This week's guest is A.J. Bond, founder of Discomfortable: a "shame education" platform and podcast. We discuss how shame and other negative emotions can hold entrepreneurs back, and A.J. shares some tips for getting comfortable with discomfort.

We also talked about his work on Discomfortable, including his successful podcast, and his upcoming book.

Here's A.J. describing a bit more about Discomfortable:

“A few years ago, I had a crazy breakthrough about shame that dramatically improved my life. I started this podcast to help others demystify their shame as well. Getting Discomfortable is all about getting comfortable with the discomfort of shame and other unpleasant emotions so that we can get closer to understanding ourselves and connecting with others. Topics include psychology, philosophy, self-help, and of course a whole lot of shame. To learn more about me personally, check out the episode on Identity.”
