Why would some leave a world-renowned program at Stanford to chase a vision that at the time seemed uncertain, bold, and risky? 

That’s what Demi Guo did. Frustrated by the state of AI video tools, she dropped out of a prestigious AI PhD program in 2023, fueled by the belief she could build something better. 

Alongside her co-founder, Chenlin Meng, Guo founded Pika, an AI video startup that’s now raised $55 million.

Her story highlights key lessons: Bet on yourself, even when the stakes are high. 

Guo didn’t let fear of failure stop her. Instead, she leveraged her network, early-stage demos, and relentless adaptability to secure game-changing investments.

“When there’s no life jacket, and you have no choice but to swim, you will.” 

Cassandra Nuamah’s words hit home, don’t they?

They force us to reflect: Are we floating comfortably, or are we truly swimming toward our goals?

Cassandra’s journey from side hustle to dream job wasn’t about waiting for the perfect conditions. 

She didn’t have six months of savings or a foolproof plan.

What she did have was determination and the courage to jump in, trusting her ability to figure it out as she went. 

That leap of faith turned her passion into a thriving business—one where her joy and impact on others became her driving force.

Here’s the lesson: you don’t have to wait for everything to be perfect.

Success doesn’t come from preparation alone; it comes from action.

Take the advice Cassandra received—“You just have to go for it.”

Start before you feel ready. Study those who’ve done it before you, and don’t try to reinvent the wheel.

So, I’ll leave you with this: Are you floating in comfort, or are you ready to swim toward your dreams? 

The water may seem cold at first, but once you dive in, you might just find it’s where you were meant to be all along.

Until next time, keep pushing, keep swimming, and keep chasing the life you deserve.
