#146 - Super Bold Living || Why Confidence Follows Action, Not the Other Way Around

In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, Ryan sits down with legendary entrepreneur and author Fred Joyal, co founder of 1-800-DENTIST, to dismantle one of the most common myths about success…that confidence comes first. Fred shares how boldness, not confidence, became the skill that shaped his career, his relationships, and ultimately his philosophy on living without regret. From launching a business he was wildly unprepared for, to redefining failure as a training ground rather than a verdict, this episode reframes boldness as something learnable, trainable, and available to anyone. This is not about being fearless. It is about acting before certainty…and discovering who you become on the other side.
