Illustration of a person standing at the edge of a high cliff, gazing out over distant mountains under an orange sky, symbolizing contemplation, choice, and risk.
Read from "Never Play It Safe" (pg 11): I kept letting myself get talked out of living my dreams by people who had given up on theirs. And it became a pattern that I repeated well into adulthood. I’d discover something unique and different about myself that I truly loved—go deep into that thing that made me come alive—and then like clockwork I’d put someone else’s idea of what I should be doing above my... read more ›

Hey everybody, it's Chase. Today, we’re diving deep into something that fires me up every time I think about it—lifelong creativity.
