Good evening Rich and Chase Only one hour fifteen minutes in. However cannot convey enough how much I needed to hear this shared conversation, this evening. Don't really have the words for this platform right now to describe how crazy (not in a good way) my recent career jump is turning out to be. Yet another scary time, failing in the most fundamentally sign of our 'tiny' times way. Me thinks! Just know a whole lot of stuff (again not the good stuff) repeating and unfolding right in front of me right now, within my professional world of nursing. Lessons absolutely being learned in real time within my very very recently new workplace, just know I need to find some almost it seems impossible solutions. To re build caring in all it's dimensions back into our nursing. Long story very short! Truly grateful for you. Again sanity sensemaking brain gym. Thank you. 💜

[@RE71476AD]

Rich, I will be forever grateful that I accidentally came across your ultraman book 18 months ago and it has changed my life for the better in every aspect, culminating in running a 100 mile race last saturday finishing in 11th place (top 8pc). This was with no running prior and 43 years alive. I read your blog 'time to man up' frequently and am working through Julia Camerons book, The Artists Way (have you had her on your podcast?). Working in finance for 15 years ruined my brain and body and am currently in the middle of transforming back to the creative version of myself I lost. Looking forward to your next book. What is the subject of it? Joe

[@richroll]

Incredible stuff Joe. What a story! Keep telling it. Julia has been on my list forever. It will happen at some point. Keep us all posted. Just the beginning!

Fantastic conversation. Thanks for addressing the discomfort and struggle that coincides with taking risks.

Thank you!

Been waiting for this, just got his new book on pre-order and read the first chapter snippet last night. And I’m buzzing for the release this Thursday. Love the idea of the seven levers and how to incorporate this into making a new shift in my creative itch I’ve had for 4 years, this feels like the best advice to steer me straight and get out of my own way. Came across Chase after his last appearance on the show around 5 years ago and bought Creative Calling which was awesome. Can’t wait to dive in. Thanks guys 👌🏼

[@richroll]

It’s a great book. I think you’ll find it very helpful and engaging-also a very breezy read despite the density of information

Thank you Tracy. Can't wait to hear what you think!

This was such an important discussion, thank you to RR and Chase for covering what are amongst the most important topics of our time. One small quibble was RR seemed to speak over and add really long commentary at times. Sometimes these added to the discussion, sometimes they detracted, but it gave an impression of competing for airspace at times.

You have to outsource the things you don’t find enjoyment in. There are many people out there that do find enjoyment in those jobs/positions. Once you do that, you will become much more productive with dramatically less stress.

[@james2450]

I’d love to believe every word of it. I’m not precious about how others perceive me, but the financial risks of trying something new in your career are real. If I choose to leave a job I’m very good at, respected and trusted by my peers, not to mention well paid, and I take risk founding a new business which lights me up inside and feels more aligned to who I am and what I want out of life, then the financial risks are far greater than staying put. My chances of not being able to pay the mortgage are definitely higher. It feels disingenuous to say that staying put is more risky than going out on a limb. If you can take career risks based on what your gut is telling you then that’s already a position of privilege.

[@meharmon]

@@ChaseJarvis I'm sure I will. I bought it earlier and plan to catch parts of the live launch in a bit. While I'm writing, I wanted to say that I hope that your mother is getting better and that you have all the support you need. For the last 7 years, I've been a full-time caregiver for my parents, and now mother. You might be happy to hear that I'm turning this experience into a business to foster villages, or care / supportive communities, for and by neighbors, who I feel are a must for a sustainable response to our country getting sicker and lonelier while trending older.

I don’t see enough diversity in this podcast which is making me rethink following and subscribing. Please add more diverse voices.

[@shaul.b2464]

As being said in the video, it's much easier to tackle the obstacles along the path when you have a sense of direction, you know what is it that you want and your mission is. But what if the only thing you know is that your current path is not aligned with you? Does Chase explain in his book how to try to find your path?

[@gwenritch]

I’m good at making excuses why I can’t move forward at 63. A retired artist sitting with brush in hand, tired and can’t get motivated or inspired to figure out which direction go or how to put one foot in front of another..am I too old, no? But my tiredness says yes…security nope, one day at a time. I’ve listened to so many of these talks…and it’s still not sinking in to motivation to get on it….the lie…yup

[@richroll]

Stop waiting for motivation. The key is to just ACT. Just move the brush. One simple stroke to break the pattern. Mood follows ACTION. Everything else is just a STORY you are telling yourself. A story that isn’t true. Start telling a new story.

[@RE71476AD]

Old, young, youth, senior, pensioner, etc...society's labels followed by society's expectations of those labels. I am going to ignore them. You are not old nor young....just alive. Enjoy it!

