1 小时 15 分钟If you had a loving lens on yourself, how much more could you create?
And how could I bet you could do it with a lot less drama and pain and the power of positivity relative to that whipping voice, what would be possible?
Imagine spending pretty much your entire adult life traveling around the world and photographing some of the most incredible adventures, action, sports, locations, that you could ever imagine.
Well, that's what this week's guest, Chase Jarvis, spent the vast majority of his adult life doing until a couple years back.
He decided to make a pretty abrupt change.
Now, he still travels and he still shoots, but he became really focused on something much bigger, and that is the creative process.
That's the opportunity to tap into something profoundly creative and make something, not just make his own thing, but also turn around and teach other people how to find that in themselves.
So he teamed with some people, and he created a venture called Creative Live, which has now exploded into this huge global creative platform and community and online educational venture that's touched millions of lives.
In today's conversation, we sit down and we really trace some of the big moments of awakening and transformation in his journey.
We talk about his career in photography, where that came out of where he was born, and what his early influences were.
Really dive into this major pivot that he's made in sort of like, this new evolution of his life, and what he's really focused on, the power of creativity and storytelling and the ability to tap into possibility and then take things that are in your head and turn them into real powerful things in the world.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
So we're hanging out right now in your hotel room, the Ace Hotel in beautiful New York City, my hometown.
You are off a plane from Paris and a couple of days on your way to LA, I guess.
And we are soon to have room service, so you guys will hear us chomping and drinking and doing all sorts of stuff when that arrives.
I was just thinking back on my way over to hang out with you when we first met, and it was.
I'm pretty sure it was that we were both doing a TEDx talk at Carnegie Mellon.
Something else popped into my mind.
I don't know if you know, maybe you know this, but the room that we did that talk in was the same lecture that Randy Pausch gave his famous last lecture in.
