Have you ever asked yourself what it means to have a good life?

In this episode of The Align Podcast, Chase Jarvis and I talk about how our agency and our connections with other humans influence our experiences in life. We also discuss the definition of creativity and how we can foster it daily, the importance of movement and play and how our actions can sometimes matter more than our thoughts.

Chase Jarvis is an award-winning artist, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and one of the most influential photographers of the past 20 years.  His expansive work ranges from shooting advertising campaigns for companies like Apple, Nike, and Red Bull; to working with athletes like Serena Williams and Tony Hawk, to collaborating with renowned icons like Lady Gaga and Richard Branson.
