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 weirdness, your voice. In this episode, I unpack what it takes to stand out right now—not by running from the tech, but by using it while building a body of work that’s unmistakably yours. 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 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? At an advantage—if you bring your point of view to the table. Because here’s the truth: AI can

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 weirdness, your voice. In this episode, I unpack what it takes to stand out right now—not by running from the tech, but by using it while building a body of work that’s unmistakably yours. Here’s what we get into: Why your point of view is your ultimate differentiator How to make your portfolio future-proof The shift from pressing buttons to telling stories Why now is the time to trim the generic and amplify the real The big idea? Anyone can generate something. But only you can create something with heart, history, and soul. Until next time—stay human, and keep creating.

In this episode, Ben Uyeda shares how chasing purpose instead of scale can transform your creative career — and your life. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force who left behind a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design concepts to the masses through media. His free, widely shared designs have reached over 50 million people and are being built around the world. We dive deep into the tension between scale and meaning in the creator economy — and how Ben has escalated from designing vases on YouTube to building a 65-room hotel in the desert, all without losing his creative soul. Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or just trying to figure out what’s next, this conversation will challenge you to rethink your relationship with risk, money, and mastery. Some highlights we explore: “Scaling is just repeating. Escalating is growing.” The mindset shift that changed Ben’s career. Why Ben believes nature is becoming a luxury good — and how that shaped the Reset

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 you choose it. Because here’s the truth: AI can copy the *output*. But it can’t copy *you*—your soul, your story, your weirdness, your taste. The things that made you a creative person in the first place. And that’s where the opportunity lives. In this episode, I unpack how to stand out in the age of AI—not by competing with it, but by doubling down on what makes your work unmistakably human. Here’s what we get into: Why your unique POV is now your most valuable asset How to build a portfolio AI can’t replicate The difference between pressing buttons and telling stories Why taste, style, and

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 actually matters most to you. In this episode, I break down 10 core principles for doing just that. These aren’t quick hacks or lofty theories. They’re hard-won lessons from world-class performers, artists, and makers who’ve mastered their craft and their lives. Here’s a taste of what we get into: Why simplicity beats complexity every time (stop overcomplicating your goals) How to harness resistance instead of fighting it Why passion isn’t optional—it’s fuel for the hard stuff The hidden cost of “bad” practices you don’t even realize you’re repeating How to ditch autopilot and consciously des

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’s a good thing. Because if there’s no rulebook… you get to write your own. In this episode, I share 11 lessons that have helped me (and countless others) carve a path when there wasn’t one. They’re not “rules” in the traditional sense—they’re more like signposts. Principles you can remix into a guide for your own life. Here’s a taste of what we cover: Why “get sh*t done” beats overthinking every single time How to make your own rules—and know when to break them Why practicing your craft relentlessly matters more than chasing shiny shortcuts Why helping others isn’t just nice—it’s a success multiplie

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 their craft. In this episode, I break down the 3 pillars of practice that separate masters from the rest of us—and how you can use them to level up. We’ll cover: The 3 pillars every top performer lives by Why mastering the fundamentals beats chasing flashy skills How to make practice something you crave, not dread The secret link between identity and growth most people miss Enjoy!

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 could do the opposite? Here’s the truth: Social media is one of the most powerful learning tools on the planet—if you use it right. Not for validation. Not for endless distraction. But as a living library of creative technique, storytelling, and craft. The trick? You’ve gotta stop watching like a fan—and start studying like a student. See a photo that grabs you? A reel that feels electric? A post that hits hard? Instead of asking “Why not me?”—ask “How’d they do that?” Break it down. Steal the structure. Take notes. Try your own spin. It’s not about copying. It’s about collecting ideas. About s

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 honor—or tells us to avoid it like the plague. But neither story is complete. Failure hurts—especially when you care. That’s what makes it meaningful. A bad pitch, a failed launch, a relationship gone sideways—if you tried, if you truly cared, then the pain you're feeling is proof that you're alive and in the game. It’s data. It's a signal. It's the exact thing that helps you grow. So what's the play? Try hard. Ship often. Then do it again. Don’t make garbage just to say you did something. Don’t fake effort to avoid real disappointment. Give it what you’ve got—then put it out there bef

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 terrifying seconds, time slowed down. I was completely present. Fully alive. That experience changed me. And I’ve been trying to live like that ever since. You don’t need something dramatic to wake up. You just need to start paying attention. That’s what this episode is about: why this moment is everything, and how to stop missing it. Until next time, stay present, and stay awake.

