Update: We are TODAY with renowned author, world traveler and all-around inspiration Chris Guillebeau. My dinner with Chris last night was electrifying and foreshadowed today’s show which promises to deliver the goods on how Chris has accomplished more in his 35 years than most do in a lifetime. Head over to the live page to tune in.
Prepare to have that lightbulb moment for yourself while watching the next episode of chasejarvisLIVE on Wednesday, May 22 becuase my guest is the globe trotting, “self employed for life” hacker Chris Guillebeau. In addition to being all those things plus the founder of the World Domination Summit (most amazing name ever for a creative conference…) he is a best-selling author of The $100 Startup as well as The Art of Non-Comformity. And if all that ain’t enough – just this past April he accomplished a goal that no one in the history of time has done… visit every country in the world by age 35. [a few dignitaries have done it, but nobody of Chris’ ripe age has ever pulled it off]. For a decade Chris has been championing a lifestyle that beautifully aligned with my approach. It goes something like this:
_Stop living the life others expect you to – and start living your own
_Create a life where your time is spent doing things you want to do (it sounds harder than it is, doesn’t take a lot of money, and you already have the skills you need)
_Live a remarkable life in a conventional world
_This is all closer than you really think possible – once you get over the things that scare you
If any of this stuff resonates, then I’d better see you on Wednesday. Over the years, through his remarkable books and friendship, Chris has given me an insane amount of clarity and some hefty doses of inspiration. Take your life back.

Kevin Spacey said on “inside the actors Studio”:
“To wish or to wan`t, thats nothing it`s just desire.
To know what you want, to dedicate every breath in your body… then there is nothing you can`t achive…”
The Spacey quote is not quite right.
Google it both, very interesting interviews.
CHASE: Thank you for one more GREAT episode.
Thank you for this immeasurable gift, fighting your demons to be able to provide art and education for others.

Hey Chase!
That’s terrific! The show is getting better with every episode that goes by. This might be one of the bests after Ramit and Julien smith who totally rocked the show. Chris is one of the few bloggers that i admire a lot. Everyone grab a beer and watch this show. I am sure you won’t regret the time that you will be spending with two of the current generation heroes. Cheers!
$100 Startup, one of the best books EVER. Chris is an inspiration! FYI Chris Wold Domination will be mine. Mwwwahahahah. Keep on the inspiring y’all!
Completely agree with you about the $100 Startup – that book was life changing. I have an entrepreneur crush on Chris!
@Sophie I hear you. I recommend this book to everyone and have bought and gifted many a copy. -twitter @photogher
