Today I’d like to start an occasional series about people who are out there following their heart. These people serve as inspirations to me as I tread this path and I hope they also shine light on the dreams you’re holding in your heart.

Daria Musk, Internet Sentation

Have you heard about Daria Musk, Google+ sensation? She used Google+ Hangouts to launch her career. On one night last summer she played her second ever online concert for 9,000 people in 100 countries. It’s an amazing story.

I know about Daria because her older brother, Evan, is my good friend. She sang at his wedding and I remember being impressed with her talent then. I’m so happy she’s able to share it with a much wider audience now!

Recently, Daria did a TEDx talk and I found it super-inspiring, so I wanted to share it with you. Daria is a woman following her heart. Her story encourages me to keep going, to keep believing in myself. I can do this (and so can you).
