Summary
If you're like me, then you want the story of your life to make a big splash- a meaningful impact in the world. The most important part of that, of course, is the way you live your life. The other part is how you reflect on the life that you're living. I try to do that through the stories I tell.
If you want to make an impact with your words, then you're going to want to listen to today's new podcast episode and take a load of notes.
Allison Trowbridge is the founder and CEO of Copper (https://copperbooks.com), a platform using curated content to help people gather in meaningful community. She's also the host of the "Pub Date" podcast, where she interviews authors launching their books to market and gets the story behind the story they are sharing with the world. Allison published her book, “Twenty-Two: Letters to a Young Woman Searching for Meaning” in 2017 with HarperCollins while completing her MBA at Oxford’s Said Business School. She became obsessed with publishing after witnessing a handful of books ignite the global anti-slavery movement, where she worked for nearly a decade leading marketing, fundraising, and international campaigns.

Become a Certified Dream Big Coach
There are people who are one coaching session away from radically changing the trajectory of their lives. We all dream about making a difference in other people's lives. Some of us are called to make a deliberate, focused impact through the work of coaching.
It's what we're all wired for- to make a real difference. More than just the desire, though, affecting change in other people's lives is serious business, with core competencies and tools you can learn and implement. There are people close to you who...
Feel like they're missing out on a different life, a life that others seem to experience.
Were hoping that it would've all just worked out by now, but it hasn't.
Wondering if this life is as good as it gets.
Who will intervene and guide them to a different reality?

Also, we have two Dream Big live workshops coming up in December and January. Join Bob Goff at The Oaks December 6-8 for a three-day experience and bring your dreams along! What better way to prepare for the new year than to prioritize your dreams, set some goals, and make them a reality. Your dream might seem ridiculous, but not here. The bigger your dreams are, the better.
The Dream Big framework is Bob's personal outline to dream execution in a straightforward 7-step approach. You'll spend 3 days hearing from Bob's experiences and collaboration with a tight-knit collective of other dreamers like you. During the sessions, Bob will help you stop hitting the wall and repeating the same mistakes when trying to start your dream. He'll come alongside and show you how to make room in your everyday life to make your goals happen.
The recipe for success pairs Bob’s expertise with an intimate, small group setting where your dream will...

| 0:00.0 | Well, come back to another episode of The Dream Big Podcast with Bob Goffin-Frenzai. |
| 0:13.8 | I'm your host, Scott Schimmel. |
| 0:16.3 | And the first time I met Bob, it was years before he wrote Love Does. |
| 0:21.5 | And I remember, you know, halfway through the conversation we were having, he pulled out |
| 0:26.4 | a piece of paper and wrote down a note. |
| 0:29.0 | It's like in the middle of a sentence, and then he continues to talk. |
| 0:32.5 | And then a few minutes later, he did it again. |
| 0:34.8 | And I think I gave him sort of a puzzling look as though I'm saying, what are you doing? |
| 0:39.9 | And he said, oh, you know, these ideas come to me, these memories come to me and I'm just, |
| 0:44.6 | I've been on this project to try to write down every memory that I've ever had. |
| 0:50.1 | And you're, you know, you're kidding, which is what I thought. |
| 0:53.8 | He wasn't kidding. |
| 0:55.0 | He was working on it and have been working on it for years. |
| 0:57.7 | And that's before he wrote a book. |
| 1:00.1 | And I have tried to do something very similar to think back and all the memories from my |
| 1:07.1 | life, based on Bob's influence. |
| 1:10.4 | And you know, that's been so helpful at bedtime for my kids. |
| 1:13.6 | I've got no shortage of stories to tell. |
| 1:17.6 | But there's also something that happens that I've found as I think back and remember |
| 1:22.4 | the stories and memories. |
| 1:24.9 | I can actually start seeing themes and patterns. |
| 1:28.7 | I can connect the dots. |
