Taking the Red Pill: From a Dream Chaser to a Dream Catcher with Jerome Myers

Welcome back to another great episode of the Dear BLK CEO Podcast.

What if you trusted yourself enough to break the addiction to the paycheck and realize your dreams should be real? I hope you’re ready because this episode with my friend Jerome Myers could change your life if you let it. Jerome is the founder and Chief Inspiration Officer of DreamCatchers and The Myers Development Group. Through these entities, he helps people manifest the things they imagine and creates social proof that dreams should be real! Jerome is well aware of the temptation of the ‘golden handcuffs’ of corporate and left that world to build a multi-million dollar multifamily real estate portfolio. Today he helps others through his two podcasts, DreamCatchers and Multifamily Missteps.

Jerome Myers is like a big brother to me and a huge inspiration to my own process! So let’s dive deep into this real, raw conversation and learn how to go from a dream chaser to a dream catcher by taking the “red pill”.
