In this episode I talk about a promise I made to myself 6 years ago, with my back against the wall, no money coming in and the future very much uncertain. It was a time that, contrary to what it seemed in the moment, would end up changing the trajectory of my life and the way I looked at the world. Years later, with all that in the rear view, it seems apparent that both my personal and professional growth were not remarkable or spectacular, but rather, quite ordinary. My reality today is a consequence of one thing: putting all my chips on the table and promising not to stop. When times are most difficult and uncertain, we should remember that simple premise. The world does not require of you to have it all figured out or ask that a masterpiece be created overnight. Sometimes success is simply hanging on when others would let go. It's trusting yourself to see a finish line that others cannot.
