This is the Do It Scared Podcast with Ruth Suukup episode number four.

Today we are chatting with one of my very favorite authors, Ryan Holiday, about what you can do to avoid being your own worst enemy.

Welcome to the Do It Scared Podcast.

I'm your host, Ruth Sukup, and each week on the show we will talk about how to face your peers, overcome obstacles

and most importantly how to take action and create a life you love. Hey guys and welcome to the Do It Scared Podcast. My name is Ruth Sukup and I am the

founder of Livingwell Spinning Less and the Livingwell Planner as well as the

founder of Elite Blog Academy, and the New York Times

best-selling author of five, soon-to-be six books.

For those of you who already know me from either LWSL or EBA or from my weekly newsletter, let me just say

that I am so glad to have you joining me here on the podcast.

And for those of you who are brand new and just finding me here, welcome. We are going to have a lot of fun together.

In today's episode, we are going to be talking to best-selling author Ryan Holiday about turning trials into triumph.

Why it is so important to keep your ego in check,

why passion can actually be a little bit dangerous,

and why obstacles are actually a good thing. Ryan has a lot of insight to share on all these

topics and I promise that it will inspire you to take some action in your own life,

hopefully starting today.

Because that's what ultimately this podcast is all about.

It's about taking the steps that will help us move past our fear and create a life we love.

Because courage does not mean that we are never afraid.

Instead, courage is being scared but taking action anyway despite our fear.

It's putting one foot in front of the other even when we're not quite sure where the path will lead.
