  • Life feels so good.

  • It's engaged and connected and this is what I'm supposed to be doing and I knew it all along and just, God help me find my way back to myself again and do more of this.

  • We need to return to ourselves, return to this point of view, this disposition of realizing that all the best stuff is on the other side of our comfort zone.

  • Learning how to play through fear and risk to get at some of this stuff is a skill.

  • And if we can focus on it, we can develop these skills and live richer, more meaningful, connected, fulfilling lives.

  • So, so much of our lives is governed by this innate desire to feel safe.

  • I totally get this.

  • The world can feel like an unstable, scary place, feeling physically and psychologically safe.

  • It matters to our mental health, to our physical health.

  • But does there come a point where playing it too safe actually causes us harm?

  • Where it makes our worlds, our relationships, our experiences and lives smaller, less good rather than better?

  • Feeling like deep down you know that there's more to life than just existing within the confines of a box that sure might feel safe, but also keeps you and your life so much more narrow and limited than it could otherwise be.

  • And all too often, the confines of that box, that alleged safety, have been drawn by someone else's expectations.

  • So my guest today is Chase Jarvis and his new book, never play it safe, a practical guide to freedom, creativity and a life you love.

  • It serves as an inspiring clarion call to challenge the notion of safety as an excuse for complacency.

  • An award winning artist, serial entrepreneur, and one of the most influential photographers of the past decade, Chase has created campaigns for iconic brands like Apple, Nike and Red Bull.

  • He's also the co founder and former CEO of Creative Live, an online education platform that has helped over 50 million students unlock their creative potential.

  • So in our conversation, Chase shares his really personal journey of shedding the shackles, of playing it safe to fully embrace his authentic path.

  • And along the way, he had to kind of blow up the expectations of a lot of other people around him.

  • He offers this refreshingly candid perspective on the innate tools that we all possess to more courageously step beyond our comfort zones and craft a life overflowing with freedom and creativity and fulfillment.
