Okay, what's up? It's Chase. Welcome to another episode of the show. This is a micro show today.

And it is about a sensitive topic. And while it ought not seem controversial, the idea of acknowledging our ambition, I think is unnecessarily,

but wildly controversial. The reality is you have ambitions, right? The reality is that

creative expression as a part of that ambition, creative expression is

as important to human health as exercise and mindfulness. It is literally the way by which we

brick by brick step by step cultivate and create our life. That is an element of

The reality is, though, that you are manifesting your creative power.

The reason you listen to this show, the reason you identify as a creator or an entrepreneur

or curious about those things, that all is for a reason. Now, making work just to maintain

creative abilities, to be more human, that's fine. I am not discouraging that, to be clear. But tapping into

your creative mojo, it feels good. It's like huffing oxygen. I don't know if you've ever

huffed pure oxygen. You actually get a little bit high off of it. It's life sustaining and practical,
