I've been scared of going to the dentist my entire life. Childhood visits usually ended in full blown tears and panic attacks. As an adult, the same fear remained. A recent dental emergency that I COULD NOT avoid made me realize how much this fear (and many other fears) can be crippling and causing me more harm than good. While avoidance may be short-term gratifying, its long-term effects are REAL. On this episode, I dive into how conquering this fear of getting my wisdom teeth pulled has really caused a shift in my perspective on community, personal strength, goal-setting, and what it takes to put your dreams in drive. I hope you listen and take away a nugget (or two) that can help you along your own journey!

Listen in as DJ David Victor shares the story behind his creative career. From viral social content to a thriving DJ career and full-time job in tech...how does he do it all?
How many times has a sick DJ mash-up made you stop in your tracks and just vibe out? That's what happens when I hear a DJ David dance mix. I can't remember how I first stumbled across his content on social media, but once I did, I was hooked and have been following his growth ever since. It was a pleasure to have him on the podcast to talk about the the story behind his viral dance parties (Club 1BD), social media success, and balancing his creative career alongside a full-time job.
Often referred to as the life of the party, David has lived up to his name from behind the turntables. He’s an eclectic, charismatic and New York Times Featured DJ, whose personality lights up a room as much as his sets do. His knack for reading the crowd and his exceptional mixing skills make his sets stand out - and of course, memorable.
I wanted to talk to David about the story behind Club 1BD - but also understand a little more about HIM and how he’s managing and juggling it all. From his early upbringing attending an elite high school, balancing a full time job, DJ'ing at private events - and also running a thriving event community. It's a lot, but it's possible.

Would you believe if I told you I had one of the un-sexiest jobs at Princeton University?
Listen in as I share how working in the dishwashing room of the dining hall during my Freshman year at Princeton University turned out to be one of the biggest blessings of my life.
So many times, we think we can't fall in love with a job we "hate" - but oftentimes those awkward, uncomfortable, un-sexy jobs are the ones that teach us the most and set us up for success later in life.
I reflect on all that I learned during my year in the dining hall, and what the takeaways are for me (and you dream drivers) almost 15 years later.
TLDR: How My Unsexy Princeton Job Taught Me the BIGGEST Life Lesson
