#13: do you believe in magic?
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m calling myself and every other dreamer out. For years, I carried the same vision in my head, replayed the same fantasy, and convinced myself that “dreamer magic” would somehow bring it to life. I could imagine every detail with perfect clarity, but I wasn’t taking the consistent action necessary to turn that vision into reality. I talk openly about how dreamers
