CANCELED – Chase Jarvis

Do you ever find yourself holding back instead of taking a risk? There can be many reasons for erring on the safe side, as well as barriers that make it more difficult –– or daunting –– to pursue our goals. But Chase Jarvis, award-winning photographer and co-founder of online community and education platform CreativeLive, suggests that the safe path is not necessarily the better one, and that greater fulfillment can be found in building a deeper knowledge of self and facing our fears.

Jarvis, also a bestselling author who hails from Seattle, has spent years engaging in conversation with big-name entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and performers, listening to them share insights into their lives and successes. What he has gleaned from these connections and mined from his own experiences helped shape his new book Never Play It Safe: A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity, and a Life You Love.
