Podcasts about big dreamer

Eva's #1 mission for the Dream Big Podcast is to inspire her listeners to believe in their potential to achieve their biggest dreams in life, even when life is fraught with obstacles and challenges.  https://dreambigpodcast.com/428 In this regard, we can think of no better guest to inspire the young Big Dreamers than Bethany Hamilton.  At the age of 13 as a rising surf star, Bethany lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark, which seemed to end her dream career. However, one month after the attack, Bethany returned to surfing and within two years had won her first national surfing title.  At 17 years old, she realized her dream of surfing professionally and she is still an active surf competitor to this day.  There is a documentary about Bethany's life called Unstoppable available on iTunes and Netfllix (links in resources section below), and we highly recommend all Big Dreamer families watch this moving film about Bethany's inspiring journey.   Thank you again Bethany for being Eva's guest on the Dream Big Podcast, and for all that you do to inspire others to become unstoppable like you! WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How Bethany was drawn to the ocean from a young age, and why it continues to be her happy place to this day. How Bethany was able to summon the courage to get back in the water less than a month after losing her arm in a shark attack. Why Bethany did not let the shark attack destroy her dreams of being a professional surfer. How Bethany has dealt with the naysayers who told her that she could never surf competitively. Bethany's Unstoppable Documentary and what it means to be “Unstoppable.”  How Bethany balances her professional surfing career with having a family and being a mom. Bethany's public speaking tips for anyone who is afraid of speaking in front of an audience. Bethany's Big Dream for the future. And so much more!

REBROADCAST. It is not very often that Eva interviews a guest who has had multiple full-length documentary movies made about them. https://dreambigpodcast.com/384 Usually to do her research, Eva has to find numerous videos on Youtube and read articles authored by the guest to adequately prepare for an interview. With this week's guest — Laird Hamilton — our family watched the movie: Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton — and we immediately knew that Laird was a Big Dreamer who we would love to have on the podcast. We were thrilled when he agreed! Laird Hamilton is best known as an American big-wave surfer and pioneer in the world of action water sports. As part of Laird's quest to ride the world's biggest waves — he actually invented new surfing techniques — including among others, tow-in surfing where a separate person on a jet ski pulls you into a wave, and also Foil Boarding — which is hard to describe but is shown in the documentary where you are actually standing on a board above the water line. Over the last decade, Laird has transcended from surfing to become an international fitness icon and nutrition expert. Many of today's top professional athletes and celebrities look to Laird for training guidance, including instruction in his unique underwater resistance workouts. It was a true honor to have Laird on the podcast as Eva's guest, and we know you will enjoy their conversation. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Laird's childhood and how he found escape in the ocean. How Laird always believed that he could one day get paid to do what he loves – which was surf, while doing other jobs from construction to modeling and even acting. Laird shares his favorite quote, “All things are possible for the believers,” and why it is very important to believe in yourself. What Laird loves about Big Wave Surfing. What drives Laird's innovative spirit and his Big Dream for how innovations like tow-in surfing and Foil Boarding will ultimately impact the sport. How Laird balances being a dad and a husband while constantly chasing the world's biggest waves. Laird's advice to his 10-year old self. The trait that enabled Laird to take his big dreams and make them a reality. How Laird overcome his fears and doubts. Laird's Big Dream for the future. And so much more!

How many rejections are you willing to take before giving up on your dream? In today's episode, Sophia and Olga talk about the visionary who created the happiest and the most magical place in the world, Walt Disney. He is proof that even if you get more NOs than YES, about 300 to be precise, if you have the vision, will and determination, you will make your dream a reality. Sophia also shares the most memorable moment from her recent Disneyland trip, and the 3 important lessons we can all learn from Walt Disney.  We challenge all you big dreamers listening to try something you are afraid of or know nothing about— expect rejections, cook up new strategies and try again. Repeat as many times as needed! Take notice of how people's reactions differ when you try different methods to get your desired result. One such strategy is to imagine yourself in the other person's shoes: what can you say or do that will get the result you want but also be of benefit to others?

This episode Lady Fenita gives her thoughts on today's events that Occuired during our Church Service, as well as her Testimony. Motivational Speaker Greg "The Big Dreamer"Walker pops in on the Corner and Gives some Encouragement. Have A Listen!

