While I was living in India, I met Josh Balata at some good friend's dinner party. He shared with me then his dream of living in France and starting an international French language school. The idea of leaving India and moving to a new country also seemed like a far fetched dream. The first step for him was applying to a Masters program in France but there seemed to be more obstacles then hope at the time. Though I couldn’t explain how I knew everything was going to work out and that the doors would open, I encouraged Josh to continue to take leaps of faith towards his dream of moving to France.

Today's episode, Josh and I talk about how we met, his journey towards moving to France and how the power of friendship, power of asking for what you want and the power of saying no are huge keysin reaching your dreams. Josh Balata: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGn4RVZM_fUtPWWZZVYZaDA
