Chase Jarvis - Creative Calling

09/15/19 • 44 min

Chase Jarvis is an award-winning artist, entrepreneur, and named one of the most influential photographers of the past decade. His commercial campaigns included clients such as Apple, Nike, and Red Bull just to name a few. He created Best Camera – the first photo app to share images to social networks. On his podcast Chase Jarvis Live, Chase digs into what makes some of the world’s top creative entrepreneurs, artists, and authors tick. He’s the Founder & CEO of CreativeLive, where more than 10 million of you around the globe learn photography, video, design, music and business from the world’s top creators and entrepreneurs.

In this episode we explore Chase’s personal evolution as a creative and entrepreneur culminating in writing his new book Creative Calling. We follow the through line of what he’s learned about the value of creativity from the thousands of leaders and experts he’s spoken with all over the world. Hear what his 2nd grade teacher Ms. Kelly said that jolted his creative identity, and the tragic loss that brought him back to it. We discuss what happens when you begin making decisions with your intuition or gut instead of your rational brain and what Chase means by action over intelligence. Learn about his IDEA framework for the creative process, why the A ‘Amplify’ step is the least understood, and why participating in community, no matter big or small, is the key to success. Chase explains life’s two arcs of acquisition and contribution and we find out why CreativeLive indeed exists.

Benjamin Von Wong - Unforgettable Social Impact

Benjamin Von Wong's work lies at the intersection of fantasy and photography and combines everyday objects with shocking statistics. It has attracted the attention of corporations, like Starbucks, Dell, and Nike and has generated over 100 million views for causes like ocean plastics, electronic waste, and fashion pollution. Von Wong was recently named one of Adweek's 11 content branded masterminds. He is a motivational speaker and educator whose mission is to help make positive impact unforgettable.
In this episode Von Wong explores what the term Artivist means to him and why since 2016 he’s only done social impact work, including the projects Strawpocalypse, Plastikophobia, and Tallest Closet. He explains why he wouldn’t be where he is today if he didn’t openly share his process via behind the scenes videos to a global audience, many of whom now volunteer to help with his big ideas such as gathering 168k straws off the streets. We talk about leaving a career as a hard rock mining engineer, why he resonates so much with unicorns, and the need for creatives to always readapt as the world evolves around us.
