The Fearless Chase

Throughout my journey of chasing my dreams I've often tried to find the secret to becoming a great public speaker. I've always loved the stage. Whether it was dancing, singing, speaking, anything that could get me up there-I wanted in.

Since sharing publicly some of my biggest dreams of speaking and hosting my own events one day, I've received several messages and texts from others who also wanted to know the secret.

In this episode of The Fearless Chase, I'm interviewing Jessica Journaey, a communication expert and professor who teaches public speaking and communication theory at various colleges. She has a passion for helping others communicate competently and clearly in order to make the most impact in their lives, businesses, and relationships.

In preparing for my first speech at a large conference, Jessica coached me through it from beginning to end. We dig into what that process looked like and how we worked together as a team to help get me to where I needed to be.

After hearing her share with me the secret to becoming a great public speaker, I begged her to come on the show to teach you the same wisdom and knowledge she shared with me.

In this episode of The Fearless Chase Podcast I'm sharing an honest conversation with my friend Megan Stratton about the biggest no she's ever received and how instead of letting that be her final stop in chasing her dreams, she let it be the fuel to the fire to get her to where she knew she could be. We dig into how she got past hearing that the job she wanted would interview twenty other people before ever considering her, what she did to prove them wrong, and her secret to staying on top of her game despite still hearing no. She shares her insight on if hearing no changes at different levels of your career and what advice she would give the dreamers out there who are letting the fear of hearing no hold her back.
