“The biggest returns will be out there in the fog. You have to train yourself to work while being scared. Most people won’t do that. If you can keep moving while feeling uncertain, while being scared, that’s where the biggest returns will be. I have learned this to be true of life and investing.”

– John Burbank, owner / founder of Passport Capital, self-made billionaire, and part-owner of the Golden State Warriors. This was taken from the Dream Chaser interview on the mindset and concepts behind his success.

Last week, on an early morning shoot, the sky embodied the word ‘liminal’. This liminal sky is an in-between sky. Liminal, when you’re not where you used to be and not quite yet where you want to be. You’re in the in-between space. A lot of dream chasing is spent in this space.

It’s good to remember that the sun can’t come up any faster. For Stories Like Us, it’s been our best year. Yet, we often want to hurry along our own dawn sky – hungry for the next season, bigger team, more stories, new storytellers and deeper connections. Those things are coming; yet, for now, we have to hang out longer in this liminal space. Here’s to anyone in that space, leaving the old, heading to the new. The sun will rise.

We’ve been running around from meeting to meeting. It’s a busy season for our company and collective. We have had meetings with heads of film studios and some potential partners who would completely change our business. We don’t get hyped by this anymore. Instead we get quiet, and filled with questions. Number one question: Can we do it?
This picture reminds us of the answer. Every building, every office, every person in those offices once started off as a distant dream to someone else. So keep dreaming, keep chasing. To everyone else feeling the fear, your answer is YES. You can do it. Just start. Let’s get it.
