450: The Subtle Art of Noticing A Solocast with DREAM THINK DO Founder - Mitch Matthews
jeudi 2 avril 2026 • Durée 44:24
450 episodes. Over 337 hours of conversations and interviews. Thousands of hours of research. And if Mitch Matthews had to boil all of it down to one game-changing practice?
It would be this: The Subtle Art of Noticing.
In this milestone solo episode, Mitch reflects on what 450 episodes of Dream Think Do have taught him and he lands on a concept that's been quietly showing up in almost every DTD conversation he's had.
It's a powerful theme and once Mitch saw it, he couldn't unsee it. Whether it's in your leadership, your relationships, your creative work, or your next big dream… this concept represents one of the most powerful skills you can develop… and one of the greatest gifts you can give. \
Plus, Mitch shares a practical 7-Day Win Challenge you can begin… TODAY...
449: The Ancient Word That Reframes Worry Completely (And Why Lifelong Worriers Need to Hear It Most) A Solocast with DTD Founder - Mitch Matthews
jeudi 26 février 2026 • Durée 51:06
If you've ever gone from calm… to full-blown "Formula 1-level" worry in 2.6 seconds flat… this episode is for you.
In this powerful (and very personal) solo episode, Mitch opens up about his lifelong battle with worry - from illnesses as a kid… to becoming really good at hiding anxiety as an adult… to the wake-up call that finally made him say, "Enough."
But this isn't a "just don't worry about it" talk. (Because we all know that doesn't work.)
440: Call Out the Elephant: How Great Leaders Face Conflict with Empathy and Clarity An Interview With President & CEO of Des Moines University Dr. Angela Walker Franklin
jeudi 4 décembre 2025 • Durée 53:05
In this inspiring and deeply authentic episode, Mitch sits down with someone he recently shared the TEDx stage with - Dr. Angela Walker Franklin. Dr. Franklin is the President and CEO of Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences, and not only is she the first woman and first person of color to hold that role in the university's 125+ year history… she's also a licensed clinical psychologist, a published author, and a powerful voice for leading with empathy, courage, and clarity.
They dive into her unique upbringing in a small South Carolina town - where her family ran a funeral home - and how that shaped her perspective on life, leadership, and compassion. You'll hear how her father made a bold, sacrificial pivot from medical school to embalming school to support the family's legacy… and how Dr. Franklin has brought that same spirit of service and innovation into her work today.
They also explore the origins of her impactful TEDx talk, "How to Call Out the Elephant in the Room," and how she brought this strategy into leadership meetings, creating a safe space for honest dialogue and collaboration.
This episode is filled with laughter, heartfelt stories, and powerful strategies for anyone looking to lead well, connect deeply, and navigate hard conversations with grace. Let's go!
352: Personal Branding for Business and Life with Travis Crutcher
mercredi 2 mars 2022 • Durée 01:04:27
Travis Crutcher is back as my guest… and THIS time we're talking about how important the concept of "Personal Branding" needs to be to EVERYONE right now. No matter what you do for work… whether you own your own business or you work for someone else… personal brand matters. AND… let's be real… personal brand… at least how we're going to define it… matters in LIFE too. Now, we're not talking about trying to be famous or to go all Cardasian. What we're talking about is how do you present yourself to the world? And we're going to talk about heart stuff… mental stuff… business strategy and life strategy and I think you're going to dig it! Especially if you're wanting to make an impact on the world in some small or big way. With your career… your business and… or… your life! And hey… if you're listening to DREAM THINK DO… I know that's true for you!
Now, I'm going to be talking with my friend Travis Crutcher for this episode. You may remember from episode 344… but Travis is a Success Coach and Speaker who helps dynamic people get clarity, increase impact, and live a life they love! He's a Retired Army Ranger and he spent some time in the corporate space as an executive too. After all of that… he launched his coaching and speaking business and I'm VERY proud to say that he's a key member of Acceleration… my mastermind for coaches and speakers. And that's given me a front-row seat to see him applying the concepts we're going to be talking about in his business and more importantly… he's also using them to make the world a better place!
Oh… and make sure you listen to the very end… because even though my bride Melissa isn't "officially" on this episode… I tell a story about her that Travis and I agreed… allowed her to steal the show! So yeah… stay with it! I think you're going to dig it… so let's dive in!

351: One of the Most Important Questions to Ask!
jeudi 24 février 2022 • Durée 45:07
We're answering a great question from a fellow DREAM THINK DO listener this week. He asked, "As a Success Coach… what's one of the most important questions you ask people?" Whew. I love that and… as you'll hear… I get pretty fired up to answer it.
In fact, the question that we dig into is one that you can use to get more clear, build your confidence and help you to stay inspired. But it's also a question you can use at work with your teams, your co-workers and… heck, even with leaders above you. Plus, you can use it with your family and friends too.
I don't want to sound like I'm trying to over-hype this question… but seriously… it's THAT powerful! And it's sooooooo important to ask (in multiple scenarios)! So get excited. Let's dive in!

