## Resource

Today I sit down with Ramon Almonte, author of The Fogs of Time , who is in the middle of an incredible world record attempt — signing his book at Barnes & Noble stores across all 50 states. We talk about the reality behind chasing a massive goal: the rejection, the zigzag travel routes, signing books with a fever in Wyoming, and why you have to be "delusional enough" to believe you can pull it off. Ramon also opens up about his book, his relationship with his dreams, and the moment he almost quit everything. This one is full of real talk about mindset, persistence, and what it actually takes to bet on yourself. Stay tuned for part two — we hit some technical difficulties, but there was way too much good conversation to leave on the table!
