Welcome to Nobody Told Me.

I'm Laura Owens, and I'm Jan Black.

And joining us on this episode is New York Times bestselling author Bob Goff,

who's on a mission to shake people

into the version of their lives they dreamt about before someone told them it was impossible or

incorrect.

Bob, who's known as an encourager to millions, is the creator of the popular Dream Big conferences

and author of the new book, Dream Big, Know What You Want, Why You Want It,

and What You're Going to Do About it. Bob, thank you so much for joining us.

Oh, yeah, great to be with you. And hello everybody who's listening. This is great.

Tell us how you came to be on this mission to help other people realize their own dreams.

Yeah, I think I was kind of smiling when you said, shake people up to do this. I hope I'm just like kind of nudging people,

maybe a reminder. Sometimes people tie strings around their fingers as reminder, use post-it notes.

But to be this reminder to say, what was this ambition that you had that you

just kind of bailed on? Like life got busy or you got busy or you had a couple setbacks along the

way and you just like kind of moved on. And I just want to revisit that and to say,

would it be worth dust, dusting that ambition

often going after it again, whatever it is.

Maybe it's a graduate degree.

Maybe it's a relationship.

Maybe it's like, who knows what it'll be.

But I just want to revisit some of those ambitions.
