Hi, I’m Chuck Pearson. I’m the CEO of Rareview®. My goal with this blog is to navigate the crossroads of Business, Family, and Personal Growth. And—to share photos. I love taking pictures.

I started a creative agency officially in 2002, although it really started earlier as a side hustle. I’ve been at this for over 20 years.

Although I do not consider myself a writer, I find the process of writing helps me think. In my personal life, I journal.

For years I’ve been contemplating the idea of creating a blog. I’ve asked myself “why” a million times (I do not like social media) and I’ve come up with several compelling reasons.

1. It’s a mechanism to reflect on over 2 decades of being a small business owner (e.g. it acts as a professional journal).
2. While I’m no Steve Jobs or Richard Branson, there may be a few nuggets of useful information that someone may find helpful or thought provoking.
3. My children (ages 11, 13, and 15 at the time of this writing) are entering their teenage years. My oldest interned at my agency this summer. I have been thinking about ways to share my journey, successes, and failures with them.
4. It’s for me. There are many reasons why; some very personal. Here’s one—writing regularly is a valuable practice for cultivating persistence.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

- Calvin Coolidge, President (1923-1929)
