"The Room Where Dreams Are Tested"

Tonight, a room full of dreams was put to the test. Some dreams were celebrated with a phone call. Others were forced into silence. But here’s the truth they don’t show on TV: your dream is no less real just because it hasn’t been recognized yet. Success isn’t always about who gets called first. It's about who keeps calling on themselves after the world moves on. Your time is still coming. Stay dangerous.

This week’s episode was inspired by the NFL draft. It involved a young man by the name of Shedeur Sanders who’s father is a wildly famous hall of fame football player and how his son was drafted very late in the NFL draft. He dropped more than any other player in the history of the draft to the 5th round and picked by a team that had passed him multiple times
