Episode Synopsis

They tell you to “follow your dreams,” but here’s the part they leave out — to reach them, you have to wake up, get out of bed, and stare your nightmares in the face. You can’t tiptoe your way into the life you want. The very things you run from will be the toll booths on the road to your dream. And no one — not your parents, not your friends, not the internet gurus — will slay your monsters for you. That’s your job.Book RecommendationThe War of Art by Steven Pressfield — A must-read if you want to understand why resistance shows up the moment you pursue something important, and how to outlast it.