A few days ago I was on the phone with one of my nieces. Somehow, somewhere in our long conversation, she suggested that I, LaurieTALKS, have little to show for all the years of effort I've dedicated to my career. My reaction to this bomb my niece dropped on me? To spontaneously record this episode. My dear Big Dreamer, one day you may encounter someone who doesn't know what you know. Or see what you see. Or both. When that someone proceeds to share their opinion of you, remember this: You know what's possible for your life — because you hold the vision for transforming your dream into a reality.  Here are a few more takeaways. Your voyage is personal. Another person's point of view, their thoughts and opinions, have little to do with you — especially if these leave you feeling low. Or depleted. Or broken.  When a person gives you feedback, if your response is to constructively self-explore, that's one thing. If you respond by doubting yourself, that's entirely different. Even when the person's intentions are noble, if their feedback leaves you disbelieving your own everything, you absolutely must drawback from a potential cramp in your roll.  Exploring and sharing your creative voice requires patience . . . patience with the aspects of the world around you that you can't control. If you occasionally ask yourself, “How am I going to make it?” or “Can I really build a life and a living around my artistry?” — you're not alone. These are questions many artists have had at one time or another.  And finally, remaining brave is part of the process. It's through trying, testing, and experimenting that we sometimes learn what we don't want in life. Regarding that phone call and my niece's comment about what I have and haven't accomplished to date . . .  it was perfect. Because it brought me right here to this moment. Right here and now — with you.  Thank you for listening. Please consider leaving a comment on Apple Podcast. I appreciate reading your impressions.

Eva’s #1 mission for the Dream Big Podcast is to inspire her listeners to believe in their potential to achieve their biggest dreams in life, even when life is fraught with obstacles and challenges.  In this regard, we can think of no better guest to inspire the young Big Dreamers than Bethany Hamilton.  At the age of 13 as a rising surf star, Bethany lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark, which seemed to end her dream career. However, one month after the attack, Bethany returned to surfing and within two years had won her first national surfing title.  At 17 years old, she realized her dream of surfing professionally and she is still an active surf competitor to this day.   Bethany has an amazing course that she recently created also called Unstoppable, and has been so generous to offer to do a giveaway of her course to one lucky Big Dreamer.  To enter your name into the giveaway, please visit our show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/220.  The winner will be announced and contacted on October 15.   Thank you again Bethany for being Eva’s guest on the Dream Big Podcast, and for all that you do to inspire others to become unstoppable like you!

Morning Mantra: "If your dream doesn't motivate you, it's not big enough."Are you having trouble getting motivated to move toward your dream? Then make your dream bigger, more meaningful and more compelling.Go ahead and make your dream so beautifully big that you cannot avoid being pushed forward by it. Dreams are not just for the young and ambitious. The more of life you have experienced, the more deeply you know what you wish for.Many of our dreams seem impossible at first, then we start to chase them and they seem improbable, but if we can summon the will to go after them, they become inevitable.Steps to help you get started:~ Imagine that you are where you want to be, and then look back and see yourself getting there. This will help you identify the steps you need to take to get there.~Imagine that you could fall asleep for five years. During that time, everyone, and everything in the world works together to make a perfect life for you when you wake up. Think about what kind of world you would want to wake up to.~Ask yourself why you are here. What is your mission in life. Think in terms of making a long-term contribution to the world.No matter who you are, or where you are from, or where you are now, your dreams matter. Go chase them.#BeABIGDreamer #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

Since this is the Dream Big Podcast, Eva spends a lot of time talking about themes like setting goals, working hard, and being confident.   But we understand that achieving big dreams alone is not nearly as satisfying or fulfilling as sharing the journey with those you love -- both your family and close friends.   At a family dinner a few weeks ago, Eva mentioned that we should talk more about how to make and keep great friends.  And then just a few days later we heard Jesse Itzler, founder of Build Your Life Resume, talking about the 3 Cs of being a great friend.  He credits the 3 Cs for his success both in personal and business relationships.  Jesse’s framework is so simple to follow and implement that Eva decided to share it with all the Big Dreamer’s in this week’s episode.  Tune in to discover the 3 Cs and how they can transform the relationships in your life!   Thank you Jesse for the wonderful insight, as always!   Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/212

After dealing with politics, it's time to get back to the more philosophical content because there has been quite a few activity on the site. In the YouTube recommended sections lot's of "motivational" crap has started to pop up with almost the same theme: how can we achieve our dreams? But are dreams worth achieving? What are dreams? Is there a good life required?

