Your Imperfection Is the Advantage
Hey friends, Chase here We are living in a moment where perfect is cheaper than ever. A few words into a prompt can generate an image. A template can make your brand look polished. A filter can smooth the rough edges. An AI tool can help you produce something slick, flattering, and technically...
-
Jeff Boyd: Why Hard Things Are the Opportunity
Hey friends, Chase here Jeff Boyd is on the show today, and this conversation is about building the kind of life and business that does not always look like the predominant story on the internet. Jeff is the founder and chairman of MTE, More Than Energy, which he describes in this episode as "an...
-
Bet On Yourself
Hey friends, Chase here There is a particular kind of silence that can change the direction of a life. Not the peaceful kind. Not the silence you seek out when you need space to think. I mean the silence that lands in the room right after you say something true. The silence after you tell people...
-
Eric Zimmer: How A Little Becomes A Lot
Hey friends, Chase here Eric Zimmer is on the show today, and this conversation is exactly the kind of reminder we all need when we are trying to change something real. You probably know Eric from The One You Feed, his award-winning podcast about wisdom, behavior change, mental health,...

-
Play It As It Lies
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about golf. And before you check out because you're not a golfer, hang with me for a minute — because this episode isn't really about golf. It's about life. It's about what happens when things don't go according to plan. When the ball lands somewhere ugly. When...
-
You Don't Need More Hustle. You Need More Capacity.
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about hustle. Not the old-school definition of hustle — as in working hard, caring deeply, staying committed, and doing the reps. That kind of effort still matters. It always will. I'm talking about what hustle has become. The kind of hustle that glorifies...
-
How to Find Your Creative Voice
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about one of the most important questions every creator eventually asks: How do I find my creative voice? Or maybe you've heard it framed another way: How do I develop a personal style? How do I make work that actually feels like mine? How do I stop copying what...
-
Stop Asking Permission to Create Your Life
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about reality. Not the abstract, philosophical version. Not the version you argue about over coffee or read about in some dusty book. I mean the reality you wake up inside every day. The job. The schedule. The obligations. The story you tell yourself about what…
more -
Don't Wait for Inspiration
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that gets romanticized way too much in the creative world: inspiration. We've been taught to wait for it. To trust it. To believe that the best work comes when lightning strikes, when the muse shows up, when the feeling is right. And while...
-
The Hidden Cost of Overplanning
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that looks responsible on the surface — but quietly steals momentum from your life underneath it. I'm talking about overplanning. Not thoughtful preparation. Not healthy strategy. I mean the kind of planning that masquerades as progress. The kind...
-
Are You Climbing the Wrong Mountain?
Hey friends, Chase here. I want to talk about something that might be uncomfortable — but if you're willing to really look at it, it can change everything. What if you're working incredibly hard… at the wrong thing? This is one of the scariest patterns I've seen — not just in the creators I…

