“Art is a subset of creativity.” – Chase Jarvis
Now, on to our amazing guest, Chase Jarvis!
Chase is a master photographer and the CEO of CreativeLIVE.com, where this episode was filmed.
Chase is the youngest person ever to be named a Hasselblad Master, Nikon Master, and ASMP Master. Since opening his own studio, Chase has photographed for Nike, Apple, Columbia Sportswear, REI, Honda, Subaru, Polaroid, Lady Gaga, Red Bull, and many more. He is known for a hyper-kinetic style and an emphasis on sports and portraiture.
CreativeLIVE, where he is CEO, is an online learning platform that broadcasts live, high-definition classes to more than 2 million students in 200 countries (!). All classes are free to watch while live and can be purchased for later viewing. They are amazing. Teachers include Pulitzer Prize winners, business luminaries, and beyond. Check them out here.
This is my first video podcast test, and I’ve also included a transcript of this episode for my hearing-impaired friends (Click here: Chase Jarvis – Tim Ferriss Show – Transcript). Hope you enjoy!
In this episode, we explore:
- Chase’s personal story
- The most important choices he’s made
- Common mistakes of “creative” professionals (or people in general)
- How he reached the pinnacle of his industry
- And much, much more…
His lessons and principles can be applied almost anywhere.
