Notes From Mentors #1

Original work
This sentence didn’t arrive as inspiration.
It arrived as friction.
It came from a mentor at a distance. Andy Frisella. Not someone in the room, not someone checking in. Just a line that keeps resurfacing when the stakes get higher and the room gets quieter.
“Dream so big people think you’re crazy.”
That phase matters more than the win. The part where the vision doesn’t translate yet. Where the numbers don’t justify it. Where explaining yourself would be easier than continuing, but explaining would also cheapen it.
The work reflects that moment.
Heavy. Uncorrected. Deliberately unresolved.
The lettering isn’t neat because certainty rarely is. The texture isn’t refined because growth isn’t linear. It’s not trying to motivate you. It’s there to sit with you while you make decisions other people would avoid.
This piece isn’t for admiration. It’s for alignment.
It belongs in spaces where long-term thinking happens. Where comfort is questioned. Where the future version of you has more authority than the current consensus.
