In this episode, Lance and Dan Willis talk about managing and overcoming fear in order to reach success. They discuss the strength behind balancing adversities that cross your path and fulfillment of shaping yourself with resilience. What may begin as crippling adversity may result in the opportunity to develop into a much stronger person. Dan speaks on the importance of going into opportunities with an open mind and the practice of eliminating preconceived notions that may hinder learning and growth.

Dan tells listeners: “You’re good enough and not enough people hear that. Your business, your brand, you, you’re good enough. Nobody told you that lately? You are. Period. You’ve got permission to go do it, so many people are waiting around for somebody to tell them.”
