(Hi. I’ve been working my buns off making a new website where the Heartful Podcast will live permanently, but for now, here we are. You can always find new episodes every Thursday in iTunes, spotify, and soundcloud.)
 
Wow, wow. My guest for this episode is someone i’ve admired for a long time and getting to talk to him about something we both care so deeply about–creativity + answering your creative calling–was a thrill I’m so excited to share with you.
 
Chase Jarvis is an artist, an entrepreneur, an innovator and a creator of so many incredible resources and the work he’s doing in the world is spreading change i am just stoked to get behind. He started out as an action sports photographer, photographing campaigns for brands like Apple, Nike, and Red Bull, and then he created an app called Best Camera which was the first photo app to share images to social networks, and he’s the founder of CreativeLive which is an online learning platform for all kinds of creativity with billions of minutes of free streaming video–CreativeLive was the biggest resource i used when i was first starting out in photography, i can’t even quantify how much i learned there. This whole big list of chase’s accomplishments? It’s just scratching the surface of his innovations so this episode is gonna be a game changer m’friends.
 
In this episode you’ll learn:
-Chase’s memorable, tangible way to distill the creative process (use this whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck!)
 
-why your creative path is a compass, not a map (and why that’s way more fun)
 
-how to know when to champion your ideas as an innovator and when to let them go
 
-the surprising truth about accomplishing huge things creatively

 

Tag us both on ig @chasejarvis and @brookebschultz and let us know what your biggest takeaway is!

HI oh my gosh I can’t even write straight because I’m so freaking thrilled to bring you four more episodes of the Heartful podcast! If you have an iphone, you can subscribe and download via itunes, but for all you non-iphone peeps I’ve included the episodes here until they become available in stitcher (prob within the next week.)

THANK YOU so much for your feedback and excitement! It means the world to me. Truth be told, sharing in this way was a new frontier of vulnerability for me and I had a rockin’ vulnerability hangover for a good while after releasing the first episode, so hearing that it is resonating and landing with you is exactly what it’s all about for me. Knowing that some people won’t feel it, lots won’t listen, but the ones who need to hear it will find + be impacted. Worth every butterfly fluttering in my stomach.

Let’s talk REVIEWS and sharing. Because these puppies are huuuuge, both to me and on itunes–since the podcast is mostly a one-way conversation I’d LOVE to hear your feedback (like, double triple quadruple love). So if you share (you can screenshot the podcast and share in your instagram stories, tag me @brookebschultz!) and/or leave a review on itunes, you get special treatment! Top secret fun for you my friend.

Episode 2: How to get started with your creative thang

Episode 3: How to stay creative when you’re in a rut

Episode 4: Why you can’t afford NOT to go after your dreams!

Episode 5: Perfect is the enemy of good: how to stahp waiting + make rad stuff

P.S. Don’t forget peeps who share + leave a review in itunes get secret special treatment!

HI!

I’m lots-more-exclamation-points-than-i’m-allowing-myself-to-use EXCITED for this. It’s a podcast. One where we dig into what it means to live a wildly creative, fulfilling life. The first episode is right here right now! Bunches more to come, like, really soon.

So Brooke, is this a photography podcast?

Not exactly. While I will be making lots of references to photography and applying the concepts to photography, this podcast is for anyone who wants to up their creativity whether in life, business or art. If you want to start painting but haven’t been able to get yourself to do it, this is for you. If you are a photographer but you’re burnt out, it’s for you. If you want to create a life you are 100% in love with, it’s for you too boo! Creativity applies to everything we do–as we’ll dig into in the first episode wink–so yeah, a fancy spin way of saying this is for everyone. (except mean trolls and people who hate fun. sorry, you out.)

How often do episodes come out? Can I get it on iTunes?

Episodes will be released every Thursday for the first season, and you’ll be able to subscribe and access on iTunes in the very near future (apparently iTunes has to like, approve you. So we’re just waiting for the powers that be.)

But why did you even make a podcast? Who even cares?

Alright so this one is the little voice inside my own head, haha. After interacting with lots of creatives through my workshops and retreats and conferences I’ve attended and presented at, all the way down to dinner with creative peeps–I’ve found that there is a LOT that goes into living a creative life, and that it requires a strength and subtlety that I wanted to address. Especially for multi passionate people like me who have a TON going on and want to make time for their creative selves alongside the mountains of motherhood and other responsibilities. I am super pumped about the idea of more people doing the creative work they long to make, so this is an inspiring shove in the bum to get moving + do what you’re made to do.

So without further ado, episode one!

Show notes for Ep 1: Who even cares about creativity?

Welcome to the first episode of the Heartful Podcast! Since we’re digging into what it means to live a wildly creative life, let’s first talk about WHY that even matters, what creativity is, and what happens when we don’t create (hint: it’s bad news yo.) Plus I share my top 3 reasons to create your life on purpose!
