The Dream Share Project

We have moved our website to www.TheDreamShareProject.com

I've decided to quit my job to fully pursue the Dream Share project and some of my other passions. Making this decision was extremely difficult and stressful - I am giving up a salary, benefits, & health care to pursue something that I truly believe in (but something that is not guaranteed to be a success). However, when I gave my two weeks notice it was one of the most liberating and heart-lifting experiences in my life. My boss was fully supportive of my efforts and identified with my desire to chase my dreams. I imagine that many other people struggle with decisions like this and I wanted to write a bit about the whole experience and my decision making process in the hope that some of it may be helpful to others."

This summer, Alexis and Chip will be embarking on a grand adventure across the United States. Along the way, we will be interviewing young dreamers, leaders, artists, activists, musicians, comedians, actors, film-makers, writers, teachers, entrepreneurs, adventurers, and many others. We will ask these people about their dreams, how they have found ways to chase them, what challenges they have faced along the way, and what advice they have for others. "

My heart belongs to the road. To the misty mountains in the west, to cool streams on feet and hidden hill top ponds. To pavement paths stretching even until the curving of the adventurous earth. Spontanaiety calls to me in a thousand unique voices, shattering the glass box we've built and placed me in. "

What am I doing here? Is this the right place for me? I have big dreams for this life, is this really a part of my legacy? How will I be remembered when I’m gone from this world? What if I was gone tomorrow, what would my legacy be? "

Interview questions by Chip Hiden

Why are you interested in comics?
I've always liked super-heroes;larger than life characters. That's probably the start of it. But, it's really much bigger than that. I've always been interested in art. When I was little, I used to collect different brands of crayons just to be sure that I had every variance of green (or blue). I used to take crayons and coloring books with me everywhere. "

When I was 16 I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The diagnosis wasn't entirely unexpected since the majority of my family has diabetes too. However, I was really depressed about it at first. When I was graduating high school, my friends Chris Trenner, Patrick Gibson and I decided to throw a charity concert to raise money for diabetes research. We decided to make it our graduation party and call it Chipapalooza. "
