Summary

They discuss the importance of having a dream and how it starts in our heads, but it is only when we write it down that it takes life.

The Importance of Discomfort

Discomfort is often seen as a negative thing, but in reality, it is a sign that something is growing. Just like how trees grow stronger when they face disruptions that force their roots to go deep.
