DB 156: The Time I Didn’t Take “NO” For An Answer
10:50 | Episode: 156 | September 23rd, 2019

Last December, we were invited by our dear friends Jackie and Chris to spend the weekend at their cabin in Lake Arrowhead.  The highlight of the weekend for Eva was riding her own go-kart for the very first time. There is a go-kart track in Lake Arrowhead Village, and Eva had just barely made the height requirement and was permitted to ride on her own.   We were graciously invited again to join Jackie and Chirs this summer, so right away Eva asked if we could ride go-karts again. When we arrived at the track, the cashier told Eva she could not ride because she was not tall enough. Eva was understandably upset — given that 8 months ago she had been allowed to ride so she had not even entertained the possibility that this would happen.  In this episode, Eva shares two very important lessons with our Big Dreamers about how she responded to this “NO” — and how she ultimately was able to get a “YES” and once again make riding go-karts a highlight of the weekend. This is a powerful episode because Eva could have easily let that “NO” ruin her day, and perhaps the entire weekend. For show notes, please visit DreamBigPodcast.com/156

DB 155: My 1st Dodgers Game & What Made It So Special!
10:10 | Episode: 155 | September 16th, 2019

This is Alex, Eva’s dad, writing.  Last month, I took Eva on a daddy-daughter date to Dodger stadium.   Eva had been asking to go to a Dodgers game for some time now — and I finally got the tickets and put it on the calendar.  I turned out to be an incredible evening — filled with memories that she and I will never forget. I always knew that Eva was a powerful young lady — so I guess it should not have been a surprise that minutes after telling me it would be amazing to come home with a foul ball — she indeed had a foul ball in her hands.    I have many friends who have been to hundreds of games and have yet to catch a foul ball, and Eva got one at her very first game! As Eva shares in the episode, the whole day and evening was magical, and Eva shares a powerful lesson that I’m sure both kids and adults could hear about how to make your experiences in life magical — even when it is not your very 1st Dodger game 🙂   Enjoy!

DB 154: What To Do When One Of Your Heroes Dies…. R.I.P. Sean Stephenson
07:23 | Episode: 154 | September 9th, 2019

In this week’s episode, Eva shares her feelings about the recent passing of Sean Stephensen.  This is the first time Eva has ever talked about death on the podcast, and as you know, the podcast is typically upbeat.  But Sean was a guest on the podcast and someone our whole family considered to be a hero. While those who loved Sean were devastated to learn this tragic news, Eva does have an uplifting message about how Sean’s legacy can and will live on.   She also shares practical advice on how to deal with the loss of someone you admire. For those of you who are not familiar with Sean Stephensen, he was born with a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta — causing him to have fragile bones that break very easily.  By the time Sean was 18 years old, he had suffered more than 200 fractures in all parts of his body. The condition also stunted Sean’s growth, and as an adult Sean stood 3 feet tall and lived his life in a wheelchair. Sean became affectionately known as a 3 foot giant, because despite all the medical challenges he has faced over his life, he made the decision to lead an extraordinary life.  In the process, he inspired millions worldwide, including Sir Richard Branson, President Clinton, Tony Robbins and the Dalai Lama. He was also a great inspiration to our family. Before the Dream Big Podcast had landed big name guests and racked up millions of downloads, Sean agreed to be Eva’s guest. He was so kind and gracious, and shared a powerful story that forever impacted the way our family looks at challenges (Eva shares that story on this podcast, but we encourage you to listen to the original interview).      In the title of this episode, we refer to Sean as a hero. He was not a hero with a cape. Far from it — he was confined to a wheelchair. But the doctors told Sean’s parents at his birth that he would live 24-48 hours. He lived 40 years. The fact that he defied those odds and lived such an extraordinary life for that long is heroic. And he’s a hero, Eva and our whole family will never forget. All our love to his incredible wife Mindie Kniss — we are thinking of you and will never forget your amazing husband.

