Description
Visionaries live in the tension of what is + what could be.
As creatives, we either over-think and never take the jump towards pursuing the life we really want, or give up when the middle doesn't look like what we thought.
This podcast is a safe space for dreamers, visionaries, and creatives from all different fields of work, walks of life, and upbringing to share their stories of pursuing dreams, taking risks, and the importance of vision when your present doesn't match the future you want.
