Podcasts about big dreams

In this second sit-down with Craig Membrey, we peel back the layers on how a young bloke with no tickets and a big dream built one of Australia's most respected crane and transport businesses — and lived a hell of a life along the way.Craig breaks down his journey from leaving school at 14, taking over a small family operation, and growing it into a massive fleet spanning cranes, trucks, trailers, forklifts, and heavy gear across Australia. He shares raw lessons on leadership, hiring the right people, backing yourself, and why passion beats formal education every day of the week.The conversation then rolls into wild international yarns - from countless trips to Las Vegas, shooting machine guns from helicopters, and driving stretch Hummers across the desert, to meeting legends like Neil Armstrong, hanging backstage with ZZ Top, and crossing paths with Lionel Richie.Craig also shares his love for American road trips - from Nashville and Broadway, to the SEMA Show, the Mid-America Truck Show, and old-school towns like Lynchburg, home of Jack Daniel's. Along the way, he talks travel, culture, risk-taking, business mistakes, and why young people should stop wasting weekends and start seeing the world.If you're into business podcasts, Australian success stories, transport industry yarns, Vegas stories, American road trips, or no-BS life lessons, this episode delivers big time.Straight talk. Big laughs. A proper true yarn about building something real - and enjoying the ride while you're at it.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm explores how bold vision and big ambitions are shaping the sports world — from college football sidelines to NBA ownership and the dreams of one of the NFL's most famous owners. Norm begins by examining the recent wave of college football coaching firings across major programs. According to Norm, the ripple effect may trace back to one coach: Curt Cignetti. With a remarkable record of turning struggling programs into winners, Cignetti's success has forced major schools to rethink what's possible — and sparked a nationwide search for the next transformational coach. Then Norm turns to the business side of sports with a look at the Adelson family's purchase of the Dallas Mavericks. The casino empire behind the acquisition appears to have bigger plans in Texas, including lobbying efforts aimed at legalizing casino gambling and building a massive entertainment complex tied to a future Mavericks arena. Finally, Norm reflects on Jerry Jones, the ultimate dreamer in professional sports. Jones has openly stated that he wants to retire as the NFL owner with more Super Bowl championships than anyone in league history — a goal that would require the Cowboys to win four more titles before he steps away. Is that ambition visionary leadership or unrealistic optimism? From coaching revolutions to billion-dollar sports ownership and the power of big dreams, Norm connects the threads that continue to shape the sports landscape.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1895DM After losing at the Russia Olympics, Shaun White didn't spiral. He asked himself one question: If I was going to win again, how would I do it? That simple reframe built a roadmap. His secret? Stack a fun, almost silly goal on top of the big one. Win the Olympics and wear custom rock-star pants on the Rolling Stone cover. One goal keeps you focused. The other keeps you sane. While his competitors went out to celebrate a win, Shaun hit the gym. Not out of obsession — out of curiosity about what one small edge could do over time. The lesson: know your goal so deeply that sitting in a hospital with your face torn open still doesn't change your answer.

