The Fallible Man Podcast

How much does fear and self-doubt plague even the most successful among us? More than you may realize. Personal development coach Jerry Scarlato seemed to have it all on the outside - a thriving business, loving marriage, and respectable career. Yet internally, he struggled for years with crippling confidence issues that constantly held him back from reaching his true potential.
It all came crashing down at age 39 when Jerry made the difficult decision to completely start his life over again. He closed his decade-old business, went through a painful divorce, and found himself questioning everything about his path.
Through deep self-reflection during this challenging transitional period, Jerry realized that many of his actions were dictated by the expectations of others rather than his own. He discovered that unless you consciously confront your unconscious beliefs, they will continue to limit what you can achieve.
Join Jerry as he courageously shares his personal journey of overcoming self-doubt and fear which had long blocked him from living life on his own terms.
You’ll discover:
✅ How even outwardly successful people grapple with confidence issues
✅ Why fear of failure destroys your ability to reach your potential
✅ How to rebuild your life from scratch in middle age
✅ Steps to stop pleasing others and start honoring your true self
"Unless you make the unconscious conscious, it will dictate your life and you will call it fate." - Jerry Scarlato
If Jerry’s story of staring down his fears to create the life he wants resonates with you, don’t miss this brutally honest conversation. You just may find the inspiration needed to finally start believing in your own limitless potential.
