Facing Your Demons and Chasing Your Dreams with Jack Cohen

Episode154: Facing Your Demons and Chasing Your Dreams with Jack Cohen

Are your fears holding you back more than you realize? In this powerful episode of No Sitting on the Sideline Dad, I sit down with Jack Cohen — entrepreneur, author, and believer in the power of self-investment — to unpack the hidden fears and family patterns that keep so many of us stuck.

Jack shares stories about facing his self-doubt, battling imposter syndrome, and building what he calls his "utility belt" of frameworks for personal growth and freedom. We talk about the weight of expectations, the power of changing your mindset, and why life feels less like a ladder and more like a jungle gym.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear of failure, felt trapped by other people’s expectations, or just wanted permission to dream bigger, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize the "demons" you carry and how to stop passing them down

• Why fear is just "false expectations appearing real"

• The difference between chasing goals and building a life of meaning

• How to start investing in yourself today — and why it's the best decision you'll make