Friday. Brad Crowell 0:03  Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:04  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 0:44  Hi, Be It babe. Hello, happy FYF, our first one on March. Are you ready? Are you in it? This year is just it's going by. There's a lot going on, so much I could say, but we're gonna start with some something that was inspiring and cool, that that I found on the internet. So this is from herstory_feminism. Did you know women's athletics entered the Olympics because one woman forced the issue by building her own games. Meet Alice Milliat. In the earliest 20th century, women were largely banned from competitive athletics, yes, we know, but the Olympic Committee claimed running, jumping and throwing were dangerous for women's bodies, too strenuous, too unfeminine, too much. So women were excluded, officially and unapologetically. Alice Milliat was a French sports administrator who refused to accept that answer. She believed women were not fragile. They were restricted, and if institutions wouldn't change, she would go around them. In 1921 Alice Milliat founded the Federation Sportive Feminine Internationale. I didn't say that with a French accent, I am sorry. Then she did something radical. She organized the Women's World Games, international competitions where women ran, jumped through and competed at elite level in front of crowds of tens of thousands, no permission required. The games were a success. They drew athletes, spectators and press attention, and suddenly the Olympics had a problem. Women's Sports was thriving without them. Under pressure, the IOC agreed to include women's athletics in the 1928 Olympic games, but only a limited number of events, and only after years of resistance. Once women were absorbed into the Olympic system. Alice Milliat was quietly pushed out. The Women's World Games were discontinued. Her organization dissolved. Her name faded from official history. The institution kept the change. The woman who forced it disappeared. Of course. Alice Milliat didn't ask for inclusion. She built an alternative so strong it made exclusion impossible. Women didn't enter the Olympics because attitude softened. The injured because a woman proved the ban was unnecessary. History remembers the institution. It forgets a disruption that forced it to change. So I am just obsessed and with like, I just think that's so cool. What a badass. It's so hard to do something scary and new like that. But she didn't ask for permission. Just did it. And I think, like, isn't that being it till we see it? We don't actually need permission from anyone to do what it is that we want to do. Make sure you just get to do it. So I just want to say, if there's something that you're waiting for someone to deem you worthy of doing, I wouldn't. I would just go do it. And it's really scary. I get it. We're working on something right now that may or may not happen when it when I it's for sure happening, I will definitely shout it out and let you know. But part of me is like, oh, my god, is this the right time? Who are we to do this? We don't have, like, like, we could do it, but like, you know, so just know that, like, you need it all from you. The permission comes from you. Lesley Logan 3:29  All right, we're getting, this is my first FYF that I'm recording, I think, this year. And I'm, I'm just definitely, like, getting back into the swing of things. So if you are, you're like, wow, she sounds a little disorganized. I am just a little bit. Okay, so this is the fyfs where, this is where I actually share your wins. And you guys posted a ton of wins when I asked a few weeks back, so I'm going to read a few of them for you. So I do your wins. I do my wins. And really, we're just here to have a short time together where we go, whoa. Look at all the badasses that (inaudible) like women, you guys are so amazing. I know we have a few good men who listen. Thanks so much. But I'm really but I'm really so proud of how we can constantly find wins in all the muck, right? So this is from Yasmin. She said my biggest win is one week without Instagram to focus on other things. Yasmin, the time I'm recording this like I have to tell you right now, I actually haven't posted in days. I've just been kind of reposting from Profitable Pilates and Be It Till You See It, be it till I see it. And I'm like, why don't we call it Be It Till We See It. It's a group effort. And I am loving it because I have to have focus on other things, like it's being the beast is annoying, and so I'm so happy for you. What that is such a huge win, by the way, because it's kind of addictive. All right. Rachel from Seattle, rach.sos.vib, she wrote, I skied, taught fantastic classes and learned how to use earphones to record with Zoom for eLevate. You know what? Huge wins. You went out, took a break when skiing. You know, you had some fantastic classes that you you taught, like, way to pat yourself on the back. I love that. And then you learned how to use some earphones to record it. You know what? We all have to be beginners again. There's always something to be a beginner and like, it's so good for our brains to do that. So, way to go. All right, one more win from you guys. This is from anniecaminpilates. My wins, being present with my kiddos, getting decent sleep, getting outside for movement and fresh air despite crazy winter weather. You know what? Let me just say, huge win. If you can do all of that with kiddos and crazy winter weather, you're you're kicking ass. So you see how wins can be like something like so simple, I just didn't do Instagram for a week. Like, I am on a mission for more women to see that they are winning at things. They're winning at life because the world is trying to tell us that we're not, and they're doing that because if we banded together, we'd kick some ass, we'd run the world. We'd harness the sun's energy. That's what my yoga teacher said this morning, and I couldn't agree more. Lesley Logan 5:38  All right, so let me tell you my win. So here's where, while we're talking, I have actually had my annual visit with my lady doctor. I scheduled my MRI for my breast visits, and I met with a psychiatrist about my ADHD, and I met with a breast doctor about my high risk. So I am just saying, like, just saying, like, wow, it's March 6, and I've done all the important doctor's appointments I need to do this year, and I just, I'm so proud of myself. I call that a win, especially for someone who hates making phone calls, like I really do. And then the MRI was not easy. I actually had to drive there because, like, scheduling over the phone is just a disaster with doctor's offices these days. In the year of our Lord 2026 with all the AI in the world, you got to go in person if you want to get an appointment that actually can be kept, because, if you remember, last year, they rescheduled it multiple times because it kept getting scheduled during someone's lunch. How does that happen? How does it happen? Lunches should be blocked out. So anyways, my win is like we got them all done, and it's only March. I've got a plan for this year. I'm really excited. I'll share more about my ADHD journey as I have information for you, but just freaking stoked. Lesley Logan 6:42  So now let's give you a mantra and send you on your amazing way. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. What a fun mantra to draw on this day. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. Yes, every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. I mean, every act of self-care is a step toward being it till you see it, babe. All right, you know what to do. Send this to a friend who needs to hear it. Go, send your wins into the beitpod.com/questions you can send your questions there as well. And then, you know, share this episode with a friend. I already said that. So why don't you share this episode with a friend? Then, you know, go Be It Till You See It. Go, have a good day. Thanks so much.

n this episode, I share the real story behind finally pressing record while traveling through Laos and Asia — from timid first takes to slowly finding my voice after filming five cafés in a single day. But the bigger breakthrough didn't happen in front of the camera. It happened when I came home and faced the overwhelm of not knowing what to do next.That's when I realized: action gets you started, but structure keeps you going.We talk about perfection paralysis, the hidden cost of “winging it,” and why planning — something I used to resist — might be the missing link between your goals and your results.If there's something you've been sitting on for years… something you say you're going to do “someday”… this episode is your invitation to stop wishing and start building.Because you are worthy of your wildest goals — but they deserve more than hope.

