Say Yes, Figure It Out Later. Starting from the Start with Tyler Babin

“It’s impossible to move forward while staying the same”. That’s what motivated Tyler Babin, a 25 year old up & coming filmmaker, who hustled his way into his dream job only to leave it to pursue the riskier thing, an even bigger bet - on himself. I’ve had literally hundreds of requests over the years to have someone on the show who isn’t Richard Branson or Brene Brown or {fill in the blank star}…ie. host... read more ›

On Stage with Gary Vaynerchuk at PhotoPlus

Gary Vaynerchuk and I gave a co-keynote in NYC at Photo Plus Expo. My background is as a creator turned entrepreneur, and Gary’s a born entrepreneur and then realized that creativity was how he was going to take his business to the next level. Unsurprisingly, we both ended up in roughly the same space. Instead of delivering a keynote that showed my own pictures or videos or stories like I’ve done at Photo Plus in the past,... read more ›

My Guy Knows His Sh*t: The #AskGaryVee Book Review is HERE

You guys know, if I share something -- a product, a service, an idea, a CAMERA -- it's sure to be something I believe in. Hell, I've even been been paid lots of money to represent brands and gear before but I've only considered things I ACTUALLY USE AND BELIEVE IN. I've spent a decade or more building your trust - and that's too valuable for me to gamble with in an instant. This episode... read more ›

Get Off Your Ass & Get Noticed with Gary Vaynerchuk on #cjLIVE [re-watch]

What a way to end 2013 for chasejarvisLIVE. The show was amazing. Gary V brought the heat to discuss how you can break through the noise of the internet and get your work noticed.

I've done a bunch of stuff with Gary like this, and this, and have wanted to have him on #cjLIVE for... read more ›

I Will Give You $50,000 + a VIP Trip to NYC + I’ll Be Your Mentor For Life

chase jarvis mentor build a business shopify
I'm not much known for just dipping my toe in the water. And this is no exception. "It's gotta be real money and real access" I said. "How about $50,000 cash, plus a trip to NYC to receive your mentorship and spend some quality time with you." "Um. DEAL." An that's how it went down on the phone with my friends at Shopify, the powerful e-commerce website solution that allows you to sell... read more ›

SXSW advise this panel chase jarvis
As we artists continue to be forced to become entrepreneurs in our own right (see this episode of #cjLIVE with Zoe Keating), all things entrepreneurial are of interest to me... How can we channel our creative stuff into thinking into light, fast and hardcore focus like most startups are forced to think. The correlation is not a perfect one, but it's expressly relevant to us creatives. It's relevant for me not only in... read more ›
