IT'S NOT EASY TO BE COURAGEOUS

Feelings of fear and uncertainty often stop us dead in our tracks. But what if you had the courage to take action anyway? What changes would you make to transform your current reality into the life of your dreams?

IT'S NOT EASY TO BE COURAGEOUS

Scare Your Soul is a self-guided program designed to help you achieve that dream

In the beginning…

Back in 2016, Scare Your Soul founder Scott Simon knew he had to confront his decades-old fear of singing in public. So he built up his nerve, went to a busy restaurant, and sang his heart out. The sense of freedom he felt afterward was intense. And when he posted about this immense freedom, the post went viral. It empowered people around the world to tackle their own fears. 

Today, SYS is a global movement that empowers thousands of people every day… one small but powerful act of courage at a time.

Here's the good news.

Like a muscle, courage grows stronger the more you exercise it. Scare Your Soul guides you in taking small, boundary-pushing actions to expand your comfort zone (so that you feel less fear and more confidence.)

Life is a journey. Our work is about being the bad-ass captains of our own ships.

FOR THE INDIVIDUAL

Scare Your Soul encourages people everywhere to live fully, courageously, happily, and authentically by confronting the individual fears that stop you in your tracks.

FOR GROUPS

On a corporate, organizational, and institutional level, Scare Your Soul connects people in healthy, authentic, and boundary-pushing ways. This allows our participants to know, trust, and care for each other in powerful new ways. In this new reality, innovation thrives.

FOR WORLD CHANGE

Courage is contagious. When we begin to live a Scare Your Soul life, we become better leaders, innovators, and parents. We become better humans. And when we change positively, it affects others around us. The goodness multiplies. Division and polarization become impossible.

We’re literally changing the world from the inside out.