346: It's officially "RESET WEEK" to get clear on our goals and new habits and RESTART 2022!
mercredi 19 janvier 2022 • Durée 54:18
We're declaring this week (the 3rd week of January) as our first annual: "RESET WEEK!" Why? Well… I think we can all agree that it's a solid idea to establish a specific time each year to set some new goals and start some new habits. That's a good and healthy thing. Right? But who's the jackhole who suggested we try doing that during the holidays??? Seriously? That timing is nuts! Heck… I think it's the biggest reason why most New Year's resolutions fail so quickly!!! Think about it… is the best time to start a new diet really the same week you're just coming off a glutinous multi-day tour of Christmas meals with four different sets of family? Is the best time to establish a new exercise plan really the same week you haven't gotten out of your PJ's for 3 out of 7 days? Is the best time to experiment with better spending habits the same week the employees at Target started to greet you by your first name when you walked in for that one last "quick" gift? The answer is no. A very solid no. On all counts.
In this podcast, I walk you through three powerful and deceptively simple (and fun) strategies to help you set some new goals, get clear on what you want and truly thrive this WEEK and this YEAR! Let's give ourselves some grace and some space to "reset" and to set ourselves up for a MUCH better year! Who's with me? #letsdothis

One recent question really applies to BOTH the "Abundant Life Playbook" and the "Elite Coach Playbook," is: "As a coach... what's one of the most important questions you ask?"
THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION! And I couldn't help myself but dive into it! And as you can imagine… since I've been a full-time coach for almost 20 years… I have a lot of favorite questions. BUT one of my favorites and one of the most important has to be:
"What does success look like"
This is a powerful question if you're a coach or a mentor. This is a powerful question if you're a leader or a manager. This is a powerful question if you're a parent or a friend. It even is important to ask in a romantic relationship. So yeah… as you can see… it's a favorite!
It's a great question to ask others… but it's also a great question to ask yourself as you're journaling, meditating, and praying.
I love this question because it's MACRO and it's MICRO:
MACRO - Large scale... EVERYTHING... All-encompassing… BIG PICTURE.
MICRO - Minute by minute... the small stuff... the little but important stuff… day-to-day!
Are you sold? I hope so. So let's dive in!
MACRO-LEVEL EXAMPLES:
Let's talk about some examples of "MACRO" versions of this question.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE FOR:
This year?
This season of my career?
My team... this year?
[NOTE: You can sure talk to your team about this and ask THEM too!]
You can use this question as you consider the different ROLES you have in life:
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE FOR:
For me as a parent?
For me as a spouse? (If you're dating… What does success look like in this relationship?)
For me as a leader?
For me as a volunteer?
For me as a team member?
It can also be a question to ask yourself… when it comes to the way you want to live life:
What does success look like for how I want to LIVE?
Now… let's talk about the question at a MICRO LEVEL:
As in… how can you apply it TODAY? How can you use it to help guide you a moment to moment… today?
I like to add the "Rule of 3" here to drill down to some specifics. So I simply add "three things" to the question.
For example:
What are 3 things that would make today a success?
If I journal that… I might come up with things like:
Engage well with others.
Stay present.
Focus and get XYZ done.
Have gas left in the tank for my family tonight
To have FUN as I work today.
To show people gratitude throughout the day.
To bring my best work as often as possible.
Then… I'd pick the 3 most important for that day.
Or another example is if you're prepping for a hard conversation, you might ask:
What are 3 things that are within my control that would make this conversation a success?
You might come up with things like:
I will be prepared.
I will show the person I love/honor/respect them... no matter what (even in a business situation)
I'm ready to share my perceptions and I'm open to theirs.
Another example is I recently hired a new VA. So… I asked myself, "What are 3 things that would make my new team member's onboarding a success?"
Some things I came up with were:
Help her to feel welcomed.
Help her to know we believe in her.
Help her to know what success looks like. (Ironic… right? LOL!)
THIS makes for a great prayer too. Some of my favorite questions as I pray are:
Lord... what do you want me to know... today?
Lord.. what do you want me to do… today?
Lord… what does success look like... today?
NOTE: The topic of favorite questions I ask during prayer could TOTALLY be its own episode. So, if you dig that or you'd want me to dig into that more... leave a comment or send me an email and let me know!
TIME TO TAKE ACTION:
Where do you want to apply this question... this week?
Work?
Life?
Relationships?
Volunteering?
Leadership?
Entrepreneurship?
Family?
Go big... and ask a MACRO QUESTION or two.
Then be sure to go MICRO too… and experiment with the "Rule of 3" to bring it to something specific... today.

STEPS:
Come up with some of your "BE" words this year

EVEN MORE ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Here's the 3rd question to help guide you through your "RESET WEEK!"
Question 3: What's something you want to change or tweak this year?
It can be big or small… but here's a simple process to help you get clear on a few specific things.
STEP 1: Create a list of "possible" areas for tweaks and changes.
Here are some areas to consider.
Internal:
Mindset
Outlook
Spiritual-Life
Beliefs
Habits
External:
Career
Business
Relationships
Network
Team
STEP 2: Pick one to three and ask yourself, "Why would this be important to change this year?"
"If you get clear on your WHY, your HOW will always come!"
STEP 3: Ask yourself, "What's one small but significant step I could take this week?"
PERSONAL EXAMPLE: I love doing this DREAM THINK DO podcast, but as it grows… it's possible to fall out of love with it. It can get overwhelming. Example: We get 50+ pitches a week to be on the show!
But I prayed about it and took this 3-step process. As a result, I realized for 2022, I'm going to simplify and only teach from 3 different playbooks I'm excited about!
The Abundant Life Playbook
The Elite Coach Playbook
The Growing Business Playbook
Then… as another small but significant step, I put a schedule together for the Q1… listing out all the things we could dig into based on those 3 playbooks… and I started to get more and more excited!
So strap in folks… 2022 is going to be an AWESOME year and we're going to get a LOT done!!!
I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Leave a comment and let me know what stood out to you (big or small) from this episode. Then include something (big or small) you're going to do to RESET! Oh… and if you think giving yourself some intentional time and space to RESET is important… let me know you agree!
Lastly, don't forget to invite a friend to RESET with you! Share the episode with them and come up with your ways to RESET and make 2022 a great year… no matter what!
