Summary
Hey friends, Chase here
You put the work in. You make something you're proud of. You hit publish… and then? Crickets. Tumbleweeds. A handful of likes from your mom and your college roommate.
If you've ever wondered why some creators seem to explode overnight while your (arguably better!) work struggles to get traction, today's episode is for you. Because here's the truth:
Making great work is only 50% of the job. The other 50% — the part no one told you about — is community.
Community is the force multiplier behind every breakout launch, every viral post, every "overnight success." It's the difference between work that disappears and work that spreads.
In today's episode:
- What "the other 50%" actually means
- Why community is the foundation of every long-term creative career
- Exactly how to build yours (step-by-step, online and offline)
Enjoy — and remember: what you give is what you get.

| 0:14.2 | If you are not familiar with my latest book, please check it out. |
| 0:18.1 | I put, gosh, I would say,.75 years of my heartfelt earnest attention in creating |
| 0:26.7 | this book. Robert Green, the best-selling author of the 48 laws of power and other book, |
| 0:31.6 | said the following. Whoever tells you that safe path is the better path doesn't understand how life works. |
| 0:39.0 | Fortunately, Chase Jarvis gets it right and never play it safe. |
| 0:42.2 | Serves as a radically simple blueprint to reclaim our creativity and personal power. |
| 0:48.3 | Again, if you are interested in examining your life and where playing it safe has done you |
| 0:53.4 | wrong and that you realize now |
| 0:54.9 | that maybe that's the riskiest move you can make. If you're curious of how to break free from the |
| 0:59.7 | toxic voices in your head that are holding you back, maybe that hidden attention hijacker that |
| 1:05.1 | silently disrupts your dreams, this book is for you. Again, I just realized here on the one year anniversary, |
| 1:13.6 | this is sometimes happens at Amazon. It is 49% off the hardcover price. So please go check |
| 1:21.0 | it out. If you're new to the book, haven't picked up a copy yet, never play it safe. |
| 1:25.4 | And I put my heart and soul into this book because I realized my whole life was on hold until |
| 1:33.4 | I started taking some risks. |
| 1:35.4 | If this feels like it might apply to you, if you're looking for practical techniques to |
| 1:40.6 | train your attention and unlock your potential, this book is for you. Check it out. |
| 1:45.4 | Anywhere books are sold, never play it safe. Thanks again and back to the show. |
