A long while ago I ran across this guy on YouTube who was doing an experiment of sorts on rejection. It was pretty cool – taking a risk, asking people if he could do some pretty random/cray things, or asking people to do random/crazy things for him – just to see what would happen, and of course recording his experience.

I subbed to his channel and completely forgot about it, until March of this year, when we were at a Storyline conference in San Diego and he showed up as one of the speakers. As he began to talk about his project, I suddenly realized I already knew who he was.

One of the things he said really stood out to me.

When you’re not putting yourself out there, you’re rejecting yourself by default.

 

On today’s Soundbites for Success we talk about this a little more and share a bit of Jia Jiang’s journey.
