Summary
Whether you feel it acutely or not, today marks a new season. As the long, hot summer days wane, and the shorter, crisp days of autumn come upon us, it's a natural moment to pause and pay attention to the transitions of our lives, too.
So, we wanted to put together a special episode this week that can help you take an appropriate pause and reflect on the bigger things that are happening. We're taking a look back, too, as we pull a few excerpts from previous conversations we've had on the podcast.
We'd also like to extend to you a free month of our exclusive Bob Weekly content. All you have to do is click this link and sign up for a month of video teachings and a guided curriculum.
All my best to you this fall season.

The Dream Big Academy
Living a focused, engaged life of love, adventure, and impact shouldn't be a mystery.
It's what we're all wired for, it's what we all long for. But, it's not the norm. From all the places I've traveled to and the people I've met, I know that most people don't experience that kind of life. They feel...
Like they're missing out on a different life, a life that others seem to experience.
That it should've all just worked out by now, but it hasn't.
Frankly, like they're languishing- and this must be as good as it gets.
But, there's so much more...
That's why we started putting these digital courses together. I can't travel everywhere, and not everyone can travel to me. But, what if there was a way to share life together and walk through these simple ideas I've been learning?
Before, we've released these courses one at a time. Then we'd close the registration. But through the pandemic, we learned that a LOT of people want to keep growing, and they're looking for a framework they can trust.
So, we put them all together- 6 interactive digital courses. Two specifically designed to help you identify and unleash your big ambitions. One for budding authors. Another for speakers. A course for your family. A course for your career. With more coming in the future.
And, since we already have Bob Weekly as a monthly subscription for exclusive content, we threw that in there, too.
The Dream Big Academy is the place to go for people wanting to get serious about the shape of their lives.
I'd love for you to learn more- maybe even watch a short webinar we put together that goes into more detail.

| 0:00.0 | Well, hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Dream Big Podcast. This is Scott |
| 0:13.8 | Shimmel, your host. And today we're doing something a bit different in terms of the content |
| 0:18.8 | rather than have a specific guest and a conversation. We're actually going to pull a few excerpts |
| 0:24.0 | from previous episodes, almost like a best-out series, and talk about transitioning, because |
| 0:30.0 | you probably have noticed those long summer hot days are shortening, and those shorter, |
| 0:37.5 | cooler, crisper, fall days are coming. I'm in San Diego, so we don't see or feel the |
| 0:42.6 | acute changes of the seasons, maybe like you do if you're somewhere else in the world. |
| 0:47.0 | But we still feel it. We feel it. As our kids go back to school, as football starts, we |
| 0:51.1 | feel it in the short days. I'm starting to get dark early, and the soccer season starting |
| 0:56.0 | for our kids. Maybe you see it in the pumpkin spice lattes. Maybe you're a fan, or your |
| 1:01.3 | fall candles that my wife's got out. But the idea of transitioning from one season to |
| 1:06.1 | a next is actually a really helpful framework. It's a really helpful tool for us in our |
| 1:11.6 | lives to take a pause, to not just roll right into the next season, but actually stop |
| 1:15.6 | pause and reflect on where we've been, what's going on, and where we're going. We want |
| 1:21.4 | to guide you through that. First, we've got an excerpt from a conversation that Bob and |
| 1:25.5 | I did a couple years ago about clearing the path. The idea of it is, let's take a step |
| 1:31.6 | back. Let's take a look back on where we've been, and maybe how we've caught or been |
| 1:37.4 | caught by some things that have happened in our lives. Make sure that we deal with it, |
| 1:42.8 | process it, and figure out what to do with it before we move on. |
| 1:47.7 | Bob, I was thinking on the way over to senior today that you and I had a conversation. We've |
| 1:51.9 | had a few conversations that have been impactful for me. But one of those was a few years ago, |
| 1:56.6 | when I was contemplating moving from a very stable job that made my parents happy to |
