The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

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 Hotel. * The key difference between creatives who thrive in AI disruption and those who panic. Enjoy!

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 voice matter more than ever * How to make work that’s irreplaceable—not just impressive The big idea? Anyone can generate something. But only you can *create* something with heart, with history, with soul. This isn’t about fearing the future. It’s about shaping it—on your terms. Using the tools, yes. But leading with your voice, your vision, your humanity. Because that’s what will make your work matter tomorrow—even when machines are everywhere. So take a hard look at what you’re making. Trim the generic. Amplify the real. And build a body of work that says something no AI ever could: *“This is me.”* Until next time—stay human, and keep creating.

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 design your days The big idea? You are what you practice. Every choice, every habit, every action is shaping your future. The question is: are you practicing the life you want—or one you’ll want to escape? This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters. On purpose. So take a breath. Look around. And ask yourself: What am I really building? This episode will help you answer—and take the first steps toward it. Until next time—stay intentional, and keep creating.

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 multiplier The big idea? Stop waiting for permission. Stop looking for the perfect plan. The only way to build the life you want is to start where you are, with what you have, and figure it out as you go. There’s no perfect path. Just your path. So grab a pen. Start drafting your rulebook—messy, incomplete, and uniquely yours. Because the life you’re craving? It won’t come from playing by someone else’s rules. Until next time—stay bold, and keep creating.

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!
