In this episode world renowned cinematographer, Wes Johnson, teaches us about chasing our dreams and overcome adversity. My favorite quote in this podcast is when Wes states, "I know for a fact that it is so much more satisfying to fail miserably pursuing something that you desire then it is to live in the regret of never having tried."  

In this podcast, Wes takes us on a journey of the highs and lows in his life. He shares with us the lowest point in his life, his divorce from his wife of 16 years, and how he came back stronger and found meaning through his suffering. Referring to the importance of adversity in our lives Wes states, “In order to be resurrected, you have to die. And in order to make room for new growth, things must burn.”
