episode 5: You Have to Work Through the Negatives! | Bob Lasken
We all have been through some form of adversity in our life, and sharing our stories is so important. Bob Lasken did just that: share what he’s been through and how he’s gotten through it all, which is moving. Through Lasken, we learned to not sulk or dwell on the negatives and instead, keep moving forward.
We also learned a lot about building a community of good and motivational players. We would love to have more people around us like his childhood friends and teammates. Those are the type of people who will motivate and inspire us to better our craft—and hopefully, we can serve as some inspiration, too.
