: Passion with legendary venture capitalist Bill Gurley—and what it takes to build a fulfilling career by chasing your curiosity.

Following your Passion can feel like an intimidating, all-or-nothing assignment. Chasing your curiosity gives you a practical way to discover, develop, and act on that Passion.

It is the question you keep researching, the tutorial you watch without being told, the project you continue working on after everyone else has stopped, or the problem you cannot ignore.

The aspiring chef studies menus and ingredients. The young coder keeps debugging side projects. The student fascinated by social media begins reverse-engineering how platforms and algorithms work.

That curiosity creates repetition. Repetition develops skill. Skill becomes a competitive advantage.

At Dream BLDRS, Passion means discovering your why by exploring three things:

The problem you want to solve.
The people you want to help.
The reason it matters to you.

Pay attention to what makes you lose track of time. Follow what keeps pulling you back. Your curiosity may be the first clue to the Passion you are meant to pursue and the dream you are equipped to build.

What are you curious enough to keep learning about without being told?

Dream BLDRS empowers growing and global leaders with strategies, tools, and insights from the world’s best across industries like business, sports, and art.

Combining innovation with timeless tactics, Dream BLDRS is the ultimate framework for achieving your goals and becoming your best self.

ASPIRE is actively partnering with K–12 schools, universities, districts, and organizations to bring Dream BLDRS to students and teams.

📥 If you lead a school, district, university, or organization focused on long-term student outcomes and want to bring the Dream BLDRS College & Career Readiness framework to your community, connect with Aspire to learn more.

Something big is coming. 🏆

On May 11, we’re heading to Asurion Global Headquarters in Nashville to celebrate the Dream BLDRS Top 50 — honoring 50 students from six incredible schools who have excelled in the Dream BLDRS program.

The 2nd Annual Aspire Awards, hosted by and supported by BEST – Black Employees Supporting Talent, is a private ceremony recognizing student leadership, growth, and excellence across McKissack, Margaret Allen, Haynes, Jere Baxter, Isaac Litton, and John F. Kennedy Middle School.

A powerful day dedicated to uplifting the next generation of leaders.

Reshaping Education. Reimagining Business.
That vision becomes possible when community leaders like Asurion and employee resource groups like BEST come together to invest in the growth, exposure, and future of the next generation.
