In this episode of *What Are You Made Of?*, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with **Nick Day**, CEO and co-founder of JGA Recruitment Group, bestselling podcast host, author of *The Payroll Pivot*, and executive coach, for a powerful conversation about resilience, overcoming fear, and finding the courage to move forward when life changes unexpectedly.
Nick opens up about a life-altering tragedy that reshaped his perspective on success, purpose, and personal growth. From navigating grief and self-doubt to completing Ironman races and building successful businesses, he shares how his toughest experiences inspired him to help others break through the fears holding them back.
Through his Fear to Bold initiative, Nick introduces **The Fear Equation™**, explaining how anxiety, uncertainty, and imagination influence our decisions and how recognizing these patterns can help us take action with greater confidence. He and C-Roc also explore the future of AI in the workplace, the changing role of payroll and HR, and why human connection remains essential in an increasingly automated world.
This episode is a reminder that fear doesn't have to define our future. Sometimes, the greatest breakthroughs come from facing what scares us, embracing change, and discovering what we're truly made of.
**Tune in for an inspiring conversation about courage, reinvention, leadership, and turning life's hardest challenges into opportunities for growth.**