DB 153: Master This One Skill And Never Be Boring Again!
12:02 | Episode: 153 | September 2nd, 2019

A few weeks ago, we took Eva to her first marketing event, put on by ClickFunnels which is the marketing software we use in our businesses.   During the event, the CEO of ClickFunnels Russell Brunson shared the power of storytelling. Specifically, Russell explained that emotional stories are the key component to drive people to make buying decisions.   And of course, stories can be persuasive in non-business contexts as well. Students who learn to tell persuasive stories can influence classmates to move in a certain direction in team projects, and will find it easier to make (and keep) great friends.    In this episode, Eva shares the key takeaway on how to tell powerful stories, and provides an example to illustrate the difference between a boring and engaging story. We also suggest you start practicing the art of storytelling at the dinner table. If you are used to getting the one sentence answer to “How was your day at school today?” — then encouraging your family to tell engaging stories will liven up the dinner conversation.  Perhaps you can share some stories from your day at work to participate in the exercise as well. We learned about the skill of storytelling at a marketing conference, so this can be a helpful exercise for the adult Big Dreamers as well 🙂

DB 152: Back To School Challenge – Choose Positive Friends!
07:35 | Episode: 152 | August 26th, 2019

This episode is being published around the time that most of our younger Big Dreamers are back to school after summer vacation.   To start the school year off right, Eva thought it would be fun to do a Back To School challenge. Typically, in the first month of school, students tend to gravitate towards the groups of classmates that they will spend the majority of their time with throughout the school year.   Eva challenges all of the students listening to choose friends with positive attitudes about school and life in general. She also explains WHY choosing to surround yourself with positive people will have an impact on how you perceive the world, and the scientific evidence to back it up!   By the same token, she highlights the dangers of surrounding yourself with negative peers. This is such an important lesson to teach our kids at a young age, and a good reminder for the adult Big Dreamers listening as well.

DB 151: Luck is for Leprechauns and You Are Not Green!
09:19 | Episode: 151 | August 19th, 2019

The title of this episode is Luck is for Leprechauns and you are not green.   It’s a famous quote from one of the most motivational people on the planet – Eric Thomas.  We can say that with confidence because his Youtube videos gets tens of millions of views — and they are all about how you can find your purpose and then turn your dreams into reality.    As you can probably tell from the quote — Eric does not believe that you should wait around and hope your dreams come true. Eric is all about being proactive when it comes to your dreams.  Eva shares why you need to be prepared to put in hard work to be successful, and provides examples of the legendary work ethic of former guests Kobe Bryant and Ruby Rose Turner. We have always told our Big Dreamers that dreaming alone is not enough – you also need to be willing to work and that’s what this episode is all about!   Thank you Eric Thomas for this powerful quote, which we know will resonate with our young Big Dreamers.

DB 150: Felecia Hatcher on Popsicles, Entrepreneurship & Being A Champion For Change
23:34 | Episode: 150 | August 12th, 2019

Today we welcome Felecia Hatcher — who had literally the coolest job ever — as “Chief Popsicle” of Feverish Ice Cream – a company she founded.   For the past decade, Felecia has dedicated her life to inspiring a new generation of leaders and creating diverse tech/startup ecosystems. An author and globally sought after speaker, Felecia has been honored at the White House on two occasions for the impact of her entrepreneurship and the social impact of her work.  You’ll fall in love with Felecia’s positive energy. We were inspired that she not only became a successful entrepreneur in her own right, but also has been paying forward by helping so many others to become successful entrepreneurs as well.

DB 149: The Most Important Conversation You’ll Ever Have
09:52 | Episode: 149 | August 5th, 2019

Recently, we became familiar with the work of David Goggins, bestselling author of Can’t Hurt Me.  David had an incredibly tough childhood –and was going down a very dangerous path in life. Ultimately he defied all odds, became an active Navy SEAL and then later a world class ultra athlete and world record holder.   Now, unfortunately, we can’t recommend the book for our younger Big Dreamers as it certainly not intended for kids — but for our adult Big Dreamers — we highly encourage you to check out David’s inspiring work and follow his highly entertaining Instagram.   While his content is not suitable for kids — there are many important lessons David shares in his book and videos that younger Big Dreamers can benefit from. In this podcast episode, Eva shares David’s thoughts on the most important conversation you’ll ever have  — which of course is the conversation inside your mind. Your self-talk will determine whether you get started and whether you continue or quit when the going gets tough. We love David’s advice on the subject and Eva shares some examples of how she has applied it in her own life in recent months.  Enjoy this powerful episode!
