Gregory Stock

The signal of your intrinsic worth bounces right off of you because it doesn't match the exhausted story you already carry about yourself.

Scott Simon and Gregory Stock gave us the question that cuts straight through the armor.

What is the lie you tell yourself to feel safe that is really holding you back? In a world governed by algorithms, the safest lie you can tell yourself is that if you just work a little harder, optimize your schedule, and say yes to one more project, you'll finally cross the finish line in peace.

You won't.

And this merging idea isn't mine, right? This actually comes from Ray Kurzweil.

Gregory Stock also wrote Metaman in 1993.

So what I'm adding is what the last mergers did to both sides.

So I'm trying to add a prediction onto this and looking at the person and the company at the same time.

But there's a question underneath all of that: how do you know what needs to change if you're not willing to ask yourself the questions that reveal it? That's where today's conversation begins.

I'm joined by Scott Simon and Dr. Gregory Stock, two people who have spent decades approaching the same human problem from very different directions.

Scott is the founder of the Scare Your Soul Courage movement, where he has helped people practice courage by stepping beyond their comfort zones.

You may remember him from a few years ago in episode 300.

It can reveal something about you, it can reveal something about someone you love, and sometimes it can change the direction of your life.

So as you listen, I want you to think about this.

What's one question you've been avoiding because you already suspect you know the answer? Here's my conversation with Scott Simon and Gregory Stock.

Thank you for choosing Passion Struck and choosing me to be your host and guide on your journey to creating a fulfilling life.

What if one of the biggest things holding you back itself isn't fear itself, but a story you've been telling yourself to stay safe? On Thursday, I'm joined by Scott Simon and Dr.

Gregory Stock, the co-authors of The Book of Questions, Courage.

Scott is the founder of the Scare Your Soul Courage Movement, and Gregory is the author of the best-selling book, The Book of Questions.

And during our conversation, Scott shared one question from the new book that he says cuts straight to the core.