[@ChaseJarvis]

There's no such thing as runners block. You just run. Same with art. Like Rich said - just start moving your paintbrush. Show me the crappy work - a lot of it - and i'll show you a successful painter

[@soniareimannova6083]

Rich Roll is very inspiring and generally speaking his guests/episodes are amazing. But this one was really shallow. Or Jarvis did a really bad job at getting the message across. It's just so not okay for the, by the general standards, wealthy to claim that their philosophy 'sky is the limit' is the way to live. I wish the so-called gurus would stop telling people that it's only in the flight or fight mode that we can thrive, that only through hardships and risks can we grow. I wish they would stop advocating the trite 'get out of your comfort zone' so much just because it's worked for them. What's wrong with the comfort zone for god's sake? I mean yes, sometimes we need to get out of it but for some being there is very beneficial too. I didn't watch till the end, it really fell on deaf ears in my case, but I wish I could hear some valuable ideas - for example about taking calculated risks. It's pathetic for someone with great success to be advocating this 'follow your dreams and risk it all just so that you prove something to yourself' philosophy. Yes, I am an advocate of continuous learning, growing, trying new things, especially if you are young you need to explore and get out of the prescribed societal modes. I agree with that. Yes, if you want to succeed, you need to get out there, be proactive and not settle for less. Yes, work with fear and take action to move forward. Be creative, follow your heart and passion. Learn about yourself, keep looking for inspiration and your unique path. This is all very true and important! But stop telling people that comfort zone is bad and playing it safe is bad too. Sometimes it isn't. I can learn, grow, develop and thrive in my comfort zone too. My comfort zone is a safe space which allows me some peace of mind and some quiet that I too very much need to be able to live my life gracefully and productively. Oh these individualistic Americans who climb the highest mountains, defy challenges, go to extremes, break rules, reinvent the wheel, disrupt tranquility and the natural rhythms for the sake of some impossible grandeur. They are so full of themselves and should really dumb it down a little and realise that it's possible to live simply, humbly, modestly and still enjoy the fruits of such an existence. For someone walking a dog in the forest and returning to a book at night is just the way to be. No, comfort zone ain't bad. But people who make money on selling the idea that it is are. Just the title of this new book using the word 'never' is so absolute and unattractive, offering very little space for contemplation, diversity of ideas and approaches. Guess the advice I am giving to myself is to never buy this book. Yes, Jarvis is charismatic but that's where the appeal ends for me. I am not impressed by his philosophy at all. PS: I too am sorry to hear about Jarvis' mum. I hope all will be well.

[@obar1000]

Respect to you for articulating this and putting it out there. I think there’s a Buddhist concept that the thing that bothers you the most is your teacher. It’s the lesson to learn about yourself.

[@Kellysher]

This really struck a nerve for you. With respect, I offer this perspective on what comfort zone might mean. I’m 62. I consider myself a lifelong learner too. I played it safe intentionally. Worked my way into a corporate job without a college degree for the salary, benefits, and safety. Took care of aging parents and in-laws, as well as a spouse who survived Ovarian cancer. I’ve learned time is our only real commodity. As I approach retirement, I’m finally in a place to do something for me too. Getting out of my comfort zone means carving out TIME to pursue my passion with Nature photography. Want something different, do something different. I’m working on getting out of my comfort zone by: getting up early to journal, by not watching as much TV, by not doom scrolling in the evening, by practicing gratitude, by trying new healthy recipes. I’m not quitting my job or planning on climbing any mountains. I’m just intentionally trying to imagine the next chapters in my own book of life. I’m getting his book from the library. I’m sure I can apply something to my life. I wish you happiness and peace in your own journey.

[@soniareimannova6083]

​​@@obar1000 Thanks. It actually doesn't bother me at all. I just don't find this concept genuine. That's all. And I can honestly say that because I have read Jarvis' blog a bit and I found it that he is capitalizing too much on something I'd simply call a series of less promising decisions. We all find some people genuine and some not. I don't like absolutes and when people capitalize on them. Ellen Langer, Rich Roll's guest has taught me not to believe absolutes. Let's just say I trust those people who don't sell themselves so hard. That's all. But it doesn't bother me and I think these self-proclaimed experts on life and how to live it because it worked for them need to hear it too. That's why I commented. Otherwise, trust me, I totally understand the concept of getting out of your comfort zone as it got me where I am today too. Peace✌️

[@soniareimannova6083]

​@@Kellysherthanks and to you too. Nope, it wasn't a knee-jerk reaction. I just didn't want to play it safe and decided I'd challenge the concept. Also, the talk was really devoid of essence and more to the point ideas. Anyways, today, everyone can sell what they want. And I just expressed my opinion. No emotional charge whatsoever, just offering a contrasting view. Wishing you a blessed journey too. Those small steps seem like the perfect way towards a more conscious existence. Keep it up. Peace ✌️

[@ChaseJarvis]

[@Connief1990]

Seeing alot bot accounts in the comments... 🤔..

[@RE71476AD]

Is there a gender aspect to this? Generally, and evolutionary, taking risks, looking over the horizon, pushing limits over the max, is more prevalent amongst men, though many woman also exhibit this behaviour (e.g. Courtney Duawalter). Is this behaviour something that is more natural to men, particularly young men? Further, is the culture of playing it safe more of a recent phenomenon? If yes to both, it raises Scott Galloway's views on the oppression of young men. This dampens the risk-taking tendencies of youths, hence turning our culture into playing it safe. In turn, society does not and has not progressed much in the last 20 years, at least in a more healthy direction, IMO.
