Closing The 18 Inch Gap Podcast
This is the question that echoes in the quiet moments when your heart aches for something more.... How? It’s the whisper that asks why your dreams have stayed locked away, waiting, while life moved on. How did you get here—staring at the gap between who you are and who you know you could be? How wide is that gap? 18-inches wide. It’s those 18 inches that you need to travel to break free from the lies, the fears, and the beliefs that have kept your dreams buried. How do you take what feels impossible... and make it real? I’m Edwin Soler, your Dream Realization Partner....

Have you ever wondered what a dead dream looks like? What causes it? This isn't just a conversation… it’s an examination. Somewhere, deep within you—or someone you love—there was a dream. A dream once alive, vibrant, breathing with purpose. But today… it’s gone. Was it killed by fear? Starved by delay? Drowned in someone else’s opinion? Or did it simply go unloved and unnoticed for too long? I’m your Dream Realization Partner, and in this episode, we perform the autopsy. Together we’ll examine the wounds and ask the hard questions. Not to linger in loss—but to...

There’s a question that comes before all the others. A question that opens the door… or locks it shut. It’s not “Why me?” It’s not “How do I do it?” It’s not even “When will it happen?” It’s “What?” What is stopping you? What dream are you denying? What lie have you accepted as truth? What would happen if you finally said yes to the life that’s been waiting on you? In this episode, we go deeper than surface questions. We go into the raw, uncharted terrain of your locked away dreams— The “What” that most people are too afraid to ask, and too exhausted...

Last week I was so into the episode that I lost track of time. So today I’m bringing you the last 14 points. I mistakenly thought I had brought 12 points but actually only brought 11. The word I am exploring is such a simple but powerful one: Why? Like I said last week. It’s such a simple word. One syllable. Three letters. But inside that word now that we’re all grown up… lives a storm. Today, I’m not here to give you steps, or tips, or strategies. I’m here to ask you questions. Because that’s what good coaches do. They ask real questions. The kind that...

Do you remember being a kid and always asking the same question? Remember how we drive our parents and teachers crazy? It’s such a simple word. One syllable. Three letters. But inside that word now that we’re all grown up… lives a storm. Today, I’m not here to give you steps, or tips, or strategies. I’m here to ask you questions. Because that’s what good coaches do. They ask real questions. The kind that don’t just live in your head—they echo in your soul. I’m your Dream Realization Partner. And if you’ve ever felt like your dream is locked in a box… hidden behind...

Today I’ll be talking about….. well today! Why it matters so much. I won’t be repeating it before or after every point because that would be SO ANNOYING!!! But I will certainly be discussing these few points and many more: Is All You Truly Have Is Where Dreams Begin Is the Seed of Your Future Doesn’t Need Permission and so much more. Do you often get lost in the future? I want to emphasize living in the present, seizing opportunities, and shaping a better future through actions taken today to get closer to your dreams coming true. Quote of the week:...

We all must face ourselves before we face anything else that will hold us back. I have been thinking a lot these past few weeks about the struggles it takes to get through to see the results we are looking for. It takes perseverance and will power to get to the level we seek to reach. While not all of these may necessarily apply to you, I am sure some will. And in each scenario, I will give you something that will help you overcome that which holds you back. It may take some time but be assured that in time, you will succeed. Quote of the week: “It’s not that I’m so...

Everyone loves an underdog story, but living one? That is a whole different challenge. The struggle, the doubt, and those nights when giving up feels like the easiest choice. It’s tough, but that’s exactly why it feels so good when you finally prove them wrong. Being the underdog is not a weakness. It is a secret weapon. No one sees you coming. No one expects you to win. And when you do? That victory hits different! Every champion, record-breaker, and history-maker started at the bottom. If you are pushing through setbacks, proving doubters...

Do you ever feel too small to dream BIG? "In this episode, I want to go over a list of things I call “dream stoppers”. These are things that make you feel small and stop you from making progress on what matters most to you, what keeps you from not just reaching, but even getting started on your journey to make those big dreams happen. If you don’t have something big to dream for than you are simply living and nothing else. If you are ok with that, than that’s fine. That’s completely up to you. However, if you want to do something meaningful then you must remember...

info_outlineWelcome to today’s powerful episode of the podcast—a moment you’ll remember because today, we’re going to crack open the barriers that have kept you from fully chasing your dreams. “DREAM BIG – The Breakthrough Blueprint to Unleashing the Life You’re Meant to Live”
Too often, people believe dreaming big is for someone else—for the lucky, the talented, the privileged. Let me ask you this, are you living someone else’s dream?
If the answer is yes then I’m here to tell you: dreaming big is not a luxury—it’s your birthright. That’s right, I’ll say it again- it’s your birthright. You were born with vision, purpose, and potential. But as life has carried you on, the experiences you have been through, the beliefs you have been taught, and so much more has pushed those dreams aside and put those dreams to rest.
So, what I have done for you is I’ve created a powerful acronym for —DREAM BIG—a blueprint to ignite your courage, expand your belief, and finally start building the life you’ve only dared to imagine. Let’s dive into the meaning of DREAM BIG on the other side.
Quote of the week: "Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you." - Marsha Norman

“Every point we covered today will shape part of your story.
Some will challenge you. Others will champion you.
But all of them—when understood—can and will shape you.
Your dream isn’t just possible. It’s waiting on the version of you who’s ready.
Until next time—keep daring, keep developing, and most of all, keep dreaming.”
