Kris Cody is the CEO and founder of a freakishly cool clothing company… Paka Apparel!
While in college… Kris took a trip to Peru and while he was there… he came across a sweater made with wool from alpaca fiber. He loved the thing… and when he came back to the states… he realized all of his friends wanted one too. As Kris started to dream about the possibilities… he was also struck with the thought of sourcing everything right from Peru… from the families that he’d interacted with on his trip. He also loved the thought of hiring local women to craft sweaters and clothing he could send around the world.
With that dream in mind… Kris started a company called Paka Apparel in 2017. He fueled the launch of Paka with a Kickstarter campaign that initially had a goal of $20,000 and they hit that in under 24 hours. Kris and the campaign went on to raise more than $350,000 in 30 days.
From that exciting start… Paka has now created a line of washable alpaca apparel and ethical performance outerwear, along with Paka's tried and true sweaters, hoodies and socks.
And get this. Paka Apparel… under Kris’s leadership… has been celebrated for their efforts to localize Paka’s supply chain:
- All of Paka’s alpaca fiber is sourced from free-roaming herds in Peru.
- 90% of products are manufactured in Peru.
- And… over 100 Quechua (keCHwa) women weavers are employed and Paka pays them a wage that’s 4x the living wage in Peru!
And the clothing looks awesome too!
I’m loving this story! And Kris is obviously living the DREAM THINK DO life… so let’s get to this!

Okay… NOW…I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:
How about it!?
What did you think of Kris’s approach to life and how curiosity led him to start PAKA?
I just love out “curiosity” led him to take that initial trip to Peru. And how finding that one sweater led him to starting a MOVEMENT.
By the way… that’s exactly what I think PAKA is. Sure… it’s a freakishly cool clothing brand. But… I think Kris and his team are starting a MOVEMENT… one small step at a time.
How about YOU? How might you apply the concepts he was talking about to start a MOVEMENT of your own?
You sure don’t need to launch a clothing brand… but how could you “follow YOUR curiosity” to find more of the things YOU were put on the planet to do?
By the way… Kris is young and he started young. And that’s awesome!!!
But I think that his approach can be applied to ANY stage of life… especially if you give yourself permission to take small but intentional steps forward!
Want proof? Check out THIS EPISODE where I interview Shawn Askinosie about how he left a successful career as a criminal defense lawyer to start a bean-to-bar chocolate factory. He was in his mid-50’s when he started that journey… and he… as Kris would say, “kept following his curiosity” and he’s never looked back.
By the way… Askinosie Chocolate is a small batch, award-winning chocolate factory located in Springfield, Missouri. They source 100% of their cocoa beans directly from farmers across the globe. Askinosie Chocolate was recently named one of the 25 Best Small Companies in America by Forbes and Shawn himself was named by “O,” Oprah’s magazine, as one of the 15 guys who is literally saving the world. Very cool.
Okay… now you know the question is coming! Are you ready?
Here it is: What’s something (BIG or small) YOU want to do as a result of hearing THIS episode?
Lastly… PLEASE share this powerful conversation with a friend or family member who might be needing it… right now!
They’ll thank you!
And hey… remember… I believe in you!

Eric Moeller is with us! Eric is the one of the founders and the CEO of Freewyld… which is an incredibly innovative vacation rental brand specializing in providing immersive experiences for
modern travelers.
The idea for Freewyld was born after Eric embarked on a six-month road trip during the pandemic. He realized that some of his favorite memories came from staying in rustic cabins overlooking the mountains, or cooking intentional meals with friends or inviting people to come hike and explore with them over a weekend.
This inspired Eric to try to create spaces where people could create more moments that matter.
So… he’s in the midst of that right now… starting with his first FREEWYLD community based in Idyllwild, California.
And… he’s working on creating more around the world.
Eric’s living the DREAM THINK DO life… so I wanted to have him on to talk about it! Let’s go!

Jamie Winship is back to DREAM THINK DO!
You probably remember him from episode 354… but if not… here’s a little background on Jamie.
Jamie Winship was an award-winning police officer in Washington DC who went on to spend nearly 30 years living and working in some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world.
Jamie developed a unique process called the “Identity Method.” This process of identity transformation is the key to resolving inner conflict and acquiring new levels of learning… connection and creativity.
His unconventional efforts to bring about societal and racial reconciliation has led him to Indonesia, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine, Israel and now… back to the U.S.
Jamie and his amazing wife, Donna, are co-founders of Identity Exchange, a training and consulting agency that helps individuals and teams discover new levels of creativity and resiliency within the framework of true identity.
He’s worked with professional sports teams, business leaders, government officials, non-profit organizations, and many others.
Since our last conversation… Jamie and Donna have ALSO partnered with Vossler Studios to create a new non-profit… called “The Encounter.”
It’s specifically designed to bring identity content & curriculum to schools and communities around the world.
And even though it’s brand new… they’re already fielding invitations to create films, apps, TV shows, and other media that will help repair the world. It’s so cool!
We obviously have a LOT to talk about… so let’s get to this!
JOIN JAMIE AND MITCH on March 8th & 9th!
Jamie and Mitch will both be speaking at the upcoming Marketplace Collab Conference in Kingsport, Tennessee on March 8th and 9th.

