Andy Molinsky wasn’t always comfortable with being uncomfortable. He often struggled with moving out of his comfort zone, and he would go out of his way to make excuses to find reasons why he shouldn’t and wouldn’t stray from the path his life was already on. But with time, he learned how to stretch himself beyond his comforts and challenge himself to embrace the paths he wasn’t familiar with. His new book, Reach, is all about helping others do the same, and he discussed those strategies with us. Take a listen to learn how you can step out of your comfort zone and be okay with it!