In Part Two of our series on Charlotte of Belgium (Empress Carlota of Mexico)… we wish we had better news. When we last left our neglected princess, she and her husband, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, had been approached by Napoleon III and offered the crown of Mexico. Charlotte—starved for purpose and convinced this is her destiny—is all in. Max is less sure, but with the blessing of Pope Pius IX, the new Emperor and Empress set sail for Mexico. Where the dream immediately implodes. What follows is one of the most tragic and debated breakdowns in royal history—and the fall of the Second Mexican Empire. We also draw parallels to one of our classic Queens Podcast episodes on Juana of Castile, another queen labeled “mad” and locked away.

Big goals fail for simple reasons: they're fuzzy, they are not supported by consistent practice, and we forget to repeat what already works. We unpack a 3-question toolkit that turns foggy aspirations into clear, repeatable wins without demanding more willpower or a personality transplant.Along the way, we connect practice and fast feedback as the core loop of transformation, share concrete examples across health, writing, and workplace culture, and outline a simple rhythm to test, observe, and adjust each week.You'll learn how to define outcomes you can see, fix the constraint that truly slows you down, and standardize the conditions that already help you win. No hacks, no heroics—just systems that make the right action the easy action.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's chasing a big goal, and leave a quick review so more curious minds can find us.Got a bright spot to share or a constraint you're fixing this week?

Who got next?Braswell High School might have the answer.In this episode of SportsLifeTalk – You Got Next (Savage Season), we sit down with Delilah “DJ” Jeffrey, a 6'0 multi-positional wing from Braswell High School in Little Elm, Texas, who is quietly building a reputation as one of the most versatile and high-motor players in the DFW area.DJ isn't just another scorer. She's the kind of player who takes pride in defense, embraces physicality, dives on the floor for loose balls, and brings an energy that impacts the game on both ends. Whether she's finishing through contact, knocking down perimeter shots, or blocking shots in transition, Delilah's game is rooted in discipline and work ethic.And that mindset shows.During this episode, Delilah opens up about:• Falling in love with basketball in elementary school• Growing into her 6'0 frame and embracing her identity as an all-around player• Why defense and hustle mean just as much as scoring• The sisterhood and culture inside the Braswell Lady Bengals program• How Pro Skills and Coach Dre helped elevate her competitive level• What it felt like to earn her first college offer (Alaska Anchorage)• Her long-term dream of playing college basketball — at any level — to earn her educationShe also shares one of her most recent “Mamba Moments,” including a 19-point performance against Duncanville and her growth as a shooter (including a 4-for-4 night from three).But this episode isn't just about basketball.Off the court, DJ is focused, driven, and already thinking about life beyond the game. She plans to pursue a career in pediatric cardiothoracic nursing — proving that her ambition extends far beyond the hardwood. Her discipline in basketball directly connects to her academic and career goals, and that maturity stands out.During the SLT Initiation, she also reveals:• Her Top 5 music artists (a mix of R&B and gospel vibes)• Why Spider-Man is her favorite superhero• The life lesson basketball has taught her about discipline and consistency• Her go-to restaurant order at Chili's• The deeper meaning behind her jersey numberWhat makes Delilah Jeffrey different is her balance. She's confident but grounded. Competitive but team-oriented. Driven but realistic about the work required to reach the next level.She understands that talent opens doors — but discipline keeps them open.As Braswell continues its push through district play, DJ is focused on growth, leadership, and helping her team compete at a high level. And as her recruitment continues to develop, she's clear on one thing:She's willing to work for everything.This is what Savage Season is about.If you're a fan of girls' high school basketball, DFW hoops, rising Class of 2027 prospects, or stories about athletes building their future the right way — this episode is for you.Tap in. Share with a coach. Send to a recruiter. And follow Delilah's journey as she continues to rise.Because at SportsLifeTalk…We don't just talk about the next generation.We introduce you to them.You Got Next.

Brandon Hogstad — a scientist, musician, big thinker, and co-host of a dream interpretation podcast — talks about how ADHD showed up in his adult academic life. As challenges emerged, finishing projects became a persistent struggle. A high school valedictorian, Brandon entered college with confidence and a strong academic track record. College didn't derail him. But it brought him down to earth. For the first time, he realized he'd never really learned how to study — and that raw intelligence only goes so far. The experience reshaped his ego and deepened his understanding of his ADHD brain. Brandon reflects on working with, not against, his ADHD. And the conversation turns when, right on the spot, he interprets a dream that host Laura Key shares.

