Chase sits down with the world's top creators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders and unpacks actionable, valuable insights to help you live your dreams in career, hobby, and life.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

This interview has been a long time coming. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably heard me mention Charlie’s book, Play It Away. It has certainly changed my life and it’s why PLAY is one of the 10 habits I do every day for a happy and more creative life. It was great to reconnect with Charlie and I can’t wait to hear how this episode inspires more play in your life.

• The safe path seemed too risky for post-grad Charlie. He shares exactly how he got the attention of his dream employers after repeatedly failing with job boards and careerbuilder.com.
• Play is an essential ingredient for life. You can go your whole life without psychologically needing to work, but your brain needs to play. If you suffer from depression or anxiety, try adding play to your life.
• If you struggle with even knowing where to start playing, taking a look into your play history may help. What did you do for fun when you were a kid?
