I'm super pumped to bring you today's guest on The School of Greatness.

I've been waiting years to interview my good friend Chase Jarvis for the podcast, and the stars finally aligned.

Chase is hard to pin down because he's involved in so many awesome things and knows the power of the hustle.

He is not only one of the best photographers in the world, shooting campaigns for brands like Apple and Nike, but also is the founder of CreativeLIVE, the online education company.

He is a sought after speaker and a hugely successful entrepreneur.

But at heart he's an incredible person, a true artist, and one of the most mindful and sincere guys I know.

So when he was in LA recently filming interviews for one of his new projects (which I got to be part of), I finally grabbed him for an interview.

Chase is incredible at breaking down complicated things, like becoming a world-famous photographer, into daily habits and tasks.

We also get into the role of insecurity in art, work, and finding purpose.
