Are your fears holding you back more than you realize? In this powerful episode of No Sitting on the Sideline Dad, I sit down with Jack Cohen — entrepreneur, author, and believer in the power of self-investment — to unpack the hidden fears and family patterns that keep so many of us stuck.

Jack shares stories about facing his self-doubt, battling imposter syndrome, and building what he calls his “utility belt” of frameworks for personal growth and freedom.
