🎙️ "The road less traveled has more grip." - Hef's Dad

Blessings community,

Have you ever experienced a season that made you so uncomfortable you almost called it quits on your dreams, your goals, your efforts? Have you ever manifested a dream and then realized it's not what you thought it'd be? Have you ever had a gut feeling that you needed to pave your own path, even though it came with uncertainties?

Well, if any of those questions resonate with you then you'll definitely enjoy this honest and inspiring conversation with Director of A&R for 10K Projects (a successful, independent music record label), Dilan "Hef" Ames. 
 
Not long ago Hef was at a crossroads in the career of his dreams and almost called it quits but now that he's in a position to look back at that season, he is grateful he reminded himself of his worth, his passion, and his ability to succeed. This experience came with many lessons, all of which we discuss in this episode. 

Some of the other topics we touch on include the importance of being a good person, pursuing a path less traveled, knowing you are enough, trusting the unfolding of your journey, not taking someone else's projections onto you personal, having a purpose, and more.
