Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.   This week I’m thrilled to bring you an episode of What’s Next! Podcast with Scott Simon.    Scott Simon is a happiness entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Scare Your Soul, a movement inspiring individual and global change through small acts of courage.    He has spoken around the world, motivated people at schools and companies, given a TEDx Talk, co-founded a happiness incubator, and studied and worked with international thought leaders in the areas of courage and happiness.    Scott is the author of Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles to Harness Fear and Lead Your Most Courageous Life, a book that guides others to find the courage to face their fears and live in freedom.      THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… people who want to face their fears head-on and take a courageous step, whether personally, professionally, or in another area.      TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… fear is an inevitable part of the human experience. Having fear isn’t what holds us back, it’s avoidance of it that makes us comfortable and complicit. When we face our fears, we open ourselves up to positions of growth and power.      WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… Scott’s tips for how leaders can inspire courage in their teams by sharing their own vulnerabilities first and by celebrating what he calls “micro-steps”, one brave act in a different or new direction.      Running time: 25:50    Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani on social:  Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn    Find Scott online:  Official Website  Twitter    Scott’s Book:  Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles to Harness Fear and Lead Your Most Courageous Life