Heather's funky fingers are on my drum pad in this episode. In between making beats, we discussed her plan to fall in love with Elon Musk, part of her larger plan to get to the moon and play drums in space. ;) We researched the Golden Record out there in space and brainstormed what kind of music we would sing on the moon (since the entire world will be watching that show). Heather gives us a lesson on the different parts of a drum set and how they’re used to create different genres of music. We get all excited about how awesome Ableton is (better than other DAWS, yes!?), and of course (because it’s Heather Thomas) we discuss the importance of facing your fears, journaling and challenging yourself to grow. Plus we get to hear about Heather's big adventure; she's dropping everything and heading around the country on a DIY music tour in 2020. Every month she’s in a different city, for the entire month - performing, teaching, building a band, recording. Dope. Heather Thomas: https://www.heatherthomasmusic.com/

Towards the tail end of summer, Eva told Alex and I that she wanted to run for student council representative for her class.  Only 2 students are selected per classroom (and last year over 10 had run!), so she asked if we had any tips on how to persuade her classmates to vote for her.    We came up with a 3-part strategy, and we’re happy to share that she was elected so the strategy worked! In this episode, Eva shares her top 3 secrets on (1) what she in the weeks before the election (likely the most important key to her victory); (2) what she did on the day of the election, including some great tips on what she said during her speech and why that was so effective; and (3) what she has done after the election.   This is a great episode of any young Big Dreamer who hopes to run for student council one day, and there are important lessons for anyone who is interested in being a leader and gaining the support of your peers.

Greg Walker is the only one of fifteen children to ever Graduate High School.  An expert on Leadership & Success, he became a Millionaire at a young age, owning three Franchises. Known as "The Big Dreamer," he will inspire you to achieve all your Dreams or Visions. #PeakPerformers, Greg shares his inspirational story on #TheEntrepYou today! Click To Tweet Show  Notes: Where is your favourite fun spot to go? I love the movies What was your experience as a child growing up? My experience was not a great one, growing up with 15 children born to alcoholic and drug addicted parents. My mother actually stabbed me. I grew up with dysfunction. I have 14 siblings and I was the only one who graduated high school. I graduated 454 out of 455. The only reason I graduated was that my teacher changed my grades a month before graduation. She saw something in me that I did not see in myself. How did your environment affect you mentally? People hear me speak all over the world now and can't believe that I was very shy. I didn't speak till I was eleven years old because of what I saw in my life. Five years ago, I decided I was going to speak. I joined Toastmasters through my friend and mentor Les Brown. In six months, I spoke at the World Championship Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. Now people are paying me up to $20,000 to peak. I speak with Les Brown. I opened up hundreds of restaurants, I never had meeting with my employees because I was afraid to speak; I had to delegate. Now I speak to everyone. What is the power of a story? I did not know I why I was winning all these trophies in Toastmasters. I asked someone who believed in me why do people like me speaking and he said, "Greg, if you would just stand there, you would see that the other Toastmasters, they give speeches, you give a story and a message." I had no idea what he meant. Les Brown taught me that speeches tell, stories sell. How do you craft your story to impact the world? The average speaker has between 2 and 5 speeches. You just craft it to where you want to go. My main story is “I am Possible”, the second one is called “No Excuses”, and the third one is called "I am not born to be average”. I craft it to whoever wants me to speak. It is an art form and once you learn how to do it, there are a lot of people who will pay you good money. Les Brown taught me, there is enough to go around for a million people but you've got to have the story. Les always say, don't let your speaking get in your way of the audience of what they need to hear. I don't speak to impress, I speak to inspire. How can we use stories to help sell products or services? You've got to touch the heart. So many people sell their products instead of selling themselves. People buy into you, not your products. When you go buy a luxury car, they don't tell you about the specifications, they tell you about the experience. When you tell your story, you have to get people to buy into you, not the product. I tell people that if you are good enough, the world will see you. If you are persistent, that will trump anything. Do you have to go through what you've been through to have a story? Everybody has a story. You don't have to have a bad story, you can use other people's story. I use other people's story all the time. The idea is to think, how can I add value to that person's life? What do they need to hear me say? What does success means to you? Waking up; When I wake up, I have the opportunity that somebody doesn't have because they may be dying of Cancer. The Power of NOW...No Opportunity Wasted. What piece of advice can you give for persons working towards success? My roadmap for success is CPP - the choices I made got me in a different direction that my siblings did; the people I hung out with gave me a different direction; my persistence got me into a direction. Persistence trumps any college degree. I don't have a college degree.

It is just me for today's podcast and I'm talking about making the jump from being someone who is just a dreamer to someone who takes consistent steps toward powerful progress in their life. The discussion is based on a quote from the book The Science of Being Great by Wallace D. Wattles which compares a football to a fountain spring.

Monte Malhotra, junior year Stanford student, will share his practical tips for the young (and not so young) on how you can begin investing where you are today. My guest started investing at the ripe age of nine when his teacher got him fired up about personal finance. Now, Monte is on a mission to educate youth and college students on redefining financial freedom.
