Ep. 206 | Your Dream Will Humble You with Mateo Askaripour
I'm convinced we don't simply choose our dreams \u2014our dreams choose us. They come during the quiet moments of life through nudges and whispers and desires...until they're what we can't stop thinking about.
But then what?
For Mateo Askaripour \u2014he had all the markers of success: making over 6 figures at a start-up, leading a big team, and rising up the ladder.
Until.
Until he faced reality: his dream was to become a writer, a novelist, and he'd do whatever it take to bring it to life.
But it wasn't working as he faced rejection after rejection and had to face himself:
Does he still chase his dream \u2014or go back to safety?
