This question hit me in the chest.
I was sitting in an Austin coffee shop last week when I flew in for a seminar
Thus shirt reminded me of my vision
It helped me โre-memberโ
Who I am
Why Iโm here
Most of us in the arts were trained to
be โrealisticโ
dream within limits
distill down somehow
or hide the part that might sound too
big,
audacious,
just too much.
Every great performance,
Every great piece of art
changed a culture
Every great artist that showed up, started with a dream that made someone uncomfortable
My dream?
To rebuild the performing arts from the inside out
โ by making healthcare for artists as normal as rehearsals
โ turning longevity into infrastructure
โ creating a system where no artist burns out for someone elseโs agenda or budget
Itโs big.
Itโs never been done before
Itโs a little scary to say out loud.
And thatโs how I know itโs timeโฆ
because discomfort is the nervous systemโs way of saying, โyouโre expanding.โ
So hereโs my challenge to you:
โฉ Whatโs a dream youโve been shrinking to make others comfortable?
โฉ What vision feels so big you can barely name it?
โฉ And what might happen if you said it out loud anyway?
