Scott discusses fear and what we could potentially achieve, depending on our risk tolerance. This series is now complete and has spanned from Episodes 243 to 246. Your regular host, Rob Booker, will return on Monday for Episode 247. But we’ve been grateful to have The Coach as our guest host for the past two weeks. Thanks, Scott!
