Dream Catcher - The Podcast!
My name is Mark Rudd Larsen and together with my wife Cheryl we invite you to join us on 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 seems that we get so much into the process of "making a living" that we forget about everything else and that it is indeed possible to enjoy your life, catch your dreams and make a positive difference in the world while doing so!
This is where the Dream Catcher podcast comes in!
Every episode I feature people who are fighting the fight and winning! They are living their best life, and are catching their dreams!
You too can get started on your own Dream Catching Journey!
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
We just celebrated the 320th 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!
