I’ve already had a chance to talk with Rachel Hollis on the show, but today I get to talk with the other half, Dave Hollis. It is so fun getting both perspectives when talking to someone about their business and life. His new book, Get Out Of Your Own Way, is all about finding a path to growth and fulfillment when you may be skeptical about the practicality of it. We dive deep into how growth leads to discomfort, getting familiar with failure, and growing along with your partner.

Question Highlights:

• Do you still get uncomfortable?
• What do you say to people who have serious concerns and fears around failure?
• What would you say to someone who doesn’t know if their partner is right for their personal development journey?
• What are the things that you want to say to people about what it actually takes?
• How do you make spaces to have private conversations?
• What do you do to accept anything that comes up?
• What are the things that came up when you wrote your book?
