What if the thing standing between you and your dream... is your fear of failing?(Watch the full video interview on YouTube here. https://youtu.be/nEINMa-lDJU)Scott Scovill (www.scottscovill.com and https://tenaciousbook.com/ ) was flunking out of college, waiting tables, and terrified to try when a chance encounter with a touring crew from U2 changed everything. Two years later, he was on tour with the Rolling Stones.  (whaaaaat??!) But this isn't a story about fame.It's a story about what happens when you stop letting fear make your decisions...true Dancing in the Discomfort Zone territory.In this powerful conversation, Scott shares how he learned to keep going despite anxiety, rejection, setbacks, and self-doubt, and why tenacity isn't about stubbornly and stupidly banging your head against a wall. It's about refusing to give up on the destination, even when you need a new route. In this episode we talk about: Why fear can be both your greatest enemy and your greatest motivator  The difference between being stubborn and being tenacious  What the Rolling Stones taught Scott about chasing impossible dreams  The fact that successful people fail more often than most people realize  How to know when it's time to pivot instead of quit  The surprising truth Taylor Swift shared about success and fear  Why life is a team sport—and you shouldn't do it alone If you've ever wondered if you should keep going, change direction, or finally take the leap, this episode is for you.Because the dream isn't found in the comfort. It's on the other side of trying. Want more from Scott?Get the book.  https://tenaciousbook.com/ Hit his socials: https://www.instagram.com/scottscovillcreative https://www.facebook.com/scottscovillcreativehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-scovill-943a4022/Scott Scovill is an award-winning entrepreneur and creative powerhouse, founder of Moo TV, and author of Tenacious: The Art of Relentlessly Pursuing Your Wildest Dreams. Anne Bonney is a keynote speaker and emcee who helps organizations lead through change by building resilience, emotional intelligence, and courageous communication.
