The inciting incident and the dream are connected by one thing—a process I call dream tethering. Since I was a young man, I've always been fascinated by the transformative human journeys behind successful changemakers. As a successful writer behind some of today's most impactful books in the self-development industry, I continue to chase the next level of success, and I want to bring you the interviews and tools to help transform your life. These are the stories about how today's changemakers tethered to their dream. My name is Tim Shields, and this is the Inciting Incident.
