Writing Your Story
Joyce Maynard
Jason Silva on synthesizing wildly disparate ideas, working as a one-man band, and pairing heady philosophy with tactical career advice.
There's a common misconception that artists have a monopoly on creativity⊠But the very act of making wavesâno matter the careerâis a creative one. The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show is an exploration of creativity, self-discovery, entrepreneurship, hard-earned lessons, and so much more. 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.
To say that Jason has a lot to say would be the understatement of a lifetimeâheâs a sponge for information with a rare talent for absorbing information and ideas from wildly disparate sources, then synthesizing them into something distinctly his own. He also has the rare and incredibly valuable ability to operate at multiple altitudesâ in both the incredibly abstract realm of philosophy, metaphysics and so forth and in the here and now, pairing all that with really tactical, pragmatic thoughts on how to put this stuff to work in your own life â how to get your career off the ground, maximize your creativity, and get yourself in the right headspace.
If youâre familiar with Jason then you know heâs an incredibly unique human. And if youâre not, then Iâll do my bestâ but you really just need to check out his work. Heâs a brilliant and insanely insightful creator whose work sits at the intersection of philosophy, personal development and film much like my own work. You may know him as the host of Nat Geoâs âBrain Games,â from his short film series âShots Of Aweâ or his show âOrigins.â Itâs really tough to put a label on his work, so instead of trying Iâm simply going to echo his words â he calls them âespresso shots of philosophyâ and while thatâs a bit of a mouthful itâs also a very accurate characterization.
