Summary
Many people, on their deathbed, regret they didn't pursue their ambitions more. In hindsight they did what they felt like they were supposed to do, and didn't live in the freedom to create their own stories.
Jason Russell is not going to be one of those people, and you don't have to be, either.
Jason Russell
As Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer at Invisible Children, Jason Russell led the company's creative vision with an emphasis on the power of storytelling for over a decade. In 2016, he launched Broomstick Engine, a creative agency that is dedicated to using storytelling to inspire movements and real action. Jason is both a work and life partner to his childhood sweetheart Danica, and recently released their book "A Little Radical: The ABC's of Activism". He believes the greatest stories he gets to co-direct are those of his two children, Gavin Danger and Everley Darling.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Welcome to the Dream Big Podcast with Bob Gough. This is your co-host Scott Schimmel and I'm here with the one and the only Bob. Hello Bob. Hey everybody I hope you're having a terrific day. |
| 0:21.0 | Hey Bob, rumor has it you used to be an attorney or you still are how does that how does that |
| 0:25.4 | evidently I have a couple pieces of paper in a file cabinet somewhere that says I'm licensed in five |
| 0:30.7 | states but like I just have not been limited by just what my capabilities are. |
| 0:37.4 | And to say, who's the guy that I am now? |
| 0:40.2 | And I do some other stuff other than law. Well,'s interesting that's why I brought that up because you can be capable of doing something |
| 0:47.0 | but not necessarily made for it. So when you think back on being an attorney, how do you make sense of that was that something you were |
| 0:53.5 | made for something you were capable of doing yeah I think we all change over time like |
| 0:58.0 | when I was uh whatever 26 and graduating from law school, I was made it for the law. |
| 1:05.0 | And actually by the time I was 36, I was having a great time. |
| 1:09.0 | But by the time I was 46, I was thinking, you know what, I think there's some other things that are getting my interest a little bit more and they involved these kids that didn't have opportunities to to learn and to learn how to read and write. |
| 1:24.4 | And so then I started doing the next thing. |
| 1:27.0 | I started just going. |
| 1:28.6 | And the whole idea of this podcast |
| 1:30.3 | is to talk to friends of mine that have been on that adventure to say I know there's |
| 1:35.3 | things I'm capable of and whether you call that a calling or you call that an |
| 1:39.7 | opportunity but whatever it is that you took a next step. |
| 1:44.0 | And so I took mine, I wrote a book, |
| 1:46.5 | and we just gave all the money away, which is awesome. |
| 1:49.1 | And then we started building schools all over the place. |
| 1:52.4 | I think we have them in six countries now. |
| 1:55.2 | So the dream can change. |
