S7E8: Tesäen “T” Chavis | Take Up Space

Wednesday, September 10, 2025 • Duration 46:47

On this episode, Geoffrey chats with Tesäen “T” Chavis, Product Manager, Music Promotion and Gen AI Video at YouTube, who shares how generative video tools are empowering artists—and why she measures success by kindness and naps.

From starting college at 15 to leading zero-to-one products (focusing on building something unique and valuable, rather than copying current solutions) at YouTube, T Chavis has always chased possibilities. In this powerful conversation, T details her journey through pharma comms, data-driven marketing at L’Oréal, and product roles at Spotify and Uber before landing at YouTube to revolutionize music promotion with generative AI video.

T explains how creators can treat AI as a “sous-chef,” speeding post-production and unlocking visuals never seen before, while still valuing human craft. She also opens up about imposter syndrome, advocating for yourself in boardrooms, and redefining success around mental health, inclusion, and—yes—epic naps.

T shares:

How Unlock AI video workflows you can try today—no prompt engineering PhD required.
The inside story of building zero-to-one products at tech giants like Google, Spotify, and Uber.
How to combat imposter syndrome
To Redefine success around peace, kindness, and sustainable creativity.

By episode’s end, you’ll have practical tips for leveling up your AI literacy and a fresh perspective on purposeful innovation.

T is passionate about harnessing emerging tech to empower artists, as she champions diversity, inclusion, global travel, karaoke, and the restorative power of a good nap.

As a longtime fan, competing in Survivor was a thrill – one that came with intense challenges, from dehydration, hunger and bug bites on your bug bites. Gabler describes his time on the show as a season of beautiful people that despite the competition brought them all together and created lifelong friends.

Gabler encourages anyone who wants to do it – to go for it – though be prepared for the hardship – physical, emotional and intellectual.

A Doors fan and checklist guy, Gabler believes in writing down your goals, and being dedicated to achieve them. He made the remarkable decision to donate his winnings from Survivor to veteran charities to serve those who serve us.

About This Episode:

I am a huge poker enthusiast. I like poker much more than I am good at it. That is not true of this episode’s guest, American poker player Scott Blumstein.

Outlasting everyone in a week’s plus of poker play, Scott Blumstein won the

World Series of Poker Main Event, a coveted WSOP bracelet and $8,150,000.

He won in dramatic fashion when the Deuce of Hearts landing on the river (which for you non-poker players was one of only 3 cards that could have won him the event).

In this episode we explore Scott’s story and how he went from online player to a poker World Champ.

Not surprisingly his favorite card in the deck is the 2 of Hearts.
