For so many people, the thought of potentially hearing \u201cno\u201d is crippling enough to pass up the incredible possibility of \u201cyes.\u201d But as the saying goes, \u201cyou\u2019ll never know until you ask,\u201d and not asking at all, ironically, leads to that same dreaded \u201cno\u201d by default. So how do we find the courage to ask questions?  In this episode, I\u2019m sharing two occasions where - scared as I was - I took a shot at asking. One resulted in a business deal with one of the biggest luxury car companies in the world (for a firefighter calendar I was producing), and the other a close friendship with a celebrity musician who accepted my random and totally ridiculous fangirl request for a drum lesson. I hope these stories inspire you to look past the chance of \u201cno\u201d and envision what your life could look like if simply asking the question brings you a life-changing \u201cyes.\u201d In this episode, you\u2019ll learn: How to overcome the fear of asking questions Why you\u2019ll likely hear \u201cyes\u201d more than \u201cno\u201d if you just ask How I landed a sponsorship deal with Lamborghini Why we inevitably forget hearing \u201cno\u201d  How I became close friends with former P!nk drummer & speaker, Mark Schulman How to find the courage to ask questions Why we need to normalize asking questions This conversation was from a candid, behind-the-scenes chat with my producer, but I wanted to share it with you. Let me know your thoughts on this episode and the topic of asking questions. Is there a \u201cyes\u201d out there for you? (contacts below).
