#150: Fraser Grut: What's Your Dream, Bro?

What's your dream, bro?

[laughs] I know.

[laughs] This is so beautiful, man.

Look at that.

So dude, something I haven't said.

I almost quit Ten Thousand Dreams a month and a half ago.

I had conversations with friends and family saying I'm quitting.

Like, I had just lost the joy.

I've done this for nearly 10 years, and I was just, to be honest, just over it, bro.

I forgot why I do th- did this mission in the first place, and what I realized is my dream is to ignite the dreams of humanity, and that sounds so dramatic.

[laughs] But I just want to ignite dreams in people, bro.

I feel like that's what I'm called to do.

Um, I just, I wanna plant seeds and I wanna see people become all that they're called to be.

'Cause I believe that every single person has a unique dream in them, bro, that was planted there from when they were born.

Um, and I wanna, I want to ignite those dreams.

And I, I guess my pastor helped me to realize, bro, I don't need a camera to fulfill my dream.

I kinda thought I had to film it for it to count.

For the last 10 years, bro, if I didn't film the dream, it didn't count, but now I realize that in every conversation, no matter where I am, camera or no camera, I can ignite dreams in people, and that's what I'm called to do, bro.

I wanna help the planet dream.

I wanna be like a Steve Irwin of dreams.

[laughs]

I used to wanna be Steven Spielberg, like, my whole life, bro.

Now I'm way more drawn to guys like Steve Irwin.

I just wanna be erupting with, like, passion and enthusiasm, and no matter who I meet, I wanna be their biggest cheerleader and encourage them-

[laughs]

... and build them up.

Um, and I was talking to, um, I was talking with some mates a couple of days ago about names, and, like, your name, whatever your name is, bro, there's a meaning behind it.

And I, and we were talking about how people kinda grow into what their name is, what the meaning of their name is, and, um, I was kinda like, "Wait, my name's Fraser.

That means strawberry fields." And I'm like, "I don't know if strawberry fields has any meaning." And my buddy was like, "Strawberry fields.

You're planting seeds."

[laughs]

And I was like, "Bro." [laughs] I was like, I'm like, "That's what I wanna do.

I wanna plant seeds in people."

Bro.

Yeah.

You-

[laughs]

You realize we met six weeks ago-

Literally

... and I invited you on this show and you said, "Nah, bro, I..."

'Cause I was gonna quit.

Because you were gonna quit.

That's why I said no to coming on this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And, and we caught back up at Cafe de la Plage.

I ran into you, and you're there sat-

[laughs]

... wired headphones in-

[laughs]

... a pen and a paper, and a Bible.

Yes.

[laughs]

And I walk up to you, bro, and you were energetic, like-

[laughs]

... like someone just lit a fire up your ass, so excited, and you literally just, like, go to, go to town on me.

You preach, and you're like, "Dude, I'm telling you, man.

[laughs] I'm telling you, this, this thing-

Bro

... it's ignited."

[laughs]

And dude, you've been, like, on another level since we've been back.

Bro, I...

It's crazy, man.

I was a different human a month and a half ago.

I just wanna do kingdom work, bro.

Like, I, I feel like I'm finally becoming who I was always meant to be.

Like, I spent most of my life trying to be the next Steven Spielberg or the next blah, blah.

I'm like, "No, I wanna be me.

I wanna be Fraser Group," and I feel like this is who God's called me to be.

I just wanna help the planet dream, bro, and I wanna capture everyone's dream.

I wanna film a dream on the moon.

I wanna film The Simpsons dreams as, like, an animated character, bro.

I wanna film the Pope's dream, the king's dream.

I wanna go to Africa and film dreams.

I wanna capture dreams in every single country on the planet.

Bro, now I'm getting all s- [laughs] Now I'm like, bring that Steve Irwin energy, bro.

[laughs]

Mate, crikey.
