| 0:00.0 | Boom! Shake the room, Fire Nation! JLD here and welcome to episode 1759 of EO Fire, where |
| 0:10.4 | I chat with entrepreneurs on fire 7 days a week. If you already did a master productivity |
| 0:17.4 | discipline and focus in just 100 days visit themasteryjournal.com. Now let's chat with today's featured |
| 0:24.6 | guest, Akshay Nanavate. Akshay, are you prepared to ignite? Yes, I am. Akshay is a marine veteran speaker, |
| 0:33.9 | adventurer and entrepreneur. His new book, Thearvana, is an actionable guide on how to turn |
| 0:41.0 | fear into a friend to accomplish anything. Akshay, take a minute, fill in some gaps from that |
| 0:47.1 | intro and give us a little glimpse of your personal life. Sure. So after spending six years in |

| 1:40.9 | stayed in touch though. You know, we've stayed in touch throughout because we're both veterans, combat |
| 1:45.0 | veterans, you Marines, myself, Army. And I'm excited because I think that you have a lot to |
| 1:49.6 | bring to this world. And you know, before we really dive into fear, Vaughna, which is going to be |
| 1:54.5 | the topic that we focus on today, Fire Nation, what would you consider your area of expertise today? |
| 2:01.6 | I would say it's mastering fear. I mean, ultimately fear is the sort of the most primitive |
| 2:06.1 | emotion. So it's really mastering our mindset so we can leverage it to accomplish any goal. |
