“Are you sure?” That’s what the universe asks the moment you decide to chase a dream. When I pitched over 100 brands, media outlets, and foundations to get London to Taiwan, most didn’t respond. Some flat out said no. And I’d be lying if I said it didn’t sting. But rejection isn’t the end—it’s a redirection. Every no sharpens your vision and checks your conviction.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I pushed through the silence, the doubt, and the discouragement—and how YOU can do the same. You’ll learn the exact mindset, daily rituals, and five key practices I’ve used to build mental resilience and stay grounded in purpose when the path forward feels shaky.

What happens when one brave moment at school turns into a global connection?

In this heartwarming episode, London takes the mic to share how a simple act of confidence—showing his Mandarin video to his classmates—sparked a ripple effect all the way to Taiwan. From schoolyard cheers to 20 families signing up to meet him abroad, London reflects on the power of language, the magic of self-belief, and how even the smallest act of courage can turn into something huge. He’s learning that storytelling opens doors, and that sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do… is share your dream out loud.
