EP 47: The Best of Show Your Business Who's Boss – Jesse Sommer

<p> </p> <p>I invited Jesse onto the show right after he came back from a seven month stint in Afghanistan which happened to coincide with COVID happening so he came back to the States to a very different world and that was pretty fascinating.</p> <p> </p> <p>I had him on because I wanted to see how he was doing and I knew he'd always have some good stories and it ended up being really applicable to a lot of the things that I find entrepreneurs are dealing with.</p> <p> </p> <p>He starts by sharing about the first five times that he jumped out of a plane in Army Ranger school and how terrifying each of those five jumps were. I mean, literally risking his life but also almost dying in every single one and managing to keep going back. I don't know how he did that.</p> <p> </p> <p>And that was 55 jumps ago.</p> <p> </p> <p>It’s so powerful to hear this story, because even though it's a really different kind of fear than maybe what you and I experience every day, it reminds me of all the times I’ve done things that really scare me—and how I can’t even really remember how I felt scared of them now since I’ve done them so many times.</p> <p> </p> <p>We’ve been revisiting past episodes that really stood out and today is the last episode in that series</p> <p> </p> <p>Make sure to go back and re-listen to the full episode with Jesse, <a href="https://www.piasilva.com/show-notes/20-jesse-sommer">EP 20: Contracting Coronavirus In Afghanistan, Engaging With Fear, And A Different Approach To Personal Growth With Jesse Sommer</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Learn more about Jesse:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://altamontenterprise.com/opinion/columns/so-swears-new-scot/07092020/we-dont-remember-history-erecting-monuments">We Don’t ‘Remember History’ By Erecting Monuments by Jesse Sommer</a></li> <li><a href="https://altamontenterprise.com/author/jesse-s-sommer">All of Jesse’s columns on The Altamonte Enterprise</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Learn more about Pia:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/nobsagencyo
