1935“So a few years ago a friend of a friend was giving me a lift home and she was actually a life coach. We were only together for maybe 30 minutes or so, but we were talking about the future and what comes, when she said something that I’ll never, ever forget.

“This really struck me because it made complete sense. She wasn’t just saying follow your dreams, but she was giving a reason to do so. Because if you follow your dreams you get experience, you get networks, you get contacts and a life path opens that’s tailored to your interests.”
