If you follow me on Instagram, or you happened to be walking through Times Square yesterday, you probably saw my face on a billboard.

That's right – I put myself on a billboard in Times Square. It was actually an advertisement for this podcast. We're coming up on nearly 10 million downloads, so I figured, why not celebrate?

It's not lost on me that my face was on a billboard in Times Square, across the street from the cubicle I used to sit in for 8 years. The cubicle I dreamed in and desperately plotted to get out of.

In today's episode, I'm sharing how it all went down.

There is immense power in choosing yourself. In cultivating a vision, working your ass off to see it through, and keeping blinders on all along the way.

Wherever you are today, I hope you realize that your biggest adventures are up to you. Nobody is coming to hand anything to you (or me) on a silver platter.

Take the risk.
Do the thing.
Make the decision.
Blow yourself up.
Decide.

If you don't, who will?
