    Dreams of Travel, Giving, & So More--Interview with Michele (Reprise)

    Michele inspired me so much with how well she lets her dreams work to travel, give, do so much more that I decided to rebroadcast her interview from my first season. Professionally, she purchases jewelry for a high-end catalogue. She also travels multiple times a month. In addition, she volunteers for a community garden, county sports facilities, other ventures. Finally, she cares for her mother who is an assisted-care facility. I hope her example inspires you.

  3. Created Their Own Iron Man

    Created Their Own Iron Man

    This is a story of an event I attended with three previous podcast guests. Dora and Daphne decided they wanted to compete in an iron event. Existing (or sanctioned) events did not interest them. The dream included putting the whole thing together: mapping the swimming, biking, and running routes. In addition, they arranged for people to staff the help stations and encourage them around the routes. Listen to how they optimized connections, acted consistently, labeled their limitations, and synergized every week. I hope it inspires you to let your dreams work.

  6. Dreams of Salt Water Taffy

    Dreams of Salt Water Taffy

    James Glade established the Glade Candy Company at the turn of the last century. The produced salt water taffy, hard candy, chocolates, and other candies. In the 1990s his sons David, Vernon, and Bud decided to focus their efforts on producing outstanding tasting salt water taffy using a unique production method. They whipped their taffy instead of the traditional pulling. The result provided a lighter, more flavorful taffy with the ability to expand the number of flavors and designs. I served in a non-profit organization with Vernon for several years. He would stop by the factory on his way to serve in our non-profit center to pick up a fresh bag of salt water taffy. The best salt water taffy I ever ate arrived warm from the production line.

    Musings on Self-Imposed Limitations

    Today’s fast-paced environment of torrential information, saturated stimuli, and frustrating situations send us to our reptilian mind where we either fight, flee, or freeze. Another limitation many encounter involves facing too many options in life and allowing the FOMO (fear of missing out) of one option if we pursue another to paralyze us. This episode shares some ideas on how to break the paralysis and move forward.
