Welcome to the Be That 1% Podcast Experience!
In this episode James interviews Chace Spillman on how to stay determined in your pursuit of your vision and the grace it requires along your journey. Also, the struggles of being a visionary and (how when partnering with people) how important it is to find those who align with you. Lastly, we cover how to build a place you don’t want to escape from and we give tons of book recommendations that you won’t want to miss!
James & Chace first met back in 2012 and they connected because they shared the same mindset of having big visions and inspiring others. They’ve remained friends through these past 6 years and always found a way to support one another. Right now Chace is working on building a micro-city/community from scratch in Arizona with his wife Susy. Which we actually went visit on NYE to ring in 2018. We wanted to be away from the city, our phones, and be in nature. It’s a pretty cool place that they’re building and getting to see their vision in action was amazing.
You’ll definitely love this episode guys!
