Project Dreams

In this episode, we explore a side of gratitude that goes deeper than a polite “thank you.” Real gratitude isn't just a reaction — it's an emotion, a lifestyle, and a discipline you build like a muscle. From the science of how gratitude rewires your brain to the spiritual truth that all we have is a gift, we unpack how this one mindset shift can radically impact your happiness, motivation, sleep, relationships and overall wellbeing.

At some point in our lives, we've all wondered what would happen if we spent every penny we had trying to reach our goals or build up a company of our own.

Today Ryan Matta shares his incredible story of perseverance and faith, despite being sick and off the court for 3 years.

Our memories of the past impact the way we perceive the world, other people, and even ourselves. Change the way you think and master your memory.

In life, obstacles are inevitable. And as an athlete, time being injured is also inevitable. However, there are many ways to utilize and conquer these seasons of road blocks. Today we discuss with Caiden Curran how he pulled off his 4.5 month full ACL recovery and how David Schoening came back in miraculously short time, both in time for their senior seasons. By purposefully modifying their thoughts, changing their outlook, and staying proactive during their down times, they recovered not only in record time, but came back stronger and healthier than ever.

As we continue the conversation about what identity is, sometimes it can help to determine what identity is not. This week we speak with mother of seven children, teacher, and ministry leader, Mrs. Linda Yardley about her own story in finding out what identity is, first by figuring out what identity is not.

This week Ethan meets with Jesus and hooping enthusiast, Norm Follosco, to talk about Norm's struggle in discovering his identity and applying it in his everyday life.

The first episode of our new series on Identity! What is identity? How do you define yours and make sense of it? Co-Hosts Ethan and David join a discussion to answer some of these questions on the podcast this week.

Stop chasing your dreams and find your identity. If you haven't yet solidified the values you stand for and the person you are in all situations, the journey ahead will be a rough one. For the next few weeks we're gonna look at the many aspects of identity as we break down common misconceptions and help you use what you have and who you are to achieve your goals.

Perseverance on a whole different level. This week I interviewed Caiden Curran as he shared his incredible story of heart and endurance through the many season-ending injuries he sustained during his high school basketball career. Reflecting on the trials he went through, we unpack priceless lessons on patience, perseverance, and trusting God's will. Against all odds… and still going.

This week we are talking with co-host David Schoening about the first steps towards achieving your goals. Focusing on defining your goals and the time management to get there.

An introduction to the Project Dreams Podcast. What are your aspirations? How are you planning to get there? Why do you wake up every day to grind? Together we will explore the personal reasons behind why we do what we do as we pursue becoming a better version of ourselves each and everyday.
