## Resource

I wanted to have an honest conversation about recognizing the moments that can really change our lives. Inspired by Cabo Verde’s incredible World Cup run, I talk about why some opportunities are much bigger than they first appear and why being prepared matters just as much as talent. I also share my own experience of becoming Protoje’s creative director, what Valiant’s rise taught me about capitalizing on opportunity, and why I believe success often comes down to discernment, preparation, and taking action before the moment passes. Whether you’re building a business, creating art, or simply trying to move forward in life, I hope this conversation encourages you to recognize your moment and taking that action and step Timestamps (00:00) Intro (02:00) Cabo Verde made the Moment (05:31) Recognizing a Moment (07:15) How I Became Protoje's Creative Director (10:02) Valiant seized his Moment (16:23) Luck Is Opportunity Meeting Preparedness (22:00) Stop Overthinking.
