Do you feel it?
As you get older you want to make a change to your life. Things that once felt like your purpose no longer align.
Well, you’re not alone.
My guest in this episode has not only experienced the same thing, he has written about it in award winning fashion. Dan Kieran suffered from many phobias from agoraphobia, fear of flying, getting in lifts and more. To move through them he had to put in the work.
And every time he did, he felt more whole. As though he had discovered a missing piece of himself.
Dan talks about how he moved through the phobias and his experiences in business leading companies. As well as his second journey of individual development later in life.
