Conversations on business, purpose, leadership, and life.

Keys to Life's Success

The story behind American Dreams.

The American Dreams show was the brainchild of Alan Olsen, CPA, MBA. It was originally created to fill a specific need: aspiring entrepreneurs often lacked basic information about raising capital and how to successfully start a business. Alan wanted to respond to the many requests for information and introductions in a way that respected the time and trust of his venture capital clients and friends.

American Dreams became the solution, first as a radio show and now with YouTube videos as well. By making remarkable guests accessible through long-form conversations, the show gives first-time entrepreneurs direct access to information and inspiration that once felt out of reach. Viewers can hear venture capitalists and accomplished business leaders explain, in their own words, how they built their companies, overcame challenges, envisioned future opportunities, and balanced work and life.

American Dreams discusses many topics with some of the world's most successful individuals as they share their secrets to life's success.

My Path: Living the Life You Deserve

A book inspired by years of American Dreams conversations.

After more than a decade of interviewing some of the most interesting and successful business and thought leaders in the world, Alan Olsen published My Path: Living the Life You Deserve, the first book drawn from selected American Dreams conversations.

My Path brings together Alan Olsen's personal life experiences and his reflections on the common values many guests shared as they created their own American Dream. It is available in paperback and Kindle editions.