Talent Is a Lie (Here's What Actually Matters)
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that quietly holds a lot of people back — something we've been taught to believe for most of our lives: Talent. The idea that some people are just born with "it." The gift. The spark. The thing that makes them exceptional. And if you don't have…
more -
Perfect Is Dead: Why Your Flaws Are Your Creative Advantage
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that might feel uncomfortable at first — especially if you've spent years trying to get better, sharper, more polished, more "professional." Perfection is dead. Not metaphorically. Not eventually. I mean right now. And if you're paying attention…
more -
You Don't Need Everyone
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that quietly holds a lot of creators back — the belief that your work needs to resonate with everyone. It feels natural. We're wired for connection. We want to be seen, appreciated, recognized. That's human. But when that instinct starts driving...
-
Why Hearing "No" Is Part of the Creative Path
Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something every creator experiences — but almost nobody talks about openly. Rejection. If you're pursuing anything creative — photography, writing, design, building a business, launching a project — you already know the truth: you hear a lot more no than…
more -
Craft Is the Entry Fee
Hey friends, Chase here If you're a creator who's ever wondered why someone with "less talent" seems to get more opportunities… this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: being great at your craft is only the price of admission. It gets you in the door. But what happens after that? That's...
-
Designed, Not Discovered
Hey friends, Chase here There's a myth that quietly messes with a lot of us — especially if you're a maker, builder, or artist. It's the myth that creative fulfillment is something you find. That if you just get lucky enough… brave enough… talented enough… you'll stumble into "the thing" and...
-
The Messy Middle Is the Point
Every creative journey starts the same way. Excitement. Possibility. Momentum. And then — somewhere between the spark and the breakthrough — it gets hard. The novelty fades. The results slow down. Doubt gets louder. And that's when most of us go looking for certainty. Better gear. Better tactics....
-
The Cost of Playing It Safe
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on a truth most of us spend years trying to outgrow: playing it safe has a cost. Not just a financial cost. Not just an "I didn't take the leap" cost. I'm talking about the hidden cost — the slow trade of your originality…
more -
Build the Next Chapter Before You're Paid
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that quietly changes everything once you see it: You don't get paid first for the work you want to do next. You build it first. Most people wait for permission. They wait for a client, an investor, or an...
-
You Can't Think Your Way Forward
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that runs counter to how most of us try to solve creative problems. When we feel stuck, uncertain, or restless, our instinct is usually to think harder. To analyze. To wait for clarity. But here's the truth I've...
-
You Are Your Habits
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and practical — and it centers on a simple idea that tends to hit a little deeper once you really sit with it: you are not your goals. You are not your intentions. You are what you do repeatedly. Around this time of year — or anytime you feel the urge...
-
Important, Not Urgent
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that quietly changes everything once you really see it: most people aren't stuck because they're lazy or unmotivated. They're stuck because they confuse urgency with importance. We've been trained to react. To...
-
Rest Is a Skill
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it centers on an idea that's easy to overlook: rest isn't something you earn after the work is done. It's a skill you have to learn while you're doing the work. Most of us don't struggle because we lack motivation. We struggle because...
-
What Actually Makes a Great Friend
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it's built around a question I think most of us care about more than we admit: what actually makes a great friend? Friendship is often treated as something casual. Easy. Automatic. But as life gets fuller — work, family…
more -
The Most Important Creative Tools Are Free
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct — and it's built around a simple idea I've come to believe deeply: the most important creative tools are free. Most creators assume they're stuck because they don't have the right gear, the right resources, or the right opportunity. But…
more -
Stop Shipping at 95%
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and direct: most creators don't struggle because they lack talent — they struggle because they quit at 95%. They get the work to "pretty good," ship it, and move on. And for a lot of things in life, that's fine. The 80–20 rule works. But when it comes...
-
Love Your Work or Don't Ship It
Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and honest: if you don't love the work you're making, don't ship it — or better yet, figure out how to love the work before you ship it. I know that sounds blunt, but the market — and more importantly, your audience — can smell half-hearted work a…

Don't Rush the New Year: 7 Steps to Prepare Mindfully
Hey friends, Chase here This time of year, I get a lot of messages from folks ready for change — they've declared an intention, they want the next chapter, but something's holding them back. Some have the ideas and energy but no system to ship. Others have the systems but aren't listening to the...
-
Mindset. Skillset. And the Hard Stuff You're Avoiding.
Hey friends, Chase here This week I had back-to-back coaching calls with two different clients. One had the skillset but not the mindset. The other had the mindset but not the skillset. Different people, same roadblock — they were both stuck at the edge of their next level because they were...
-
The Other 50% No One Told You About
Hey friends, Chase here You put the work in. You make something you're proud of. You hit publish… and then? Crickets. Tumbleweeds. A handful of likes from your mom and your college roommate. If you've ever wondered why some creators seem to explode overnight while your (arguably better!) work...
-
Charge More. You're Worth It.
Hey friends, Chase here. If you're a creator, here's a hard truth: most of us don't charge enough. We look around, see what others are doing, and call that "the going rate." But that's not how value works. There's no upper limit on creativity — you can charge whatever someone is willing to pay.…
more -
Stop Planning. Start Doing.
Hey friends, Chase here. Here's an important reminder: you'll never feel ready to start. But you've got to do it anyway. And the operative word there is "do." Just start. This episode is the kick in the ass you need. Too often we get bogged down in the dreaming, the research, and the preparing -...

In this week's episode, we're revisiting a powerful conversation that originally aired back in 2015 — one that feels even more relevant today. Brené Brown joined me to talk about courage, connection, and what it really means to find true belonging in a divided world. Her insights on creativity,...
-
Stop Curating. Start Creating.
Hey friends, Chase here. If you've ever found yourself hesitating to start a project because it didn't feel "portfolio-worthy," this one's for you. I've fallen into that trap more times than I'd like to admit — obsessing over whether something I'm making is polished enough to represent me. The...

The Creative Edge Isn't Vanishing — It's Moving.
Hey friends, Chase here. I'm back with a little reflection that's been brewing for a while—one that hits right at the heart of what it means to be a creator right now. Lately, the number one question in my inbox (and probably yours too) goes something like this: "What happens to creativity now…

The Antidote to Burnout Isn't Rest — It's Play
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 Most Important Question You're Probably Not Asking: How Much Is Enough?
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...
-
Social Media as a Stage, Not a Sofa
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...
-
Don't Trade Your Dreams for Security
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...

AI Doesn't Create the Work. You Do.
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,...
