In this heartfelt episode, I have a candid conversation with Chet Gladkowski—an author, hope dealer, and storyteller extraordinaire. Chet brings us along on a deeply personal journey, sharing stories that will resonate with anyone who has ever faced heartbreak, failure, or moments of doubt.
Chet opens up about a pivotal moment during a ball game, where one simple comment from his father shifted the way he saw hope—and almost caused him to give up on hope entirely. It’s a powerful reminder of how words can shape us, for better or worse.
Throughout our conversation, Chet candidly shares stories of hope, wisdom and leadership woven into his experiences with hopelessness, failure and heartbreak. But what’s even more inspiring is how he found hope on the other side. Chet reveals how his faith has been the anchor in his journey, leading him through the toughest times.
One of the key takeaways from this episode is the gift of listening. Chet talks about how truly listening to others has transformed his relationships and given him the opportunity to love on a deeper level while building their trust.
This episode is a raw and real look into the ups and downs of life, and how faith and hope can bring light even in the darkest moments.

I'm a daydream believer...wanna know why? Because daydreams aren't just daydreams, they are snapshots of what God has planned for us. You may think that longing in your soul was from you, but God created you for a divine purpose and wired you different than the other 7 billion people on the planet.
He created you for specific things that only you can do the way you do it. Think of a singer - many people can sing, but not just anyone can belt out 🎼 like Pavarotti or Luke Bryan. See how broad the range is?
