Big dreams rarely come with a roadmap. In this inspiring pep talk, Jacquelyn Fletcher Johnson shares an honest look at what it feels like to chase a dream that's bigger than you know how to accomplish. This pep talk was sparked by a conversation with an entrepreneur determined to keep going despite another setback; hearing the founder of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day admit she used to run around her house yelling “I’m scared!”; and an unexpected invitation to host a future Gateway Gathering & Pitch Fest in an arena. This episode is a reminder that fear, uncertainty, and moments when you want to quit are part of what it takes to build a meaningful life. But so are the surprising synchronicities that appear when you say your dream out loud.
