Welcome back! I lol'ed at "the new President of NBC". Something I've learned about chasing goals or dreams is that it's just as important at the start to say, "What am I going to have to be willing to feel to achieve this?" Could be embarrassment, boredom, frustration, vulnerability, impatience, etc. It's realizing that this might need me to practice resilience, self-trust, discipline, or some other trait in order to become the kind of person who reaches this goal. I hope you go for it!
