I live by hard work + hustle -- they are some of the key elements to my success and the successes of so many of my peers... but so is recovery. One cannot live at 100mph. One cannot ALWAYS be on a diet, be in peak performance. Rest is mandatory. We either choose to find it in appropriate doses OR our bodies an our lives will choose it for us (crash and burn, get sick,...

Calling all maker geeks, photo geeks, and audiophiles - this one is for you. Yes yes, I regularly champion experience over stuff, but the reality is also true that we creators use tools to create. As such, in today's #cjRAW I shine a bright little light on 3 tech tools that caught my eye. One for the geeky geeks, one for the photo geeks, and a third for the audiofile / video geeks. Glowforge When...

I go deep on some, quick on others, but tell me in the comments below or on social that I'm adding value... And of course feel...

HA! You asked for another #cjRAW behind-the-scenes photo/video shoot...and so I'm DELIVERING! That's right, in this episode of #cjRAW, I take you on location to photograph SERENA WILLIAMS, ROGER FEDERER and half dozen more of the BEST TENNIS STARS IN THE WORLD (while shooting a campaign for Wilson Tennis). Working smoothly with pro athletes or celebrities or otherwise fancy people on set is under-recognized, but highly valuable skill. Put bluntly - it is almost always...

Hey friends - Happy Holidays! It's the day after Thanksgiving here in the states, and I'm getting some much needed family & friend time. I was up late last night and I made a video in the dark by myself. Just a little rant I'd like you to watch and consider and share. As we head into the holidays, I'm seeing all the consumerism messages everywhere. Above all, it makes me think about something I...

I was crushed when I heard about the Paris attacks. My heart and mind go out for everyone affected. Ugh. For those who've been following awhile, you may know that I lived and worked in Paris for a few years. It's a place I'm still deeply connected with ... close friends, regular vacations and visits, deep memories, and a place whose community we will always belong. When tragedies like these happen, there is the horror....

Hey friends - Time is flying. We're already at episode 10 of the new #cjRAW, and frankly speaking, I'm just getting warmed up. Boom. Onto this week's episode where I'm AGAIN answering YOUR questions, just like Episode 02..AAAAANNNNDD.... While selecting questions for this episode, I noticed more and more questions coming in were starting with "Hey Chase"... So that got me thinking ... what if you/everyone just tags their questions with #HeyChase it'll be easier...

Photo geeks -- this one's for you. Yes the new #cjRAW series covers a lot of territory -- from how I taught myself French, why I've come together with a bunch of people to build CreativeLive, to why I meditate, to my morning routine and everything in between...but I'm also aiming to maintain the soul from which this series was originally born... and that's photography. #NeverForget LOL I've already dropped episodes featuring shooting in wet...

Hey friends --- quick blog post coming to you from NYC. Just wrapped an episode with my man Gary Vaynerchuk. Episode 154... wowza. I'm sure you remember him from one of my most popular #cjLIVE episodes back in 2013. It was great to connect. Thanks for having me on the shoooooow! Here's a brief recap of the Q&A: Q: If I pursue what I think my passion is, but don't come close to achieving what...

PROBLEM: I can't count how many times I've seen this classic scene: you've walked away from your gear bag, not paying close attention and someone goes to move it and OOPS ... the bag LOOKED closed, but it was actually still open and now sh*t is going everywhere. You've got $2,000 lenses bouncing on the concrete.. SOLUTION: Here's an very simple tip that will increase your on-location camera bag kung fu skills and make sure...