Michael O’Brien was successful corporate executive who had a serious wake up call. He was away on a corporate retreat… getting a quick bike ride in before a day of meetings… when he was struck head-on by a speeding SUV who crossed the centerline going 40 mph.
As you can imagine… it changed his life forever. More specifically… Michael is quick to say THAT was his "Last Bad Day."
We’ll talk about WHY that is… and more importantly… HOW that can be true!
Today… Michael is an endurance athlete… a meditation teacher… and the creator of the “Pause Breathe Reflect” Meditation and Gratitude app. And he’s on a mission to ‘ripple something worth rippling’ and help individuals and businesses stress less… perform better… and live more.
He’s truly living the DREAM THINK DO life… so I’m excited for this conversation. Let’s do this.

Welcome to a bonus episode of Dream Think Do!
This is a companion episde to 391 - "It’s TIME to RESET - Reset Week 2024"
Listen to the full episode now: https://mitchmatthews.com/391
Okay… I think we can all agree that it’s a solid idea to establish a specific time each year to set some new goals and start some new habits. There’s no doubt! That’s a good and healthy thing. Right?
But who’s the jackhole who suggested we try doing that during the holidays??? Seriously?
That timing is nuts! Heck… I think it’s the biggest reason why most end-of-the-year goal sessions and most New Year’s resolutions fail so quickly!!!
And that’s exactly why we’re declaring the 3rd week of January… our 3rd annual RESET WEEK!
It’s the time when we can set some goals for 2024 and start some new habits! And in THIS very special episode… I give you a simple but powerful strategy called the “G.E.T. Method™!
It’s something I use with my Success Coaching clients to help to set them for more success and more of the experiences they want to have! I think you’ll love it! So let’s dive in!

Jenn Drummond is our guest! As you’ll hear… Jenn is a freeeegin’ juggernaut.
We’ll start with mountain climbing. Okay… she’s a World Record Holder as the first woman to climb the second highest summits on each of the 7 continents. Experts will tell you… completing the Seven Second Summits is considered a more difficult challenge than the Seven Summits.
Very few male climbers have completed the Seven Second Summits… AND… until 2023… no woman had. But Jenn made it happen by completing the seventh summit in June of last year! So this is an INCREDIBLE accomplishment.
Now… let’s talk about business. Jenn is ALSO the CEO and Founder of a successful financial planning business: Clearwater Wealth Management.
FINALLY… and if you ask Jenn… MOST IMPORTANTLY… she’s the proud mom of SEVEN amazing kiddos! And they live in an adventurous life together… based in Park City, Utah.
Jenn’s new book, “BREAK PROOF - 7 Strategies to Build Resilience and Achieve your Life Goals” is incredible! So I can’t wait to talk about that too!
She’s obviously living the DREAM THINK DO LIFE… so this is an incredible conversation!

Adam Carroll is an internationally recognized financial literacy expert.
Let’s do a little math for this intro! Adam and I have been friends… better said… brothers… for 17 years… so I can say without a shadow of a doubt… this is a guy who walks his talk!
Adam has spent 15 years helping people do more with the money they make. He’s the author of three best-selling books! He’s also been on DREAM THINK DO three times!!!
He’s a two-time TED talk speaker. By the way… those TED talks have over 6 million views!
He’s the creator of one award winning documentary called, “Broke, Busted & Disgusted” which aired on CNBC and has now been shown in hundreds of high schools and colleges across the country.
He’s the founder and creator of one insanely cool online platform called “The Shred Method” which uses proven mathematical algorithms to create a custom wealth acceleration plan for every individual regardless of current financial circumstances. And it’s been allowing people to annihilate their debt and truly grow wealth!
And… finally… let’s get to his most important numbers…
Adam is married to his amazing bride Jen… and they have three amazing kiddos who are going to change the world!
Okay… those are the numbers you need to know about Adam Carroll… but since money is such an important subject… when it comes to dreaming bigger, thinking better and doing more of what you’re put on the planet to do… we’re going to talk about doing more with the money you have AND ways to create and generate more money too! I can’t wait to get after THIS conversation! Let’s do this!

