During a recent trip to Walt Disney World, I found myself reflecting on life as a visionary while sitting by the statue of Walt Disney, known as the Dreamers statue, at Epcot. It really got me thinking about the immense challenges Walt faced and how crucial Roy's support was in overcoming them. The last few months - heck, years - have brought some challenges and personal attacks that really rocked my creative pursuits. Hence the slow down on recording this podcast. This inspired me to highlight the importance of having the right people by our side, especially when pursuing our dreams.

The four reasons highlighted in this episode that can help you on your own journey are:

Unwavering Support in Tough Times
Navigating the Messy Middle
Balancing Imagination with Practicality
Creating Lasting Impact

Who are the people you are surrounding yourself with? Are they moving your closer to your visions or are they holding you back? Make sure to acknowledge your own Roy, or the many people acting as a Roy in your life. Surround yourself with those who truly believe in you. Let their support help you turn your vision into reality.

If this resonates with you, make sure to listen to the full episode. Share it with the people you have in your corner and let them know how they are your version of Roy.

Remember to always embrace your unique spark and connect with those who help fuel your journey!
