Dreaming Big | Life Beyond The Average
About this episode
In this episode, the hosts discuss the importance of dreaming big and how life goals can evolve over time.
Can you succeed without setting expectations & goals to hit? In Episode #520 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: riff on dreaming big: how our top‑level life aims can stay steady for decades while the reasons and execution evolve, whether you truly need a “big dream” to reach elite performance, how to cultivate direction in your twenties by chasing curiosity and I tease a 20‑year out‑of‑this‑world goal that’s resurfaced from childhood.
