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!

This week, Eva welcomes Ashley Stahl, a career coach, keynote speaker, podcast host (You Turn Podcast) and soon-to-be bestselling author of You Turn: Get Unstuck, Discover Your Direction, and Design Your Dream Career. Ashley has had one of the most interesting career paths of any Dream Big Podcast guest, starting her career as a counterterrorism professional at the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Ashley shares with Eva her fascinating journey from counterterrorism to career coaching and entrepreneurship, and offers incredible advice to our young Big Dreamers about discovering their core nature and starting to think about future career options that honor who we are and maximize our positive impact on the world. Be sure to pick up a copy of Ashley’s new You Turn book, where she shares the strategies she’s used to help thousands ditch their Monday blues, get clarity on what work lights them up, and devise an action plan to create a career they love.

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.

Eva talks a lot about success on the Dream Big Podcast, and she has interviewed many of the most successful people on the planet from Mark Cuban to General Stanely McCrystal and Mel Robbins. But one common pattern that Eva has noticed from all of her incredible guests is that they readily admit to countless failures along their journey to achieving their big dreams. We stumbled across a commencement address that Denzel Washington delivered at the University of Pennsylvania in 2011, where he eloquently shared that the way to fail is to fall forward, not backwards. In this episode, Eva shares a number of powerful examples from Denzel’s speech, and also how she literally learned the importance of falling forward and not backwards when she learned how to ride a unicycle this summer. Eva encourages all Big Dreamers to push outside their comfort zone as we enter a new year in 2021. Yes, you will fall along the way, but remember to fall forward and you will get back up and keep on moving forward towards your dreams. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/232
We are so thrilled to introduce Errol Gerson to all you Big Dreamers. Errol is the grandfather of Eva’s best friend Gianna, and a dear family friend. He also has just reached the remarkable milestone of teaching for 50 years at the ArtCenter College of Design. From his career as an entrepreneur, businessman and professor, Errol is uniquely qualified to share with our Big Dreamers the patterns of success over his incredible life. Errol was born in South Africa during Apartheid and shares with Eva why he immigrated to the United States and the hope he has for our future. Errol also happens to be the King of acronyms, and teaches a few of his favorite business acronyms to Eva (and by extension all you Big Dreamers) during their fascinating conversation.

We are just a few weeks away from closing out 2020. In January of this year, none of us could have ever imagined how 2020 would unfold. In-person schools, camps, sporting events, concerts, extracurricular activities… all CANCELLED. And even worse, millions of people contracting COVID and the impacts the shutdowns have had on the economy. With everything we just mentioned, it is easy to see how many will remember 2020 as the worst year ever. But in this episode, Eva shares how we can look back at 2020 and actually find things to be grateful for. 2020 will soon be history, and one day our kids will tell their kids about what it was like living through a global pandemic. In this episode, Eva shares that how we will remember 2020 will come down to one word 🙂 You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out what that word is, but we did want to thank Gary Vaynerchuk for inspiring this episode. Gary is a legendary entrepreneur and thought leader who often talks about focusing on what you can control versus what you cannot. To close the episode, Eva also shares an exercise we suggest you all do as a family before the end of the year to ensure your kids remember the positive aspects of 2020, and not just the negative ones. It no doubt has been an incredibly challenging year, but we are grateful to have grown closer as a family and to have shared this year with all you Big Dreamers. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/230
