Dreams Around The World - The Podcast For ENFPs (Campaigners), ADHDers, and Ambitious Creatives
Dan Johnston | Coach and Author of The ENFP Calling
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.

Dating an ENFP: How To Be Their Best Partner (AskDan)
So you have a big crush on an ENFP...What now?! As an ENFP myself, I'm sharing some very important tips for dating an ENFP, what we are looking for in a relationship, and how to be our BEST partner! There are a few (possibly) surprising things to know before dating an ENFP. It's not just a matter of "are you a personality type compatible with ENFP". There are many other factors to take into account if you'd like to date and have a successful relationship with an ENFP. Here's the full question I've received from one of my subscribers about how to date an ENFP: "Hello, Dan! I'm an INFJ with a big crush on an ENFP. I was looking for an ENFP who can give me some insight about being an ENFP, what makes them tick, and what they might like in a potential partner. 'Cause I saw that INFJ and ENFP have high compatibility, and me and this girl, we click on many levels, but I feel that she might get cold feet if things get too serious. Anyway, thanks in advance for your help."

ENFP Career Choice, The Starving Artist Myth, and Advice for Starting a Blog - AskDan (Part 4)
In this Part 4 of my AskDan session which I recorded here in Spain, I'm sharing some more responses to the questions I've received from some of my subscribers. What is the best strategy for a young ENFP to pick the right college major or career? Given the ENFP personality traits, what should ENFPs take into consideration when deciding on their career path? I'm sharing a bit of my own ENFP career story and one very important tip to set you on the right track. What should you do if you'd like to change your ENFP career into one that is more meaningful to you, but you're scared since you have a family and financial obligations to take care of? I'm debunking the starving artist myth and sharing my best advice on how to think about the risk that comes with pursuing your ENFP passion. If you're aspiring to be a writer or a copywriter, this advice may be especially useful to you. If you're thinking of becoming location independent, travelling full time, and starting your own business that would allow you to have such a lifestyle, there are some very important things you have to consider. I'm sharing some tips on discipline, accountability, and how to start a blog even if you're a full-time employee right now.

Feeling Like a Failure and ENFP Building Job Skills Advice - AskDan (Part 3)
This is Part 3 of a little AskDan session of mine where I respond to questions from my subscribers sent to me via my website. In this episode I'm answering: What should you do if you feel like a failure at everything? If you find it difficult to start taking action and reach your goals, it may have a huge bad impact on your confidence. You may end up in a vicious cycle of beating yourself up, not feeling confident enough to try to work on your goals, which will, in turn, make you even less confident. Are you comparing yourself to others' perfect lives on Instagram and feeling that everyone's doing much better than you? Listen up for some advice on how to break out of this poor state, how to stop feeling like a failure, and rebuild your confidence step by step! To be top performers, should ENFPs work at jobs they are less suited for to build more knowledge, job skills, and credibility to better perform later at something they'd rather do - or should they jump right into it and start doing their own thing immediately? Building skills and learning are very important and I'd like to share some of my personal stories around my own ENFP career and jobs, as well as some advice on how an ENFP can go about gaining knowledge and skills in the most effective way.
