What do you do when the dream you’ve chased your entire life suddenly stops feeling right?

By the age of 17, Miron Pingasov had raced at 150 mph, broken bones, lost a close friend on the track, and watched his childhood passion for racing turn into something more political than purposeful. Faced with the weight of expectation and the pull of something deeper, Miron made a decision most wouldn’t at his age – he walked away.

In this episode, Miron opens up about the grief, clarity, and courage it took to choose a new path. His story is a reminder that we’re allowed to outgrow our dreams and that starting over doesn’t mean failure. It can actually be the beginning of real freedom.

Three things you’ll take away from Miron’s story:

• How letting go of a lifelong dream can make space for something more meaningful
• Why early failure is actually a gift that accelerates growth
• The power of being a sponge – and listening when others share wisdom
