Knowing and seeing what’s possible is the first step to making it come true. 

For Rachel Downey, Founder and CEO of Share Your Genius, it was discovering that it was possible to run a business at make time for her daughter simultaneously. 

Rachel sits down with Joe and Reid on this episode of the 1,000 Stories podcast to tell the story of how the idea of Share Your Genius came to her on her hospital bed, just after having her daughter, and how her vision for the company played a role in its growth. 

She also talks more about her non-linear career path, deciding what to be great at, learning how to dream, and more. 

Her experiences as a mother and a founder can help you realize that it’s possible to build a reality that matches what you want once you’ve committed to making it happen.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. You can love the process of seeing your visions come true but don’t let it obscure the reason why you’re doing it in the first place.

2. Strengthening your dreaming muscle is essential to lead your business successfully. 

3. Thinking you're good enough and deciding you can be great at something are two different things; you need the latter to really make a difference in your life.
