<a href="https://soundcarrot.com/shows/shows/dream-big/page/30/" 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>This episode we take a pause from the “Dream Big” theme to share a timeless quote from Maya Angelou: “People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.” Eva talks so much about setting big goals and taking action on the podcast — but what we have been really focused on as a family is how we make each other feel. Are we kind to one another? Are we there to support one another? Eva shares how we have started to put a huge emphasis on kindness, compassion and love in our household — and why being known for these qualities is way more important than the accolades you can ever achieve in school, extracurriculars, and ultimately in your career. Be sure to listen to the episode to hear Eva’s story about why we shared Maya’s quote at a recent family dinner, and see how it is impacting how we are treating one another, our extended family, and our friends. If tensions are high in your household (especially amidst all the stress of these challenging times), then we hope Maya’s quote has a similar impact in your home 🙂 Links are in the show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/204
This week’s guest is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world and someone who many predict will one day be the President of the United States. He’s also the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and “Shark” from ABC’s hit show Shark Tank. And I’m sure by now you know that Eva’s guest is none other than Mark Cuban. Mark is undoubtedly one of the busiest people on the planet, and the fact that he took 20 minutes out of his schedule to have a one-on-one discussion with Eva is a true honor. We are also excited to share that we have started to record Eva’s interviews on video as well, so be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel and follow us on Instagram where we will be posting video clips too!

First, we can’t contain our excitement! In our next episode, you will be hearing Eva’s interview with Mark Cuban. Yes, that Mark Cuban! Not to downplay today’s episode, which is amazing too! We are sharing a special poem that we wrote on how the pandemic can be compared to turbulence on an airplane. Eva first shared this analogy in Episode 191 — and the feedback was so great that we decided to make it into a poem too. We even had our illustrator add fun artwork — you can check out the poem on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Links are in the show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/202
We all know the classic kids song “Row Row Row Your Boat”. Just a simple, catchy song for toddlers, right? Well, that’s what we thought until we learned the hidden meaning and now we’ll never never think of the song the same way again. Thank you Prince EA for cracking the code of Row, Row, Row Your Boat — and for being such an inspiring storyteller in general. We are including his original video in the resources section of the show notes, and we encourage you to check it out. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/201
Eva launched the Dream Big Podcast in October 2016 at the age of 7. This week we are celebrating Eva’s birthday (she turns 11) and her 200th episode! In discussing what we should do for this special episode, Eva decided she wanted to share the #1 secret she has learned from recording and publishing 200 episodes. In addition, we created a special poem to commemorate this milestone. Be sure to follow us on social media (links in the show notes) as we are actually posting videos of Eva reciting the poem and have added professional illustrations to the poem too.

Like millions of other kids with March, April and May birthdays, Eva’s big birthday plans have been cancelled. Her elementary school graduation — at least the big celebration that has been planned – is also not happening. We feel for all the high school and college seniors who are missing out on the festivities associated with traditional commencements. In this episode, Eva explains that while she was initially bummed out about having to cancel her big birthday plans, she’s not angry about it. Eva also shares the 1-word secret to not getting angry about how life has changed as a result of this pandemic. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/199
Eva wanted to take a break from the Pandemic-related content for the week, and share an incredibly touching story that has recently resurfaced. It’s the story of Natalie Gilbert, who in 1993 at the age of 13, forgot the lyrics of the National Anthem in front of 20,000 fans at a NBA playoff game. The biggest moment of Natalie’s life quickly became the most terrifying. The whole stadium went silent — yet one man, Maurice Cheeks, came to Natalie’s rescue and exhibited an act of kindness that forever changed Natalie’s life. What’s even more remarkable is how Natalie did not let a performer’s worst nightmare destroy her dream, and thanks to Maurice Cheeks she even now describes the experience as “perfect.” We are thrilled to share this feel-good story of kindness during these challenging times. We also encourage you to watch the full news segment, which we linked to in the show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/198
We have definitely noticed that Eva’s happiest moments during this crisis have been out in nature. Whether that’s been on bike rides or walks in the neighborhood (practicing social distancing of course), or sitting on the low climbing tree in our yard, or escaping with the family to an off-the-beaten-path hiking trail — these times in nature have been pure magic for our family. In this episode, Eva shares the scientifically proven health benefits of nature, and how being outside has been so therapeutic during these challenging times. We highly encourage you to get your kids outside — of course keeping in mind the health guidelines and law for your local communities. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/197
