Dream Chasers

Do you feel destined for something greater, yet trapped by disappointment, loss, or impossible obstacles? Dream Chasersuncovers the hidden journey that transforms ordinary people into extraordinary leaders who change the world. Most leadership books celebrate success. Few reveal the painful process required to fulfill a calling. Research shows that 80% of leaders never reach their ultimate purpose—not because they lack vision, but because they don’t know how to navigate the setbacks, suffering, and contradictions standing between dreams and destiny. Driven by her own season of hardship, author Uta Schmidt interviewed nine globally influential leaders to discover what sustains people through impossible circumstances. Through powerful insights from Nelson Mandela, Wm Paul Young, Les Brown, Loren Cunningham, Heidi Baker, Bill Johnson, Andrew White, and others, Dream Chasers reveals the resilience forged in prison cells, cancer diagnoses, financial ruin, death threats, and devastating loss. These are not polished success stories. They're raw accounts of prison cells, cancer diagnoses, financial ruin, death threats, and devastating loss. Yet each leader emerged not just surviving, but transformed—their character refined, their faith deepened, their impact multiplied. Schmidt combines deeply personal interviews with leadership research to reveal a roadmap for enduring life’s darkest seasons with courage, authenticity, and purpose. Dream Chasers bridges the missing gap in leadership literature by focusing not only on outcomes, but on the process of becoming. You’ll discover that world-changers are not spared hardship—they learn to move through it with resilience and faith. If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready to understand how your struggles may be preparing you for extraordinary impact, Dream Chasers will inspire you to keep pursuing the life you were created for.
