Dream Big. Think Boldly. Do Now: With Mitch Matthew’s

In this episode, Alan Briggs sits down with Mitch Matthews — coach, speaker, and host of the Dream Think Do podcast — for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like two coaches getting honest with each other over coffee. Mitch is the CEO of a training organization focused on helping executives, entrepreneurs, and founders define what success actually means to them — and then build a plan to go after it.

What unfolds is a wide-ranging, practical, and genuinely fun dialogue about dreams, the questions that unlock them, the questions that shut people down, and what it looks like to lead well in a moment of historic change.

If you've ever locked up when someone asked you what your big dream is — or if you've watched someone else lock up when you asked them — this episode is going to reframe how you think about that conversation entirely.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Mitch's origin story — from a 12-year-old loitering at a bike shop in Iowa to discovering his life's calling at a Schwinn Selling School at 14

Why Mitch calls his work "success coaching" instead of life or executive coaching — and why that distinction matters

The Dream Think Do framework — why dreaming has to come before thinking, and why most people start strategizing too early

Why the question "what's your big dream?" actually shuts people down — and the better questions to ask instead

The power of the word "might" — and how one small word change opens up possibilities that pressure closes off

What semantic interference is and why it matters for every leader, coach, mentor, and manager in the room
