Your Comfort Zone Is a Coffin. In this interview, serial entrepreneur Jason Todd shares his core philosophy that "fear guards the gateway to your growth". He argues that if you're not doing something that scares you, you're not trying hard enough, and that staying comfortable is a recipe for stagnation. Jason, who built and sold a $100 million e-commerce company, also reveals his most expensive, recurring mistake that cost him millions: hiring "safe people" instead of true experts. Finally, he explains his humbling belief that "you are already wrong in some way... you are not yet aware of," and why every founder needs to hear it. Check out the company: https://jasontodd.com
