Really enjoyed podcasts 9 and 10—particularly the idea of acknowledging the worst that can happen to you and how that can serve as a catalyst to your success.

For years I was always afraid of leaving my full time job and becoming a freelance artist, until I finally asked myself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” The worst case would be that I put forth my best effort to make it work and not make enough money and have to go back and get a full time job.

With that in mind, I knew I would regret it if I never pursued my dream of working from home as a freelance artist, being with my wife and kids every day doing what I love to do. So, I committed to that risk five years ago and am still freelancing today, and it’s even better than I imagined. It’s not always easy, but it is truly a blessing.

It’s like you said—when you boil it down to the worst case, we have nothing to lose. We have our lives and our loved ones and our capabilities. So we need to go for it and reach as high as we possible while we’re still able.

Thanks for the great podcasts. You’re keeping me inspired!

Best,

Tyson
