Worth The Fight Podcast


Dec 30, 2019

What if we could enjoy suffering—our struggles? Akshay is on a mission to reframe fear, not as something to avoid but something to be addressed and faced head-on, living meaningful lives in service to our highest potential and our human family. 

 
What might be possible if we looked at our fears as teachers and growth opportunities to live more full lives? Akshay gives us the blueprint on how to do just that with his groundbreaking book, "Fearvana."
