3 Value Bombs

1) Intuition is the most profound and valuable thing that we have and know the least about and use the least.

2) We’re all scared and we’re all conditioned to play it safe but we need to take a chance in order to live our best life.

3) Constraints are there to keep us down but it is actually our guide posts to lean on.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Never Play It Safe.

[1:28] – Chase shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

A lot of people are reluctant to trust their intuition but he believes it is the most profound and valuable thing that we have and know the least about and use the least.

[2:53] – Chase gives an update of what he has been up to and focused on from the last the last 2020 show.

Creative Live Company is a creative platform focused for creators and entrepreneurs that was acquired in Oct 1, 2021. After that year, he took some time for experimentation, inquiry, journey and it produced the book “Never Play it Safe”. Its been a super fun ride and he is now producing a TV show that is a creative rebirth and new chapter of Creative Live.

[6:27] – Chase talks about his book “Never Play ot Safe” and why we don’t need gimmicky new life hacks or “productivity” gadgets and that we already have what is necessary that all we need is to learn to leverage it.

Authors are equipped to write and the goal of writing is to help others, solve their challenges and create freedom in their lives.
Success leave clues. He started uncovering his most successful and massive adventures and failures and found a lot of information there. He unpacked a list of accomplishments, wins and losses of himself and his crew and it turns out that it is very mappable. All the best stuff of our lives is in the other side of our comfort zone, fear, risk and discomfort with not having a good blueprint to get them.
The world is telling us to play safe and stay in our lane and we do not take big risks.
This book is the response that he had of what he might do differently and what he is good at to help others. Regularly accessing all the stuff that is at the other side of our fear is at the heart of this book.
It took him only 11 weeks to write and publish this book which he says is the best book he has ever done.

[17:30] – Karaoke party scenario.

At a Karaoke party, no one wants to take the mic and sing at the beginning but when somebody starts to sing, everyone wants to take the mic and sing. It can be compared to achieving your dreams.
We’re all scared and we’re all conditioned to play it safe but we need to take a chance and this book is a guide to help people live their best life.

[18:50] – Chase talks about constraints.

Constraints are there to keep us down. Not having enough money, not having enough time, not having a better job.
When you study the process of creativity, “constraints are actually our guide posts” as Stefan Sagmeister, a legendary designer once said. Creativity in action is learning to lean on those things rather than describing them as things that hold us back.
There are things we are naturally good at but culture told us otherwise and its this constraints that keep us down. If we can re-wire our brain and learn some basic solution to help us get out of our own way, the world is our oyster.
