Today’s guest helps executives break through the fears that hold them back from being the best leaders, strategists, business developers, and team members they can be. He knows a thing or two about how to overcome fear based on his first two careers: For twenty-two years, he served as an FBI Special Agent and Hostage Negotiator and prior to that he was an ordained minister for six years.
