Jessica Principe on Being Afraid and Doing it Anyway Mar 20, 2018

Show notes

We never know when inspiration is going to strike, or how much the courage to see it through can massively change the course of our lives.

Today's guest, Jessica Principe- had a sudden burst of genius (in the shower, of all places) and never looked back. She has gone on to create and launch All Girl Shave Club, a bi-monthly subscription business that took something that used to feel like a chore, and turned it into a thriving business that allows women to pamper themselves on a daily basis.

Jess and I dove into the courage that it took to move forward with her vision, and what it means to stare fear in the face- and do it anyway.

For all my fellow dreamers and doers out there who've gotten a little tripped up by doubt and fear - this episode is just the inspiration you need to get you marching onward.
