Summary
We all want to be known- it’s a deep need inside of everyone. We want to have people in our lives we can count on to hold onto us even when we lose it a little. But, that gets tricky.
On one hand, we don’t want to be a bummer to our friends. We don’t want to weigh them down. On the other hand, we want to be people others can count on. We want to build ideas, companies, and lives that are strong and put together. But, when life gets too much, or when we experience loss or trauma, the worst thing possible is to realize you’re on your own.
Maybe you’re going through something difficult right now. Or, perhaps you have something painful that you’ve been holding onto. If you don’t, you certainly will in the future- there’s no escaping hardship, pain, or loss no matter what path you’re on. So, what will it look like to build the type of authentic connections you really need?
I’m so glad we could have my friend, Sheila Walsh, on the podcast to help us navigate these big ideas.
??Sheila Walsh grew up in Scotland and has spoken to over six million women around the world. Her passion is being a Bible teacher, making God’s Word practical, and sharing her own story of how God met her when she was at her lowest point and lifted her up again. Sheila loves writing, has sold almost six million books and is a national bestselling author. She is also the cohost of the television program Life Today, airing in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia, with almost one billion potential viewers daily. Calling Texas home, Sheila lives in Dallas with her husband, Barry; her son, Christian; and two little dogs, Tink and Maggie, who rule the roost.

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.

| 0:18.6 | it comes to the Dream Big framework. |
| 0:21.6 | It's about who we do life with because as we're pursuing big ambitions, building companies, |
| 0:27.0 | building ideas, building lives that matter, that count, there's really nothing more important |
| 0:32.6 | than the people that we do and share life with. |
| 0:36.2 | I think at an early age for me, college, when my family was going through this huge transition, |
| 0:43.2 | my parents were getting divorced, I felt this sense of loneliness and isolation almost |
| 0:48.5 | a panic. |
| 0:49.5 | If I don't figure out how to build close friendships now, I might never. |
| 0:54.8 | So I bid it lean towards and into friendships with guys that I've been friends now with for |
| 1:01.9 | 20 years. |
| 1:02.9 | Guys, John, Caleb, Charlie, Nick, Darrell, these guys that they honestly don't care what |
| 1:08.4 | I do. |
| 1:09.4 | They don't care about my success, not that they don't care, but I can lose it. |
| 1:13.8 | I can lose it all. |
| 1:15.8 | I can come on glued and they're not going anywhere. |
| 1:20.2 | The foundation of their friendship has meant the world for me. |
| 1:23.3 | It's enabled me to take risks and that's the same thing I think we all want. |
