Recently on the “Follow Your Dreams” podcast, we heard from Sarah Chen, who left a stable career in investment banking to launch a nonprofit focused on youth literacy. For Sarah, stepping off the conventional path meant facing sleepless nights and financial anxiety, but also experiencing the profound reward of seeing her work make a difference. She—and other guests including digital creators who left traditional jobs—agreed: following your passion isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a mix of exhilaration, uncertainty, and hard-won fulfillment.
This reality is echoed in a recent UCLA study showing that while 86 percent of young people aspire to their own version of the American Dream, most see financial barriers and mental health challenges as significant hurdles. Social media dramatically shapes how they view success, and many want stories—on screen and in real life—that honestly depict both struggles and triumphs. Atlas Burrus, a Gen Z author quoted in the study, put it bluntly: for many, simply surviving feels like a dream in itself.
The tension between possibility and limitation is powerfully symbolized in Banksy’s “Follow Your Dreams: Cancelled” mural, which has become a talking point for those acknowledging that not everyone has the privilege to pursue their dreams freely. Still, research from BetterUp suggests that people regret missed opportunities more than failed attempts, highlighting that inaction can carry the greater cost.
So what’s the advice for listeners hoping to chase a dream? Start small. Find support. Redefine success by your own terms. Accept setbacks as inevitable steps in the process. Whether your dream is big or modest, it’s the courage to act—and the willingness to adapt—that matter most. The path may be winding, but fulfillment often lies not just in reaching the dream, but in daring to follow where it leads.
