Our Founder & CEO David Stewart on stage, dropping a truth every artist needs to hear.
“I could either be jaded, or I could take it as an open door.”
His TEDx talk “Moving Past Jaded” is about not letting rejection define you — get punched, get back up. Every “no” is data, not a verdict.
That mindset is the foundation of 8 Dreams: a home for artists and writers who refuse to stay jaded.
