilliant and healthy and Todd shares with us directly what this all means. Here are some of the highlights from our conversation: Why do we need to be prolific? 5:04 I asked Todd what is it that he helps people understand about their own journey that they might not be aware of themselves? 10:33 Burnout and unhealthy, um, spaces, mindsets habits 30:57 The concept of seasons and how important they are to me. 39:47 New ways we can learn to be human. 44:40 What it means to be brilliant. 47:56

At key moments in our lives, we'll be at a crossroads. In our career, that can be deciding which project ideas to do next, which job to take, or what business decisions to make. If you feel paralyzed by these, you're not alone. In this episode, we dive into breaking through the fear and getting started. Enjoy!

No one is born knowing how to share their work. It's uncomfortable at first. Back in Graduate School, I tried every way I could to incorporate my creativity into my academic writing. Despite all the effort, I never wanted to share my work with anyone in my circle of friends. Eventually I realized that it was because I wasn't proud of it. In this episode, we explore how to face down our insecurities, sidestep impostor syndrome, and build resilence to not just share our work but create work we're proud enough to share. Enjoy!

By popular demand, this week's show is another microshow compiling some of the most popular + impactful questions from The Daily Creative (my YouTube show where I answer YOUR questions about the challenges you're facing on your journey to become an aspiring or professional creative). In this episode, Joe wants to know how to overcome ego and self-doubt. I borrow from some powerful tools from Tony Robbins, Debbie Millman, and Brené Brown that creates a framework on how to program the brain to work for you. Issac lives in a place where work isn't abundant. I discuss some strategies to get started where you are, and finding/connecting to the community.

No one has single-handedly given me better insight about the business side of art than the New York Times bestselling author, Ramit Sethi. He's a business savant, mindset master, habit king, and money maker. Ramit is a regular on the show by now, and this episode is one of my favs from my 30 Day of Genius series. It was such a hit and I still get so much positive feedback on how powerful his advice is that we had to share it with you on the podcast.

If calculated risks keep us growing, why do we stop? There are two contrasting ideas that many of us have about creativity. It's that we want to stand out and share our work while at the same time we want to fit in. When we stand out, it means we're not fitting in. We can't have both. Human nature likes us to fit in, so it becomes very risky behavior to stand out even in a creative world. If we never make anything, if we make only what's comfortable or we create something and then never share it, we're hiding. We all do it. Creatives everywhere are nodding their heads. There is a sense of knowing this truth and a knowing that we need to put ourselves out there. We're looking for career growth and creative growth to expand our lives and live better. Then again, it feels too risky. It's not our calling to hide and leave our creative calling dormant. We're meant to wake it up and nurture it.

Tunde Oyeneyin is a hugely popular Peloton instructor and inspires millions of people from the seat of a bike. But Tunde's story of finding her purpose and landing in the position of a world-famous fitness instructor is rooted in tragedy, grief and insecurity.

As creatives, we are often our own worst enemies. It's far too easy to become stuck, believing the labels others have given us. These labels, and the self-limiting beliefs we attach to them, can be difficult to change. The truth is that if we want to be the best versions of ourselves possible, we must find a way to let go of who others think we are and start embracing our creativity.

In this podcast, Marcus Buckingham takes on a journey through what makes the individual unique and why everyone should embrace their weirdness. Marcus discusses the Norse concept of "WYRD," whereby everyone is born with a unique "Spirit" or "Daemon" that defines the life we subsequently lead. "Red Threads" are the energy fields we should search out and harness to enjoy our life here on earth fully, and you notice those energy fields when time begins to pass so quickly that you don't see it. Marcus Buckingham has devoted his career to understanding what makes people thrive at work. His new book, Love + Work, takes readers on a journey to discover where they are at their best—both at work and in life. Marcus draws on years of research to explore the concept of "flow"—a state of peak performance in which we are fully engaged and lost in the moment. He shows us how to find our flow by uncovering our strengths and values and reveals the surprising secret to a fulfilled career: not finding our passion but loving our work. With insights and stories from some of the world's most successful people, Marcus provides a roadmap for anyone who wants to achieve their full potential. Love + work is an essential guides to living a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

There's no such thing as creative people and non-creative people. There's simply people who use their creativity and those that don't. Yet what we're realizing is unused creativity can wreck havoc on our lives making us feel disconnected from our purpose. When our dormant creativity wakes up, it guides us. In this episode we explore if unexpressed creativity is pulling you in the wrong direction and how to re-awaken it. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

He has a Ph.D. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from MIT and is a neurologist trained at Harvard University. He is the successor of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a renowned scientist and Vedic Guru. Dr. Nader is the head of the global Transcendental Meditation organization in more than one hundred countries. In this episode I ask Tony the age old question: what is the meaning of life? You might assume that question is a bit tongue in cheek, but what Dr. Tony Nader explained emphasized health and wellbeing and connectedness to mind, body, and soul. He connects mindfulness to brain science. I found it absolutely fascinating. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

In this episode, I answer two popular questions. The first question I don't get asked enough, but I've certainly thought a lot about: how do balance career, exercise, and creative time. While this can be different for everyone, I share a few key aspects I've learned over the years including how I protect my self-care routine. Next, Dylan called in asking about how to manage two similar but different passions. We're all multi-hyphenates. Our passions have many layers and explorations. However, clients for one passion may not be the same for another. We get into how to manage it and at what point does it make sense to combine all your work in a single portfolio. I've been taking your questions on whatever is holding you back and getting in between your goals. It's part of an ongoing series I started on YouTube, called Daily Creative.

Humans are social creatures.

