Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

What if the thing standing between you and your dream... is your fear of failing?
(Watch the full video interview on YouTube here. https://youtu.be/nEINMa-lDJU)
Scott Scovill (www.scottscovill.com and https://tenaciousbook.com/ ) was flunking out of college, waiting tables, and terrified to try when a chance encounter with a touring crew from U2 changed everything. Two years later, he was on tour with the Rolling Stones. (whaaaaat??!)
But this isn't a story about fame.
It's a story about what happens when you stop letting fear make your decisions...true Dancing in the Discomfort Zone territory.
In this powerful conversation, Scott shares how he learned to keep going despite anxiety, rejection, setbacks, and self-doubt, and why tenacity isn't about stubbornly and stupidly banging your head against a wall. It's about refusing to give up on the destination, even when you need a new route.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why fear can be both your greatest enemy and your greatest motivator
- The difference between being stubborn and being tenacious
- What the Rolling Stones taught Scott about chasing impossible dreams
- The fact that successful people fail more often than most people realize
- How to know when it's time to pivot instead of quit
- The surprising truth Taylor Swift shared about success and fear
- Why life is a team sport—and you shouldn't do it alone
If you've ever wondered if you should keep going, change direction, or finally take the leap, this episode is for you.
Because the dream isn't found in the comfort. It's on the other side of trying.
