We all dread the day when we receive bad news. For Jeff Bellomo, he received bad news just days before he was to take his bar exam and finally realize his dream of becoming a lawyer. Jeff found out that his month has an aggressive form of cancer, and he asked a surgeon some questions regarding next steps for caring for his mother, “What should I do?”

The doctor was unable to give Jeff the answers he needed, but through the process of caring for his mother, Jeff was able to find his passion and the people he would fight for when he became a lawyer.

Jeff’s story is a lesson and reminder that you must find your passion first, and that it’s only when you find your passion that you can serve people well. We also talk about how fear stops people from truly pursuing their passion.
