Make Your Message Heard with Victoria Wellman Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

What sets memorable stories, presentations, and speeches apart from the ordinary? If you think it has to do with the speaker's innate ability, you'll be surprised to learn that it doesn't.

Fortunately, Victoria Wellman knows how to craft compelling messages and overcome our fear of public speaking. Victoria is the Co-Founder of The Oratory Laboratory, a Manhattan-based boutique creative agency for public speakers. Formerly a journalist, copywriter, producer, a trained actress and voice-over artist, Victoria has crafted speeches for influencers, politicians, entrepreneurs, Olympians, NFL stars, astronauts, rap stars, artists, and activists, and has garnered media attention from The Today Show, Martha Stewart, CNN, NPR, NBC, ABC and CBS News.

Victoria turned author with her newly released book, "Before You Say Anything", in which she details the creative process behind crafting memorable speeches. Giving a speech- or any form of communication, is about synthesizing ideas - which is the core of creativity.

Some tips we discuss:

How to identify ideas you want to share. Creative exploration and experimentation start even before you think of what to say.
Consider your audience. Include them in your narrative. Your message is not a graded monologue but a dialogue
Embed your personal narrative into your message. Originality clicks better with your audience and makes people remember your message for longer.

Enjoy!

Stop Selling Yourself Short Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

Do you ever find yourself downplaying your skills or diminishing your abilities? Are you selling yourself short in your creative ambitions?

On today's show, we get into how acknowledging your ambition will be a crucial unlock for your next chapter.

Sharing your work and putting it into the world is part of the creative process. Creating for the sake of it has value, but at some point, most creators find themselves looking for a way to connect their passion to the world around them.

How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole with Susan Cain Apr 06, 2022

Show notes

Do you typically repress pain, internalize it, and let it damage the way you treat yourself and others? On today's episode of Chase Jarvis Live, I'm joined by Susan Cain. Susan is the author of "Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole," and "Quiet Journal, Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts," which spent eight years on The New York Times best seller list, and has been translated into 40 languages.

Joy and sorrow are eternally paired in this world. So why do we so willingly accept and celebrate one, and try to distance ourselves from the other? Susan encourages our listeners to see their pain, sorrow, sadness, suffering, as their own creative superpowers.

A few main takeaways from the show:

Why humans we play sad songs 5x more than happy songs.
Finding validation and permission to feel pain, move towards it.
The role creativity has in our ability to make something beautiful out of painful experiences

One of the greatest gifts of humanity is the innate ability to take something painful and turn it into an expression of beauty. This expression acts as a positive coping mechanism. When that transformation occurs, we grow through it, and come out the other side with a new understanding of the magic that exists behind painful experiences. There is no shortage of feelings on this journey, but how we use these feelings can make all the difference.

Susan leaves us off with an important message: Seek beauty daily.

The more you look, the more you'll find.

5 Easy Ways to Boost Your Health and Happiness Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

What is the first thing you do when you wake up? If you're like most of us, you go right to the phone, and start scrolling social media, checking emails, responding to texts, etc. All of these things trigger stress responses in the brain, which is not an ideal way to start the day. After learning the hard way more times than I would like to admit, I've landed on handful of foundational daily actions that I've found boost my health and happiness. Health is absolutely the new wealth, and whatever we can do to emphasize it in our life is a step in the right direction. And remember, if miss a day, that's okay. Progress > perfection. What are you waiting for?

Max Lugavere: Can Food Turn Us Into Geniuses? Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist focused on nutrition, fitness, and wellness.

Max's journey to understanding the power food has on brain function began when was helping his mother, who developed Lewy body dementia. He noticed the doctors doing nothing except trying to manage the symptoms- rather than actually curing the disease. He started learning and applying what we are now learning about the science of food and cooking and kicked off a decade-long journey to understand how to prevent cognitive decline.

What he found out was that, "The same steps that we can take that are going to buy us extra years if not possibly decades of cognitive health also improve the way our brains work here and now."

In this episode we dig into:

The why behind a Genius Life came from Max's mom, who developed a rare form of dementia. When the doctors didn't help, he took it upon himself to research everything he could to help his mom battle her early onset dementia to try to help her live the best life she could.
We can use a modified Mediterranean diet and a DASH diet to help our brains through healthy proteins, fruits, and vegetables without a lot of grains to improve our brain health now and to help us lead better lives as we age.
How to use Genius Kitchen to your advantage with shopping tips, cooking tips, and why cooking food at home is so important versus eating out or buying overly processed convenience foods. Cooking is an art, but it's also a social aspect of our lives that brings family and loved ones together.

How to Make Time for Creativity Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

If you told me in my twenties that being rigorous about my schedule would be a major differentiator in the success of my creative work, I would have said, you're crazy. You can't put creativity in a box like that, I thought. In my mind, schedules only confined the creative process. Today, my thoughts on this have completely 180'd, and I firmly believe that setting a schedule can be your biggest ally as a creator. On today's show I break down how your schedule is actually your biggest ally.

Creativity Hates Complacency with Maria Brito Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Career transitions are often bumpy. New processes, different people, and all the energy that goes into building the skills, network and momentum- no wonder why the comfort of a stable career is prevents many people from pursuing their calling. Change isn't easy.

Now imagine you're a working attorney with a promising future and more than a decade of education, testing, and training to get to where you are. That's the scenario my guest on the show today, Maria Brito found herself in. She recalls, "For the years I was an attorney, it was like I had a fake identity." It was clear that law was not her calling.

Fast forward to today's episode, and Maria is now an award-winning contemporary art advisor, author, and curator. She has written for publications such as Entrepreneur, Huffington Post, Elle, Forbes... the list goes on. Complex Magazine named Maria one of the Top 20 Power Players in the Art World. She now teaches creativity courses in companies and, in 2019, she launched "Jumpstart", an online program on creativity for entrepreneurs based on years of research and observation in both the areas of business and art.

The episode is filled with advice for making a career transition, ideas for jumpstarting your creativity and explores how a lack of experience can be an advantage.

Highlights from the show:

While educating clients and creating content isn't directly revenue-generating, Maria describes how a less transactional approach to the art business has been a key component of her success.
Leaving a legacy and being a pioneer: "Anyone can be a pioneer of something if only they let their ideas out, and only if they are willing to execute them."
Creativity is a series of habits, actions and activities. It's not some mystical flow state.
How NFTs and blockchain tech is impacting the conventional art world (there is no longer a clear boundary between digital and physical art)
Taking calculated risks to pursue passion
Being willing to shift
Finding gold at the intersection of two or more distinct domains

There is so much goodness to unpack from Maria.
