About this episode

The creators of Yes Theory tell Jay Shetty that for them, facing their biggest fears has much deeper meaning. Conquering mountains, jumping out of helicopters, and learning to push their bodies beyond their max all have pushed them to look deep within and discover more strength than they knew they had.

Not sure how to conquer a fear or obstacle? You'll learn how to gain insight on getting started as well as sticking with the challenge when the going gets tough. Text Jay Shetty 310-997-4177
