The Paradox of Creative Freedom: How to Embrace Constraints

Let's dive into a paradox that's been on my mind lately: the idea that in a world of boundless creative freedom, we can sometimes feel utterly... stuck. It's like standing in front of a canvas that stretches endlessly in every direction, and feeling overwhelmed about where to place that first brushstroke. Sound familiar?

What's often missing from the equation, according to New York Times bestselling author... read more ›

Why We Need to Talk About Failure with Amy Edmondson

Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Steve Jobs... humanity has seen quite a few failures over the years. But history doesn't remember them for their missteps - it's for what they accomplished in spite of all else.

Consistency is the heartbeat of mastery. As artists, our journey is not always filled with explosive moments of inspiration or epiphany. Nope, there are days—maybe even weeks—when ideas simply refuse to flow. It's like waiting for a bus that never seems to arrive, endlessly hoping for a glimpse of movement on the horizon. But guess what? It's during these challenging times that cultivating consistency matters the most. Why Consistency Matters in the Creative Process Why... read more ›

How to Make Money in An Economy That Hates You with Chris Guillebeau

Author Chris Guillebeau and Chase Jarvis sit on a couch
To say the world today is uncertain would be an understatement. Almost nothing's guaranteed, and it seems like new disruptions to the status quo emerge every day. While our parents might have had the luxury of only worrying about how the rise of rap might impact their kids' future, our generation lives in a much different reality. The economy. Artificial Intelligence. Global conflict. Evolving standards of work. Pandemics. Cybercrime. The only certain thing there is... read more ›

How To Do Sh*T Your Way (Not Theirs)

A while back—having grown my business to somewhere around the $25 million in annual revenue mark and still growing at 40% year-over-year—an investor looked me straight in the face and said, with a head tilt and a shoulder shrug, that the business growth I was killing myself for “just wasn’t that interesting.” Wait, what?

The Art of Good Enough: How to Overcome the Perfectionism Trap

For some, the idea of being a perfectionist is desirable. "I'm so disciplined that it's a problem," says the person who wants you to respect their hard-working attitude. But for Thomas Curran, a man that has taught psychology at the London School of Economics for years, it's a trap.