Are you like me always asking yourself if we can just make things a little easier and a little less overwhelming? Life is hard enough! In this episode, I'm sharing how I actually plan my months and days as a business owner—without losing my sanity. I can't believe how much unnecessary pressure and hustle I used to put on myself. It took years to ditch that mindset for good (or at least some of the time). Today, I'm walking you through my own goal-setting process, how I take big dreamy ideas and turn them into simple, doable action steps, and why giving yourself permission to do less can actually lead to more success. If you're a new or aspiring female entrepreneur and feeling overwhelmed, this one's definitely for you! I'll show you how to get super clear on your priorities, set routines that actually feel good, and celebrate your wins—big or small. Basically, if you're ready to create a business (and life) that's as fun and free as you are, grab your coffee and let's plan it out together. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Resources Created for You: The BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/vhbzuv5sg4 Past Year Reflections Workbook (corresponds to this episode): https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/pastyearreflections Future You Guided Visualization: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/futureyou The Vision Board Workbook: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/visionboardworkbook 31 Day Mindset and Confidence Journal: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/mindsetandconfidencejournal The FREEDOM Masterclass - A 3-Part Video Series to Break Free and Confidently Create the Freedom-filled Life You Desire: https://katerinakormas.com/life-of-freedom-masterclass/ The BECOMING Masterclass - Get what you truly want in life and business and become a perfect match for inevitable success: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/becomingmasterclass Website: https://katerinakormas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.kormas Did you hear something you loved today? Leave a review, so others know what to expect from the show!

What happens when Martin Luther King Jr.'s timeless question—“Do you have a dream?”—meets psychic mediumship, behavioral psychology, and live caller readings? You get one powerful, funny, deeply moving episode that reminds us why dreaming big is not optional—it's essential. In this week's episode of The Psychic & The Doc, Mark Anthony (the Psychic Lawyer®) and Dr. Pat Basili dive into the meaning of dreams, destiny, and momentum as we stand at the energetic threshold between the Year of the Snake and the incoming Year of the Fire Horse. ? Here's what unfolds: Why so many people dream small—and how fear, habit, and past heartbreak quietly cap our potential The wisdom of the Snake Year (2025): shedding, recalibration, and honest self-awareness The power of the Fire Horse (2026): courage, motion, confidence, and unstoppable momentum Why clarity always comes before change (and why chaos is a signal, not a failure) And then… the phones light up. ? Live caller moments that hit home: A widow stepping into courage as she considers buying her first home—alone, but not unsupported Emotional and validating spirit messages filled with humor, love, and very specific signs (yes… shoes ? made an appearance) A powerful discussion around reincarnation, discernment, and writing your truth without losing yourself Jaw-dropping validations about time, consciousness, and how spirit sees past, present, and future all at once ? Big themes woven throughout the show: Dreaming boldly instead of settling for the “lowest denominator” Letting go of chaos and distraction so focus can return Understanding grief, caregiving, and the hero's journey from a deeper lens Trusting yourself—even when you're doing something for the first time As always, Mark brings through compassionate, evidential spirit connections, while Dr. Pat delivers her signature no-nonsense, street-smart wisdom—with humor, heart, and a few lovingly placed wake-up calls. ✨ Bottom line: You're not starting from scratch.

Send us a textWeekly planning doesn't have to be complicated or rigid to be purposeful. At its core, it's simply a protected block of time where you slow down, look ahead, and decide how you want to steward the week you've been given.In this mini episode of the Habits Series, I'm talking about the habit of weekly planning and why it matters, especially if you already have a full life along with a God-shaped dream that hasn't had much room to breathe. I share how weekly planning has helped me move out of reactive mode, notice patterns in my days, and make small adjustments that create more clarity and margin over time.You'll hear what weekly planning looks like in my life, how to choose a rhythm that actually works for your season, and why consistency matters more than doing it perfectly. If you're tired of feeling scattered and reactive, this episode will help you see how one protected block of time for weekly planning can bring clarity, calm, and momentum. Get the Habit Tracker here: merrittonsa.com/habitsGet my $19 training where I walk you through how I do my weekly planning, including the planning worksheet that helped me finally make this a priority in my life!

Ric Elias - The Art of Living Well - [Invest Like The Best, CLASSICS] Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. Ric Elias is the CEO and co-founder of Red Ventures, which has a portfolio of fast-growing digital businesses like Lonely Planet, The Points Guy, Bankrate, and large investments in a variety of other businesses across industries. He began the business in 2000 and has grown it to now a global company with thousands of employees. Ric walks us through the early struggles that have led to what is now a flourishing investing platform, but mostly this episode is a masterclass on cultural values and philosophies that transcend mere financial gain. We discuss the difference between living good and well, the power of forgiveness, and compounding more than just your capital. Ric's story is one of resilience, humility, and grace. His story about being in the front row of the plane that Captain Sully landed in the Hudson is singular and very moving. Please enjoy my conversation with Ric Elias.
