In this episode of Rhee Gold's Dance Life Podcast, Stacey Morgan and Rhee Gold take a step back from the day-to-day chaos of studio life to talk about something many studio owners neglect: big, meaningful goal setting.

Inspired by a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with Mel Robbins , Stacey shares the power of identifying your “wild card” goal — the one you’ve been putting off, downplaying, or convincing yourself is for someone else.

Together, they explore what it really means to be brave and courageous in business — not just in starting a studio, but in evolving it, challenging the norm, and dreaming beyond your current reality.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Why studio owners often stop setting new goals once they’re “busy”
• The difference between running your business and intentionally growing it
• How to identify the big goal you’ve been avoiding (and why it matters)
• The importance of scheduling time to think, dream, and plan
• Why courage and creativity are essential in choreography, teaching, and leadership
• How the pandemic shifted mindsets and opened up new possibilities
• Balancing systems and structure with innovation and evolution
• Why “what’s next?” should always be part of your mindset
• The power of saying your goals out loud and making them real

Rhee reveals his journey of writing a long-awaited book for dance parents.

This episode is a reminder that while running a studio can feel repetitive and overwhelming, there is always space to dream bigger, think differently, and evolve.

Because the truth is:
You’re already living the dream you once had — now it’s time to decide what comes next.
