<a href="https://soundcarrot.com/shows/shows/dream-big/page/25/" title="SoundCarrot.com - Children's podcasts"><img src="https://soundcarrot.com/img/sc-sm.png" alt="Listen On SoundCarrot" style="width: 200px; height: auto" /></a>There is an old saying that “A picture is worth a thousand words” and that’s exactly how we felt when we stumbled across a photo of a young and unknown Jeff Bezos working at an old wooden desk in a run-down office. Jeff was working on his Big Dream, Amazon.com, which has since become one of the biggest companies in the world and revolutionized e-commerce. But the headline of the photo is what really gave us the chills: “Don’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20.” We stumbled upon this photo on the Instagram of the great Tom Bilyeu, who often advises his community to focus on your own growth and not compare yourself to the achievements of others. In this episode, Eva focuses on how important it is to work on being the best version of yourself and how detrimental it can be when you obsess on the progress of others, especially those who are much further along on their journey.

This episode is inspired by the the world’s #1 brain coach Jim Kwik, who was Eva’s guest in episode 69 of the Dream Big Podcast. In a recent interview, Jim shared an analogy about the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Specifically, Jim pointed out that the caterpillar goes through a period of intense struggle inside a cocoon before emerging as a beautiful butterfly. In this episode, Eva utilizes Jim’s analogy to help answer a question emailed to Eva by Jenny Bernstein from Austin, Texas. Jenny is working on launching her own Youtube channel, and has not been able to press “Publish” on the handful of episodes that she has already recorded. With an assist from Jim’s analogy, Eva shares why Jenny’s struggles are just part of her journey. This is an important episode for all Big Dreamers, young and old, who expect overnight results. We need to embrace the journey and understand that achieving our big dreams will not be easy, and that there will be many challenges along the way! Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/239
This episode is inspired by the great Mel Robbins, who was Eva’s guest way back in episode 47 of the Dream Big Podcast. We have been closely following Mel’s work ever since, particularly her Youtube and Instagram channels, which are chock-full of amazing content. Mel recently posted a video on her Instagram entitled “This Split Second Decision Will Change Your Life” — an intriguing headline so of course we clicked and watched. Mel explains in the video how we can decide who we want to be, each and every day, with one simple decision. Mel’s message really resonated with Eva, who a few days prior had woke up in a bad mood and stayed in a funk for most of the morning before she finally made a shift in her energy. With Mel’s advice, Eva realized that she could have skipped the bad mood entirely and wanted to share Mel’s tip with all you Big Dreamers 🙂 Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/238
We just had one of the most incredible weekends visiting our cousins in the San Bernardino mountains during a winter snowstorm. It was a short trip. We left our house Saturday morning and were back home before dark on Sunday. But when we pulled up to our driveway Eva said: “We were only gone for a day?! It felt like we were gone for a week!!” It was the same number of hours that we had the weekend prior, but we did 10X more! As an added bonus, we enjoyed many first-time experiences thanks to the snowstorm and our cousin’s incredible homestead, which made the weekend’s activities that much more significant. In this episode, Eva shares many fun stories from our magical weekend, from sledding at night to holding baby goats to learning how to sew. And Eva shares how all Big Dreamers can slow down time by designing magical moments with your loved ones. Be sure to check out our cousins instagram @purely.living.homestead to learn more about farm animals and gardening – and thank you for a weekend filled with countless memories that we will never forget!

One of our favorite mentors is Brendon Burchard — and long-time listeners of the Dream Big Podcast are well aware of our admiration for Brendon given that Eva has shared many of his concepts in prior episodes. And today, we wanted to share an amazing quote that we heard when Brendon was interviewing another influential thought leader, Dave Hollis. Specifically, in talking about the need to step out of your comfort zone in order to grow, Dave shared the following quote: “A ship in harbor is safe. But that’s not what ships are built for.” Our entire family loved this quote so much that Eva decided to make an entire episode about it, filled with some fun stories of course about Eva’s personal experiences stepping outside of her comfort zone. And we are currently using the quote to inspire Sophia to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels. We adopted the quote just a bit Dave and I hope you don’t mind 🙂 “A bike in the garage is safe. But that’s not what bikes are built for.” Haha. Thank you Dave Hollis for inspiring this episode, and hopefully you can join Eva on the Dream Big Podcast in the future to share more about this quote and why it is so meaningful to you.

It’s the start of New Year – a great time to develop new passions and new skills. About a month ago, Eva came to us filled with excitement as she explained her plans to plant a garden in 2021. When Eva sets her mind on something with this level of intention and focus, we know that nothing is going to stop her and so we are thrilled to support her new passion project. In this episode, Eva shares why she is so passionate about planting a garden, what she learned from our family’s failed attempt to do so a few years ago, and why this time the result is going to be different. Eva will be getting more active on the Dream Big Podcast Instagram account this year — so please be sure to follow us to get regular Instagram story updates on Eva’s garden, the podcast, and other exciting announcements this year. The entire Karpman family is almost as excited for 2021 as Eva is for her new garden, which means we are super, super excited 🙂
2020 is now officially history, and we can’t be more excited for a New Year. 2021 here we come! That said, with the many challenges of 2020 also came many important life lessons. The final week of every year, our family discusses what we learned from the past twelve months and how our success and missteps can inform our next trip around the sun. So in the 1st episode of 2021, we thought it would be appropriate for Eva to share the top 5 lessons we learned in 2020 and how we can all apply those lessons to our decisions in 2021 to make this the best year ever.
