#172: Overcome Fear and Boost Success - David Wood

On today's Man Alive podcast episode I was joined by David Wood,
a former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies who became
#1 on Google for “life coaching,” serving 150,000 coaches around
the world. David specializes in helping people overcome their
fears and reach their goals.

To have an amazing career and relationships, a life full of
passion, connection and adventure, it is inevitable that you will
face fear at some point. Everyone does. The question is, what
then? How do you move through fear so you don't miss precious
opportunities? 

David believes that the tough conversations we avoid are our
doorways to confidence, success, and love. They become the
defining moments that shape our lives. He coaches high performing
entrepreneurs, executives and teams – and even prison inmates
–  to create amazing results and deep connection, as well as
to achieve more, by focusing on less.

We discussed:


How to shift your relationship with fear so it doesn't keep
you stuck and unsatisfied

Why fear tends to stop people but doesn't have to stop
you 

When to move through fear and when to stop and nurture
yourself 

How to share about your fear with others to create more
connection rather than less

What's possible when you let go of the fear of how you're
seen or perceived
