Chase Jarvis: Start Creating Your Life - R4R Bonus

On this bonus episode we welcome Chase Jarvis, founder of Creative Live and author of Creative Calling. Co-hosting this conversation alongside Tina is Running for Real team member, Maria Vargas, a longtime follower of Chase's work. Together, the three of us dive into the topic of creativity and how it is interwoven into all that we do, including sports. In this episode we cover…

• Exercising the muscle of creativity and being intentional in practicing it same ways we practice physical exercise.
• Simplifying the complex. Creative Live takes a complex topic such as photography and making it easier for regular people to understand and learn. Running for Real takes a complex topic like running and makes it more relatable.
• On the way creativity empowers us to shape our own lives and environments. Similar to how running changes your body or starting a business changes your mind, creativity give us agency.
• Create before you consume. –Marie Forleo
• Beginnings hide themselves in endings. Chase shares the story of Best Camera App ending and Creative Live beginning.
• Creativity is connecting seemingly disconnected things in a new way.
• A dive into Chase's book, Creative Calling and how we can use it as a toolkit to design our best lives.
