Dreams Around The World - The Podcast For ENFPs (Campaigners), ADHDers, and Ambitious Creatives

Dan Johnston | Coach and Author of The ENFP Callingwww.dreamsaroundtheworld.com
You've only got one life, so why not design it around your own personality, dreams, and desires? I'm Dan Johnston and I do my best to help you create your own version of an awesome life…whatever that means for you. Personally, I value freedom and experiences over money and things and even if the seas are a bit rougher, I'd rather be the Captain of my own ship. I, and the occasional guest, cover a range of topics from psychology and MBTI personality types (you know, that whole ENFP, INFP, INFJ, INTJ thing) to freelancing and entrepreneurship. Since I am location independent (a Canadian currently living in Prague), I also talk about travel and being a digital nomad from time to time.

3 Times Our Instincts Lead Us To Sadness

Sometimes what feels good in the moment actually weakens us and makes life harder in the long run. Many of these patterns are wired deep into us through evolution, which makes them tricky to spot.