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. Viktor Frankl found purpose in the darkest of places by choosing where to direct his mind. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi discovered flow while surviving war by focusing on a single game of chess. Louis Zamperini endured torture by turning his attention toward faith and forgiveness. These weren’t magic tricks. They were choices. Repeated. Intentional. Life-saving. What You Focus On Becomes Your Life Science backs it up. As Dr. Andrew Huberman says, “The ability to focus and direct one's attention is the distinguishing factor between those who will succeed and those who won’t.” That’s not just about work or goals. That’s about everything. Your relationships. Your health. Your sense of self. Because attention doesn’t just shape what yo

In this episode, Chris Guillebeau shares how time anxiety affects nearly everyone—and why naming it might be the first step to freedom. Chris is a New York Times bestselling author known for books like The $100 Startup and The Art of Non-Conformity, and the founder of several beloved communities and events, including the World Domination Summit and Neurodiversion. We dive into his latest book Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live, exploring why productivity often leaves us feeling emptier, not more fulfilled. Chris shares how his own stress around time led him to uncover this nearly universal tension—and why the answer isn’t just doing less, but living more intentionally. If you’ve ever felt like there’s never enough time (and who hasn’t?), this conversation is for you. Some highlights we explore: “I've never heard of that, but I have that.” — Chris on why time anxiety hit a nerve with almost everyone he talked to. A man who flies to nowhere every week – and what it teaches us about

In this episode, Soren Gordhamer shares how to find what really matters in a world full of noise. Soren is the founder of Wisdom 2.0, a global movement bridging mindfulness, compassion, and technology. He’s also the creator of the new conference Wisdom + AI and co-leads Wisdom Ventures, a fund investing in companies that combine profits with human-centered purpose. We talk about what it means to live with intention in a time of constant distraction. Soren shares hard-won lessons from teaching meditation in a New York juvenile detention center to working alongside some of the world’s top tech leaders. This episode is a powerful reminder that while AI and external success may be evolving fast, the real work is upgrading our inner life—learning to listen, slow down, and connect to what truly matters before our limited heartbeats run out. Some highlights we explore: The hug that meant more than meditation – Why a teen in juvie showed up week after week for something deeper than a lesson. “If you’re not available

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. This is a syndicate episode from the LinkedIn Speaker Series, where I sit down with Ashley Levy, Senior Director of Brand Marketing at LinkedIn, for a deep conversation about my latest book Never Play It Safe. We talk about trusting intuition, the myth of the linear career path, and the hidden cost of living by someone else’s script. If you’ve ever felt stuck in “shoulds” or worried that taking a leap is too risky, this one’s for you. Some highlights we explore: The yellow sticky note that sparked the idea behind Never Play It Safe. Why playing it safe is actually the riskiest move you can make. The #1 shared trait of top performers from my 1,000+ podcast interviews. How attention, not time, is your most valuable creat

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. Play Isn’t the Opposite of Progress Play is where creativity begins. It’s what makes challenges fun and failure less scary. It helps you breathe, think, connect, and feel again. You Don’t Need Permission to Lighten Up You already know how to play, you’ve just forgotten. But it’s still there, waiting. So try it. Loosen the grip. Smile more. Make life a little less rigid and a lot more yours. Until next time, stay curious, and stay in the game.

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. This is a syndicate episode from the B&H Photography Podcast, where I sit down with Derek, Jill, and Mike to trace the arc of my journey—from building the Best Camera app and pioneering mobile photography, to founding CreativeLive and finding purpose through community. We talk about the cost of taking creative risks, the billion-dollar idea that got away, and the deeper why behind making and sharing your art. If you’ve ever doubted whether your creative voice matters, this episode is for you. Some highlights we explore: Why you only need 20 people to support your work and make a living. WThe emotional cost—and wisdom—of losing out on the Instagram moment. What “the best

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 Touch With Intuition In this post, we’ll talk about why so many of us lost touch with our intuition—and how to start tuning back in, one small decision at a time. Your gut knows. It always has. The question is: are you listening?

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. She's also the chair of the Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts and editorial director at Print magazine. We talk about the creative risks Debbie took later in life, why fear and shame shaped her early path, and how she found fulfillment by making deeply personal work—without waiting for permission. From the grief of losing family to the joy of marrying at 57, this is a raw, powerful conversation about love, legacy, and the courage to start—even if you feel like a mess. Some highlights we explore: The myth of readiness – Why waiting to feel “good enough” keeps us stuck in place. Failures that shaped the path – From rejected applications to bad jobs, how struggle created space for clarity. Creating without permission – Why Debbie’s most meaningful work began when she stopped waiting to be c
