« If we were to bring together all the dreams of a given historical moment, we would see an exact picture of the spirit of that period emerge ».
G. W. Hegel
Pol is 21 and lives with his grandmother. He dreams of living in Miami and generating +10k a month. He attends personal development events, follows online coaches and invests in cryptocurrencies. Pol doesn’t know when he’ll reach his goals of becoming the best version of himself. The only thing he knows is that one day, he’ll get there.
