560. Boldness Is a Superpower with Fred Joyal
Episode description
Most people are stacking up regrets because they're missing opportunities they were too hesitant to take.
Fred Joyal grew 1-800-DENTIST from a single phone number into a billion-dollar referral business over 30 years. But it was only when he looked back at his own journey from shy and underconfident to genuinely bold that he realized boldness is the real superpower, and it is a skill anyone can learn.
In this episode of Get Yourself Optimized, Fred breaks down exactly what it takes to build boldness systematically, market a book in today's digital-first world, and stop letting other people's opinions run your life.
What we unpacked together:
-
Why boldness is a skill, not a trait, and how to build it one action at a time
-
The real needle movers for book marketing in a world with three and a half million podcasts
-
Why digital and audio versions of your book are the only formats that are actually growing
-
How to use one-star reviews on competitor books as free competitive intelligence
