When you've heard more nos than you can count, how do you have the courage to try again? How do you maintain the belief that your dream is possible? Did you know that the fear of failure or hearing NOs freezes people up to the point that they rather not dream  than risk failing?

Well what if I told you that in order to get to a Yes you have to hear Nos. In order to dream big you must DO despite fear.

On today's episode we have Jason Gibson, Co Founder of Inspire Unity a crowdfunding  platform bringing people together through a cause they love. They started this at 19 and 20 years old, during the pandemic.  He talks about how they started from ground 0, raised money for a cat rescue, children's cancer research and a dog rescue!

You'll learn the power of no, the impact of working with others, and how to find light in the dark.

Este es mi primera entrevista completamente en español con algunas palabras en inglés o como dicen  en spanglish.

- La vaca que inspiró salvar animales de granja. 

- Cómo su co- fundador se convirtió en un amante de los perros

-Cómo la educación es el arma más grande

-Como puedes ayudar y mucho mas

Una de las historias que compartió conmigo sobre una vaca que dio a luz me hizo llorar. Después de 25 episodios, nunca lloré durante una entrevista y esta historia me hizo llorar.
