Episode #085: Beat Fear and Slay Rejection Once and For All - a podcast by Jeff Brown

Today’s guest, Jia Jiang, has carved out quite a niche for himself.

In a relatively short period of time, he has become known simply as the “Rejection Guy.”

If you’ve ever had to deal with fear, rejection, failure or all three, then this episode is especially for you.

Jia’s brand new book is based on his rejection therapy research and is called Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection.

For 100 days straight, Jia sought to approach a single stranger and make a sometimes silly, sometimes outlandish request. Though incredibly difficult – even scary – in the beginning, Jia discovered that, like most things we tend to dread, each successive attempt resulted in slightly less and less fear.

He also discovered methods for helping defuse his fears and hesitations, increasing his level of confidence throughout. It’s a fascinating conversation and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

In today’s episode, Jia and I dig into:



What it took to muster the courage to leave a great job and launch out on his own

How his initial failure led to an epiphany

Why rejection really says more about the other person than it does about you

And much more!
