EP 47: The Best of Show Your Business Who's Boss – Jesse Sommer

 


I invited Jesse onto the show right after he came back from a
seven month stint in Afghanistan which happened to coincide with
COVID happening so he came back to the States to a very different
world and that was pretty fascinating.


 


I had him on because I wanted to see how he was doing and I knew
he'd always have some good stories and it ended up being really
applicable to a lot of the things that I find entrepreneurs are
dealing with.


 


He starts by sharing about the first five times that he jumped
out of a plane in Army Ranger school and how terrifying each of
those five jumps were. I mean, literally risking his life but
also almost dying in every single one and managing to keep going
back. I don't know how he did that.


 


And that was 55 jumps ago.


 


It’s so powerful to hear this story, because even though it's a
really different kind of fear than maybe what you and I
experience every day, it reminds me of all the times I’ve done
things that really scare me—and how I can’t even really remember
how I felt scared of them now since I’ve done them so many times.


 


We’ve been revisiting past episodes that really stood out and
today is the last episode in that series
