Flight #51 Flying in the Face of Fear with Kim "KC" Campbell

Quote: Nelson Mandela once said: "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

Kim "KC" Campbell - "Fear can prevent us from achieving success or it can lead us to a greater path of growth and change if we harness it effectively."
