We usually think of rejection as a bad thing, but it’s a good thing—it’s how you know you’re moving forward, how you get out into the world, and how you grow stronger. Kim Perell has so much wisdom and has changed my life already. She’s going to show us how we can execute on our dreams, tell us it’s possible to achieve them, and share with us the steps to get there.
