The Dream Big Podcast is a family-friendly podcast inspiring kids (and adults!) to pursue their passions in life and take action to make their dreams a reality. Your hosts Eva Karpman (currently 7-years-old in 2nd grade) and mom Olga Karpman interview world-class performers who do what they love and live their dreams each and every day. As we know our listeners have a wide range of passions and interests, we aim to invite guests who are extraordinary achievers from eclectic areas (think Olympians like Scott Hamilton, celebrity animal trainers like Zak George, other top podcasters like Dan Carlin and John Lee Dumas, grammy-winning musicians like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, renowned scientists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, successful entrepreneurs like Tim Ferriss, Ellen DeGeneres, and Oprah -- we like to DREAM BIG too!). The Dream Big Podcast’s short 15-20 minute format makes for the perfect length to listen to an episode in the car with your kids. Each episode features free personalized discussion sheets that you can download and print at home to have a thought-provoking discussion as a family (great parenting!) about what you learned listening to that week’s episode. Subscribe and together we can inspire each other to dream big and take action. To get to the podcast website, cut and paste the link DreamBigPodcast.com into your browser. Get ready to DREAM BIG!

DB 219: Humble The Poet On How Expectations Can Be An Enemy To Happiness

Sep 28, 2020

Humble The Poet (Eva’s guest in Episode 146) has an amazing book out called Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths for a Better Life.  In that book, Humble writes that “Unhappiness is simply when the picture in your head does not match the picture in front of you.”  And that “expectations are a bigger enemy to our happiness than our circumstances.”   Eva really loved both those quotes, and wanted to ask Humble to expand on those concepts.  So she filmed a quick video question for Humble, who was kind enough to record a thoughtful response.  Now more than ever, as we continue to navigate 2020 in very uncertain times, we think Humble’s message about expectations is really important for all Big Dreamers to hear.   Enjoy!  Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/219