Aree Bly is joining us! Aree was a successful actuary for a number of years. She was VERY good at it… because she has a highly analytical mind.
But then found she had a true passion for personal and professional development… and she realized she was also REALLY good at helping other “analyticals” to get clear on what they wanted in their life and in their careers… and then build a plan to achieve it.
So… in 2018… she became certified as an Elite Success Coach! And that’s when she started to coach… but she also became an in-demand keynote speaker and workshop facilitator!
And now… her brand new book… “The Sustainable Brain - An Analytical Mind’s Guide to Creating a Sustainable Life” just hit the shelves and people are LOVING it!
Aree is amazing at helping analytical professionals unlock their potential, clarify their vision and create sustainable and fulfilling careers and lives! So you KNOW this is an powerful episode!

We’re talking with Rebekah Scott. Get this. She sews purses and accessories from her home in rural South Dakota! She got her start as a poor newlywed and she needed Christmas gifts for her friends and family so she decided to make some purses out of her living room curtains.
Then she started getting phonecalls with people wanting her designs! 15 years later… she has four kids and the business has grown to a team of over 20 women who all work from home so they can spend time with their families! They make hand sewn bags that are designed by YOU so you can express your own unique personality and style!
And her company… Rebekah Scott Designs is on it’s way to becoming the biggest hand-made business in the country. How freeeegin’ cool is that!!!???
Plus… with all that Rebekah had going on… she had a wake up call a few years ago that made her realize she needed systems in her life so she could take care of her family AND take care of her business. As she started to create and use these systems… people started to take notice and ask her about them. That led to Rebekah launching The Encourager Podcast and Encourager Academy training so she could bring tools to women who want to go from overworked, overwhelmed and unsuccessful to confident, clear and decisive.
As you can already tell… this is an awesome conversation! So let’s get to it!

Scarlett Cochran is our guest! She’s an attorney, financial expert, and an entrepreneur with an amazing story! In fact, it’s an incredible example of a true DREAM THING DO story!
As a teenager… Scarlett was a Marine who also became a single mom living below the poverty line. As you can imagine… it was a tough season… but she got bold and audacious. Specifically… she gave herself permission to DREAM and get clear on the kind of life that she REALLY wanted to create for her daughter and her.
Then she went to work. Scarlett found a way to start her college degree by going to night school. She also found a way to buy a home at 20. And she kept dreaming… thinking and doing… and that led her to eventually leave the Marines and go to school full time. In fact, she was the first in her family to attend college! But she didn’t stop there.
Next… she set her sights on law school. Not only that but she decided to try to get in one of the top 14 law schools in the country. And guess what? She got into YALE (one of the prestigious law schools in the world!) and graduated with multiple job offers waiting.
She graduated… worked hard… figured out that she wanted to have some quality of life… so she worked as a banking and consumer finance attorney for:
- the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
- the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
- the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (where she worked on fair lending and equity issues).
In the past few years though… her story started to get out and people wanted to learn how she created a completely new life.
Since then… she’s touched the lives of millions by being featured by Good Morning America… Forbes… CNBC and Oprah, as well as her own YouTube channel.
Her brand new book called “IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY - A PROVEN PATH TO BUILDING WEALTH AND LIVE THE RICH LIFE YOU DESERVE” was recently released and people are loving it!
So… we’ve got a LOT to talk about… so let’s get to this!

Scott Siepker is back! That’s right. We’re talking with the Actor, Writer and Executive Producer!
Scott’s well-known for his great creative work as well as his viral “Iowa Nice” videos!
Plus, this might be episode 375… but Scott joined us way back for episode 82 of DTD!
He’s been working on some exciting projects since our last conversation! One of the biggest updates is that Scott and his team have put together an INCREDIBLE documentary called “KINNICK.”
It’s the story of Nile Kinnick - who was a child of the depression who went on to win the Heisman Trophy and became a pilot in World War 2. Not only that… he became one of the best known people in the country. In fact, Ronald Regan once reflected that if Nile Kinnick hadn’t died in WWII… “he could have gone on to become the President of the United States.”
Plus, if you’ve ever walked through the main gate of the University of Iowa’s fabled football stadium… you’ve passed by a beautiful bronze statue of young Nile. But hey… whether you’re a sports fan or not… I can tell you… THIS is a powerful story!
We’re going to talk with Scott about Nile’s journey… as well as Scott’s own journey as he worked on the dream of creating this documentary for 10 years! And… as you’ll hear… he’s just getting started!
