Dasom is a business technology consultant in NYC, newly published author, and YouTuber.

Stay tuned for episodes every other Thursday and keep up on the ‘gram @beforewemakeit.
42. Let's Get #DEEP: Do We Believe In The "One"? Talent or Hard Work? Age-old Mantras?
Those Qs we ALL want answers to but never dare to ponder? We're answering them today: unravelling destiny, passion, love, the universe, with a touch of randomness. Do dogs have emotions? Is true love a myth or science? Do soulmates even exist? Are we foolish for having faith in age-old mantras? Whether it's street smarts > book smarts or friendship > love, we're diving #deep right. now.  CONNECT WITH US: Podcast Instagram: @beforewemakeit Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts?
