If everything you want is on the other side of fear, how do you get to the other side? On this episode, I'm talking to Marianne Chance, an accomplished trainer, author, and coach who is passionate about helping others conquer their fears and bet on themselves.

Marianne has experienced the highs and lows of fear firsthand, so she is the perfect person to explore the topic of fear with. Described as brilliant, hilarious, awesomesauce, and so engaging you’ll forget to eat your snacks, Marianne has trained over 20,000 people in nearly every state and worldwide. She is recognized as one of the top trainers in America. In 2013 she started Work Warrior, a training organization that provides manager and team training to companies across all states.

We take the topic of fear head one, talking about what fear is, where it comes from, how it manifests in our bodies and affects our lives and businesses, and strategies to get on the other side of fear, where everything we want is waiting.
