Adversity as Our Greatest Teacher of Success; with Craig Fearn

In today's episode, I met with someone who has a large well of wisdom learned from a journey of incredible pain and adversity. A humble, heart-centred person who walks his talk and has found a way to heal his self-perception and help countless others.

He's a maverick of passion and uniqueness, and brings all of his gifts into his world of mental health well-being and helping organisations evolve through focussing on our unique individuality.

Here's a summary of what we discussed:

5:50 - who  he serves
8:10 - experts aren't created overnight
12:23 - academic vs experiential expertise
13:30 - his background & journey
31:00 - celebrate the 1/2 step
53:45 - the outlaw or maverick

and much more...

Enjoy!
