0:05.0	This is the show for you if you are sick and tired of being held back by fear, self-doubt,
0:10.0	social anxiety, shyness, anything that's stopping you from you being you.
0:15.0	I'm going to share the most powerful tools and resources that I've been discovering over the last 15 years on my
0:21.9	journey to eradicate social anxiety and instill confidence, first in myself and then in every
0:28.5	single person that I meet on my journey. You're going to learn these tools and how to apply them
