Jordan Gross is a Northwestern and Kellogg School of Management graduate, a two-time startup founder, a TEDx speaker, and a #1 best-selling author. His upcoming book, "The Journey to Cloud Nine," provides a new approach to the personal development world by using fictional storytelling to reveal some of life's most meaningful principles.

In this episode, Jordan describes his own journey to Cloud Nine – how he lived life "by the book" and worked at a lucrative but uninspiring job, then quit to focus his energy on content creation, coaching and public speaking. Now he is a certified coach who helps people find direction in their lives and careers through his company Cloud Nine Living.

He also demonstrates some tips on how to overcome fear, based on the 5-step process from his first book, "Getting COMFY" (Calm, Openness, Movement, Funny, You).
