About this listen
I can tell you’re a dreamer – you’re a human. We hope, we imagine, and believe daydreams will be realized. Then lives take shape, ambitions are shelved. What does it mean to be realistic?
Leslie Odom, Jr., became a household name when he originated the role of Aaron Burr in the Broadway sensation Hamilton, a performance that won him the 2016 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. But before he could perform for sold-out audiences in one of the most massively successful shows of all time, Odom had to stop playing it safe and take the risk of a lifetime. Now, with the depth and poetic power he brought to the stage, Odom shares his story in his own voice.
Listen in as Odom recounts his dynamic path to success with sincerity and vigor bound to inspire, motivate, and ultimately, help you believe in your own potential. In his intimate retelling of childhood dreams — finally fully realized — Odom shares insights to lift up listeners and offers concrete actions they can immediately apply to their own lives. Honest and thoughtful, Leslie Odom, Jr., transforms sentiment into success.

Extremely helpful
I have listed to this book several times and it's amazing, and it's beautifully narrated. The real take home for me is the importance of being intentional about what it is you want for your life. It has guided me to enjoy the process of looking at opportunities in my life and taking risks. As well as, helped me to see that failing is not really my fear, it's the shame (and the inability to deal with it) that comes with giving your all and not succeeding. So now this book has led me into some further self-reflection and self-improvement. Can't thank Mr. Odom Jr. enough for his openness and over sunny demeanor throughout the book. Well worth a listen.
