"Think about the next big risk you want to take. The thing that makes you feel like your stomach is doing a backflip and you may shit your pants. The one that's terrifying to you and you've been holding off on because you don't think you're ready or you're afraid of the no or having the door slammed in your face. I want you to think what's the worst thing that can happen if you decide to take this risk?" - Me!

Rejection stangss honey, but our avoidance of rejection can be the most limiting thing crushing potential ideas and dreams. In this solo episode of Sway Them In Color, I share a personal story of how I was rejected from the singing competition The Voice in an audition in New York City and the key 3 things you must do to build a tolerance to getting rejected on the path of chasing your dreams and goals. If you want to do big things, you’ll have to get comfortable with facing some rejection, because there’s nothing in this damn world worth pursuing without some risk and potential rejection attached to it. I also sing a few times during this episode so if you want to hear a remixxx and experience me singing four part harmony with myself because I’m a damn fool, take a listen.
