Dream Catcher - The Podcast!
Hello! I am Mark Rudd Larsen of Minden, Nebraska, host of Dream Catcher - The Podcast!
I have always been a people person in fact I love people!
That is why it pains me so much when I meet many people who have long ago given up on or even forgotten what their dreams are!
It seams that we get so much into the hype and process of "making a living" that we forget about everything else let alone that you can actually make money,
have lots of fun doing it, and make a positive difference in the world without selling out your soul!
This is where my podcast comes in! Every week I feature people who have fought the fight and won! They are living their best life, they have caught their dreams!
Join my guest and I every Monday and Friday at 5:55am Central Time for the latest Dream Catcher podcast episode!
We just celebrated the 250th Episode of my Dream Catcher Podcast!
I am looking for guests for future episodes of the Dream Catcher Podcast that have or are Catching their Dreams!
If that is you contact me so we can talk!
