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.

ENFPs and INFPs, This Will Always Hold You Back
If you're an ENFP or INFP and something doesn't go your way, well...things might just go downhill from there. Don't worry, I got you! Us ENFPs and INFPs love being comfortable and we're excited when things go well, but...when they don't, we might fall into a destructive mindset. We're idealists and we should be able to find solutions to our problems in creative ways, right? Unfortunately, this negative thinking can make us stuck and prevent us from moving forward. These destructive patterns can lead us ENFPs and INFPs to change direction too often, not follow through on our goals, and ultimately not accomplish anything significant in our lives for years! In this episode I'm explaining why this happens and, more importantly, how to solve it.

Can You Be "Less of" an INFP? - AskDan
Are you FAILING your MBTI Type?! An INFP sent in a question about this topic and I'd like to share my own story that relates to personality psychology (mis)understandings. There are a lot of extremes when it comes to understanding 16 personalities. If you're an idealist personality type, especially an INFP or ENFP, your environment might be affecting you more than other types, so you may end up not recognizing yourself in most of your personality type descriptions. So are you a true authentic INFP or ENFP or not?! Full question: "Hey Dan, apparently INFPs are optimistic about dreams and love and believe in happy endings, but none of these are true for me. For some reason, as a 16-year-old, I'm too afraid to allow myself to dream about being happy in the future, and I don't really believe in love (for myself) even though I've never been heartbroken before. Does that make me a bit 'less' INFP?"

Thoughts on ENFP Productivity, Extremism, and Health
I've been in Belgrade, Serbia for a few weeks. In the process I've been testing out some different approaches around goals, productivity, and fitness as an ENFP. It's not always easy to have enough self-control and stick to our diet and health plans when traveling, especially for us ENFPs and INFPs. We like to try new things, experience the new place, people...and food, of course! I want to share some updates on my own diet, big picture thinking, fitness, and productivity.

The Truth About INTJs
Us ENFPs have a good connection with INTJs, which may be surprising to a lot of people. When it comes to the 16 personalities and the level of knowledge one has in personality psychology, while reading and watching videos may be really helpful, I've found that the best place to look is personal connections. I've spent a good amount of quality time with Rowan, my Little INTJ Brother from The Big Brothers Program. His life experience reveals some of the awesome INTJ superpowers. If you've missed my interview with Rowan, it's just recently released, search for "Living On a Boat: A Surprising INTJ Interview".
