Summary

Joining us on this episode is New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and philanthropist Bob Goff, who continues his mission of inspiring people to step boldly into the lives they were meant to live—before fear, doubt, or someone else’s opinion told them otherwise.

Bob, known as an “encourager to millions,” is the creator of the popular Dream Big framework and conferences, where he helps people turn their wildest aspirations into reality. He’s also the bestselling author of Love Does, Everybody, Always, Dream Big, and his latest book, Undistracted: Capture Your Purpose. Rediscover Your Joy.

Beyond writing and speaking, Bob is actively involved in humanitarian work through his nonprofit, Love Does, which has been impacting lives around the world for over two decades. Whether he’s teaching at Pepperdine Law School, skydiving on a whim, or answering every phone call from strangers who find his number in his books, Bob lives by his belief that whimsy, love, and action can change the world.
