“In my essence, I am a firestarter. I am a dream multiplier. I do believe that is my calling in life,” says Jeff Meyer, Move Forward Anyway host and Founder of the Dream Accelerator. After following in his father’s footsteps by becoming a Pastor, Jeff realized that his main goal is to help others become their true selves. Now, Jeff accomplishes this goal through writing, podcasting, and coaching with his Dream Accelerator program. In today’s special episode of Move Forward Anyway, the tables are turned as Jeff’s wife, Amy, interviews him on what inspired him to pursue his dream and why he encourages others to do the same.
Jeff has always wanted to help people. After taking a sabbatical from his career as a Pastor to discover his true path, Jeff determined that his life purpose is to motivate people to follow their passions. A natural firestarter, a nickname he’s carried since college, Jeff understands that life is short and we aren’t just meant to labor. Although there are always reasons to long for the weekend or resign to other people’s ideas for you, Jeff believes the Creator designs us to be a co-creator in our lives, and we are destined to make our dreams a reality.
Tune into this week’s episode for a self-reflective conversation with Jeff and Amy about the importance of pursuing your dreams. Learn more about Jeff’s life-changing sabbatical, the four iterations of the Dream Accelerator, and how even though fear will come, we must move forward anyway.
