In this episode of Develop This, Dennis Fraise and Mark Perna discuss the importance of building one's dreams at any stage of life. They explore the distinction between interest and passion, emphasizing that while interest can be easily found, passion is cultivated over time through resilience and commitment. The conversation also highlights the significance of engagement and self-motivation in creating a competitive advantage in both personal and professional realms. Mark shares his philosophy of embracing discomfort and daring to dream, encouraging listeners to take actionable steps toward their goals. Competitive Advantage Track  Takeaways You're either building your dream or someone else's. Life really begins when you carve out time for yourself. Interest is something you can trip over; passion is built over time. Show up five minutes early, stay five minutes late, and care. Be so good they can't ignore you. Dare to dream and embrace discomfort. You have all the time that there is; it's how you use it that matters. To stand out, do what others won't do. Say yes, and then figure out how. Inspiring young people is critically important for economic development.
