Dream Big

This is a unique episode in which a dear friend and I dig deep into the topics of love, intention, everything always coming back to oneself, cycles in life, growth, flow, mindfulness, and more. As for our great guest, his introduction can be described in this one sentence: Sean Biava is someone who is living what he talks about, writes about, and preaches. He writes, codes, but most importantly lives. He is an extremely self-aware individual to say the least. He is in the process of self-actualization, just as most of us are. His insight through his work and life endeavors/adventures are well worth a listen.  Please check out the links below. They are also well worth your time.

Dap Talk Friday is a short, brief episode that will be posted on Friday's in which Anthony D'Apolito III, Creator of Dream BIG & Co, talks about a variety of topics. It is concise and it gets to the grit of the message. "In this episode, we discuss the importance and invaluable opportunity of being lost and unsure in life. Whether you don't have a set in stone purpose YET, whether you're veering from it, or your mind is a completely blank slate, it's okay.  To be lost is to be found again. As the great Oprah Winfrey says,  “We lose ourselves to find ourselves again.” It's the once heavily induced drug addict or alcoholic that finds renewal through recovery. It's the legendary free climber Tommy Caldwell who reaches the pinnacle of his own success in climbing the dawn wall of El Capitan after a divorce left him emotionally stricken. It's you battling your own insecurities, doubts, fears, and worries that finds rejuvenation after this podcast and much personal action. In order to be sure ag

No matter your position, affiliation, or standing in life, this conversation will resonate with you. As Marcus has said in one of his songs, "Age is a number, skin is a color, what matters is soul." That's what we are after and that is what we strive for. To understand ourselves, each other, and soul on a deeper level. The topics we discuss range from a pool of things such as, external pressure, intention, love for one's craft, purpose and Marcus' work thus far, his upcoming album 25%, humility, empathy, ego, spirituality, volition, and future aspirations.  As for Marcus Charles himself, he is from Rockland County where his main objectives are becoming the best artist possible and the best individual possible. Since the age of 12, he has developed a deep rapture and passion for music production. In taking the untraditional route, he continues to evolve in his own way, which allows him to shed light on many things. To date he has released two albums: "On a Hill, In the Trees" and "Kill Mode.". He has anot

Topics discussed: Self-awareness, confidence, discipline, ego, depleting the ego, exposing oneself to blind spots, strengths and weaknesses, purpose, passion, love, veracity, spirituality, inner improvement, humility, and more.  Daniel Williams a.k.a Marquel brought his best to this episode. From the beginning to the end, we dove super, super deep into a variety of topics. The great thing is Marquel has a sort of heightened spirtual sense and experiences in his life that gives him a unique perspective to talk about the topics listed above. It wasn't always that way though. He had to do some digging into his soul in order to find the thing that he truly loves, and he still is (by the way, Marquel is 21 years old). To give you some context, one of his routines is meditating three times per day. So, he truly did the work and continues to live by his word.  All in all, the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) native is on his way to spread his words and pursue his mission through the singing that he does and th

Topics discussed: Leadership, belief in oneself, leveraging the support of others, leveraging discomfort in order to expand one's mental strength, mindfulness, meditation, and morning routines. As for Colin he has a copious amount of experience and lessons learned because of it. With over two decades of experience in sales, a decade of experience in ultra-racing, and a personal scorecard that has many checks on it, Colin is able to really bring value and teaching to those who are seeking it. When it comes to the topic of life, he truly understands it. The amazing thing that tops this all, is he considers himself a lifelong learner and even has a business coach to this day! As you listen don't only take note of Colin's grand ambitions, but also try to take away something that you can apply to your life.  If you want to find more information on Colin, you can check the links below.

Dap Talk Friday is a short, brief episode that will be posted on Friday's in which Anthony D'Apolito III, Creator of Dream BIG & Co, talks about a variety of topics. It is concise and it gets to the grit of the message. "Empathy is a topic that has been in the spotlight a lot lately. So, I want to shine the headlights on it, as well. Not only is empathy a key characteristic to understanding others, but it is also crucial to understanding yourself. You can only do great work and be a better person by knowing yourself better. As a forward looking statement, empathy is truly one thing that will help elevate this world forward and it starts with one person at a time. One listener (like you) at a time."  If you liked this episode, take a screenshot of it on your phone/tablet/computer, repost it on social media, use the hashtag #DapTalkFriday, and tag us @dreambigandco Let's interact and grow together.

It is concise and it gets to the grit of the message.   "Reading is like oxygen for me and it is one of the main pillars of learning in my life.

Now, Sam finds herself as an entrepreneur, life-coach, and helping others everyday. She has a brand of personal empowerment called The Prosperous Pursuit. Her main objective is to fill the void for others that she never had growing up. That is helping others go from unfulfilled and confused to clear-minded and doing what they love.
