TODAY’S GUEST

To be honest, most of the time when we suggest potential guests for Eva to interview — she has never heard of that person. Eva is very curious by nature, so she is always happy to chat with anyone — but once in a while we are able to provide the ultimate treat which is an interview with a person that she already admires! And that is certainly the case with Chris Colfer. Chris rose to fame as a Golden Globe-winning actor best known for his role as “Kurt Hummel”” on Glee. But to Eva, Chris is the author of one of her favorite book series — The Land Of Stories.

Eva has devoured all of the books in the series, so she was beyond thrilled when Chris agreed to come on the podcast. And as you’ll hear, he was super nice, gracious with his time, and has tons of amazing advice for you Big Dreamers! And later that same evening, we saw that Chris was on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon! So he started his morning talking to Eva and end with Jimmy. Now that’s an epic day of interviews 🙂 Enjoy the episode!

DREAM BIG ACADEMY – BETA

If you are a long-time listener, you know that we are working on a course that we are going to launch in 2019 called the Dream Big Academy.   The first section of the course is all about this concept of self-belief. And we just completed this section!

We really want all of our Big Dreamers to have access to this information – so we are going to offer the first section for FREE for a limited time.  It is essentially its own course on confidence — with over 1 hour of videos with Eva teaching on the subject!  We hired an amazing illustrator who helped us with the videos and accompanying worksheets. We are so incredibly proud of this content and know it can have a huge impact.   We hear from so many listeners who say that their kids really connect with Eva since she is a peer – and we know that this same connection will carry over to the course. To access this free confidence course, please go to DreamBigPodcast.com/Beta
