On this episode I am joined by Scott Simon. Scott is a happiness entrepreneur, SYS founder, and author of Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles for Harnessing Fear and Living Your Most Courageous Life which was released in December, 2022.
Scott is a sought-after speaker, meditation leader, and high-performance life coach, focusing primarily on creating flourishing lives after major changes such as divorce. Scott earned his BA from Skidmore College, an MA from Case Western Reserve University, and Certificates in Positive Psychology and Coaching from The Wholebeing Institute.
On this episode we discuss how Scott was a very shy and bullied child who really internalized his pain which led to in his youth trying to live an invisible life. He was stepping out of his comfort zone, after college going to teach English to Holocaust survivors, when he had a panic attack on the plane. To calm himself, he took out a spiral notebook and wrote a challenge to himself to do one thing a day that scared him. He acted on that challenge and a year later headed back to the United States a changed person. That year of daily challenges was something he aimed to continue to do and he did starting with publicly singing in front of a popular brunch spot. That challenge led to a viral moment on Facebook.
We talk about how his daily challenges started inspiring others and became the Scare Your Soul movement. His movement is about inspiring others to take the small steps towards facing their fears and creating a community of others who support each other along the way.
His book Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles for Harnessing Fear and Living Your Most Courageous Life has the tips to start your own journey, as well as a workbook to help you really implement these principles as well as stories from other people who have implemented these challenges into their own lives.
