Facing your fears can be one the hardest thing to do.

It’s that fear that holds us back from taking massive action to go after our dreams.

For many, it’s easier to sit on the couch and do what the world tells you to do.

However, this podcast is for those seeking to make a dent, and this specific episode of the The School of Greatness is for those who don’t know where to begin.

To conquer fear, the most important thing is to Punch Fear in the Face and START!

Putting things in motion is one of the keys to figuring out your purpose and becoming awesome.  So it’s with great pleasure that I introduce today’s guest, and New York Times best selling author, Jon Acuff.
