The Walk

The Walk - Why Dreams Matter


Listen Later

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself standing on the windswept Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.

During the bus ride, I had been listening to an audiobook about the life of Saint Patrick, and I was surprised to learn how dreams had played a significant role in his decision to return to Ireland. Those dreams changed the course of history.

Like many other saints that lived in Ireland, Patrick changed the world with nothing but faith and determination. I kept asking myself: How did he do it? No armies, no wealth—just stories and dreams.

That question stayed with me, and now it’s shaping how I approach my own work and goals.

Most people set goals, but many miss the deeper step: dreaming big. What if achieving your ambitions started with rediscovering your dreams?

Maybe this is why Saint Patrick made the most important decisions in his life after reflecting on the dreams he had at night.

In this episode of my podcast 'The Walk', I share how storytelling and dreaming transform how we connect with others—and ourselves.

☑ Why I traveled to Ireland for answers:
↳ The secret behind how ancient saints inspired entire nations.
↳ What their stories teach us about courage and purpose.
↳ Why their methods remain shockingly relevant today.

☑ The power of storytelling in your goals:
↳ How stories make your message unforgettable.
↳ Why data alone won’t inspire action.
↳ How I’m using storytelling to bring faith alive in a modern world.

☑ Why writing dreams down changes everything:
↳ A simple exercise to uncover what truly drives you.
↳ How visualizing your goals keeps you on track daily.
↳ Why combining prayer and planning creates unstoppable momentum.

This isn’t just about storytelling or faith—it’s about finding the "why" behind what you do. If you’ve felt stuck or uninspired lately, this episode is for you.

What’s one dream you’re ready to write down and pursue?
