Ep 272 - Work The Most Important Muscle: Courage with David Wood

Are you interested in finding more courage?  Have you been letting fear hold you back?  In this episode, we are finding ways to be our most courageous selves. I talk with David Wood. David is a former consulting actuary for Fortune 100 companies. He built the world's largest coaching business, becoming #1 on Google for life coaching and coaching thousands of hours in 12 countries around the globe. David talks about how he went from an actuary to life coaching, and what drives his passion to help people become their best selves. We discuss the importance of leaning into fear, and the distraction of shiny object syndrome. David even does a small coaching example for us today.   Questions I asked: Can you tell everyone how you got started in the business world and then coaching? How can we lean into our fears, and why should we? How can we get ourselves to recognize our fear and put ourselves out there? Why do you need to learn from your mistakes? Why is it important to flex that courage muscle? How we can dial down on our fears? What are some tips to help you find a good hire? How do we avoid shiny object syndrome? How do you deal with shiny objects that are attractive at the time? What are five steps to doubling our revenue? Where can we get those free gifts you mentioned?
