Dream Ignition

About this episode

The episode discusses the ignition of dreams through personal experiences and the importance of systems over future targets.

We revisit Michelle’s Mirage III flight at seven that kicked off her dream ignition. Those colouring-in prizes turned into flights on Caribou, Chinook and Hercules. Guy explains his late-bloom path to the Olympics and how the right environment changes your pace. We compare goals and routines and why systems keep you happier than future targets. We also break down true confidence versus contextual confidence and how to build the one that holds anywhere. Recorded in Bali with cicadas, geckos, dogs and white-water rafters in the background.
