Shondra Rhymes started out her 2014 Convocation Speech to Dartmouth by saying, “Dreams are for losers.” I loved that speech and still find myself inspired by it, so I wanted to talk about it in today’s episode.

However, I want to be clear that I never encourage anyone to call anyone else, including themselves, a loser. So, I’m not calling anyone a loser, but our dreams can definitely trip us up.

So, if you’re intrigued by this teaser and why I’m so inspired by this speech even though I don’t condone calling anyone a loser, take a listen to this week’s episode.
