Bet On Yourself
Yesterday, I wrote about my experience attending Neel’s first pop-up café.
Today, I watched some of his viral Instagram Reels, where he shared his backstory.
Neel is a 22-year-old Computer Science graduate from UIUC. But instead of becoming a software engineer, he’s starting a café.
No formal café experience. $200 in the bank. No business background.
And yet, he’s going all in on his dream.
Respect.
I admire him on so many levels—for choosing the unconventional path, for betting on himself, and for boldly telling the world what he wants.
Hearing his story makes me want to support him in any way I can.
It also makes me want to go harder on my own dreams. To take more risks. To go all out.