Everyone wants a mentor, the wise little green creature who will teach us how to swing a lightsaber and use the Force. I was no exception when I started out in photography. I thought someone was going to take my outstretched hand and guide me along the path to greatness. They'd tell me what to learn, how to learn it, and what to do once I'd done so. As I've progressed along my creative path and become a person whom other aspiring photographers ask to serve as their own mentor, I've come to realize that mentorship as we think of it is a pernicious fairy tale. In this episode, a few things I've learned about about finding a mentor. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

It has been about 18-months in the making to get Dr. Chatterjee on the show and our conversation was well worth the wait.

The world would have you believe that creativity is an indulgence. "Get a real job" or "find something you're good at" are a few common phrases that get thrown around. But so long as you do that, you're on someone else's path. It isn't living your own life - it's following someone else's. Why spend your life that way when you could be seeing the world for what it really is? In today's episode, we'll explore what Friedrich Nietzsche meant by his words "No artist tolerates reality" and why it's fodder for artists like you and me, even today. We'll also dig into why: Creators cannot tolerate the "status quo." Creativity is your birthright. Reality is malleable and different for everyone. Everything in this world was created by someone just like you. When you choose creativity, you distort reality, introducing a part of you into it to make a change in the lives of others. Establishing a creative practice is the only way to a creative life. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

Nabil Ayers is the president of Beggars Group USA, which has released albums by many world-famous artists and Grammy winners. He has also written about music and race for major publications including The New You Times and Rolling Stone. From musician to entrepreneur to president and now writer, Nabil Ayer has always chosen a path different than most, which as revealed in his memoir has been much more connected to his absentee father than he would have known. I have been friends with Nabil for 10-15 years now and have also had him previously on my show where we spoke about his career journey from musician and record store owner to General Manager of Beggars Group 4AD. He has since then become president of Beggars Group and has now written a memoir of his life and journey. Our conversation during this show focuses on his book being released this week: My Life in the Sunshine; Searching for My Father and Discovering My Family. Enjoy!

Early on in my career, I had to make an important distinction between what it means to be a photographer, and what it means to be a professional. Not suprrisingly, if you have an ambition to do something different in your career, there are a myriad of obstacles. The largest one, being you. In this episode I pull some lessons from my own career that helped me break through. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

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.

Have you ever felt "off", but you weren't exactly sure why? Amber Rae is a global voice for emotional well-being and self-discovery. She's also a creative who translates her deep insights into the human experience into art that inspires. In today's episode, Amber helps us explore what it feels like to be out of alignment with one's true self, how we can get in tune with our inner being, and how we can use our intuition to make better choices. Here are some highlights from our conversation: * Who is Amber Rae? * How we can relate to our inner world and come home to ourselves * Amber's experience of creating from a place of fear and scarcity rather than a place of power, abundance, and truth * Is it possible to come into alignment with yourself without dismantling everything? * Alignment doesn't have to be a big deal. It can be in the small decisions we make every day. It can be the morning practice that helps us feel centered and present with ourselves. * Different stages of aligning with your true self, according to Amber * In moments of despair, we should remember that this is just a phase and won't last forever. * What is intuition and how can we tap into it? * What is toxic perfectionism and why should we avoid it?

As creators, we often place a large emphasis on our workspace. Sometimes it might even block us from doing any creative work at all. Of course, a large, airy, well-lit work space of your own—preferably with an ocean view—would be ideal. But highly productive artists everywhere hunker down to work in cafés, restaurants, co-working spaces, parks, empty college classrooms, and waiting rooms—not to mention buses, trains, subways, and planes. A huge part of one's early endeavors—whether you're picking up a new creative craft, starting a new business, or transitioning out of a full-time job into a freelance career—is about flexibility. Think about modifications or purchases you might make to become "creative ready" in as many environments as possible. This might mean carrying a sketch pad in your bag at all times, investing in a mobile audio rig or a digital tablet, or renting a spot at a co-working space. If your intention is to become a professional creator being able to create on-demand is key. This short episode will take a look at how your workspace is working for you.

In this episode, Chris Burkard reflects on his career and the wayward journey he's been on. I have had the great privilege of knowing Chris for darn near a decade now. As an accomplished photographer, explorer, author, creative director, and speaker, he has travelled to some of the most remote places on earth capturing stories and images that connect us to nature and the importance of protecting it. After nearly 20 years as a creator and storyteller, he feels like he's finally hitting his stride. That might sound odd considering his work has been seen by millions, but the truth is there's rarely a straight line to our career growth. In this episode we explore: Figuring yourself out on your career path Going beyond what you're comfortable with and getting comfortable being uncomfortable * The importance of doing something meaningful and purposeful Why you should pursue a career that excites you Why being a specialist is incredibly valuable Projects have a lifespan. Sometimes the hardest part is learning when to let go and when to pass it on to someone else, because that's how it might come to life. There's something to be said for thrusting yourself into situations where there are no guarantees, but where the mystery of the experience is still there. The importance of developing a healthy relationship with risk It's a good one. Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

Career decisions can be daunting. The right choice is often unclear, and the trade offs uncertain. Should you stay in your current role or go look for something new? Is it in your best interest to move cities and re locate or double down on your current market? These big decisions can leave us paralyzed. And yet, one of the ways to break through that paralysis is by soliciting the opinions of others. As the legendary troublemaker, author and blogger, Luvvie Ajayi Jones says, "the best decisions are not counsel decisions. Career and life choices are bet made by you and you alone." However, by sourcing a broad range of career advice, what you end up with is a constellation of possibilities through which to draw from. This is a collection of perspectives around career strategy and building the living and life you want for yourself.
