Podquest Episode 4

Mark Cumicek

Talking Dreams with the Dream Dude: A Conversation with Mark Cumicek

‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

Act 2:7 NLT

In this episode of Podquest, I’m talking about pursuing our dreams with the Dream Dude, Mark Cumicek. We explore the transformative power of pursuing one's dreams.

Mark discusses his personal story of outward success yet internal turmoil, leading to a career shift focused on helping individuals and businesses articulate and pursue their dreams.

We delve into the significance of small initial steps, overcoming obstacles, and the role of encouragement and coaching in unlocking our dreams.

The episode also covers the Dream Manager Program's impact on employee engagement and business success. Additionally, we touch on the process of recognizing true dreams versus illusions and the importance of including relationships and personal growth in dreaming.

We even managed to discuss our love of coffee and running—all that and more on this episode of Podquest.
