Can you be afraid to fly, and have a deep desire to travel all at the same time?

Yes, you absolutely can. It is what you do with this fear that makes all the difference. We discuss some ways to overcome these fears together. If this is something you struggle with, then today’s episode is perfect for you. We would love to introduce you to our awesome friend, Jeff Price.

We are so thrilled to have Jeff with us on the show today. He and Jimmy have been friends since 2006. They were hired around the same time as firefighters in Iowa, and became instant friends. You forge a fast bond with others when you are literally running into burning buildings. Jeff and Jimmy worked closely on the Northern Warren Fire Department in Des Moines. Together they were even able to petition for a piece of the World Trade Center. Their department was the first in Iowa to display a piece of the World Trade Center as a memorial to their fallen brothers. It is still on display today. Incredible! They won’t ever tell you this, but they are true hero’s.

Jimmy has always been a traveler, and has been a major influence for Jeff in that way. The pair would often hit the road traveling to firefighter conferences in other cities and states around the USA. While Jeff has a fear of flying, he doesn’t have a fear of driving. If he can drive or take a train he is always up to go someplace new. He is naturally curious and wants to overcome his fear of flying so he can experience all the world has to offer him.

After hearing all about Jeff from Jimmy, Amanda was finally able to meet him in May 2017. She immediately adored him allowing them to become instant friends. Upon their first meeting Jeff said “I’m a huge fan!” as he had been watching Chubby and Away before meeting her. It was on this trip Amanda was able to walk a few steps in a firefighters shoes by trying on the actual fire gear they wear. After only knowing each other for a few minutes, Jeff was already joking and picking at her as she struggled to get the gear on. You can see the whole funny situation below including a shot of the 9/11 Memorial.

During our travels in Asia, we talked to Jeff almost daily. We were able to show him the foods, flavors, cultures, and stunning sights we were experiencing. He loved seeing everything, and has added countries to his travel bucket list he didn’t have previously because of it. We have always wanted to inspire people to travel and see the world. It’s a serious blessing to be able to do that for a close friend. Jeff has a special spirit as he is warm and open to others. These traits are apparent in our conversation with him in today’s episode. He blesses everyone he meets. We can’t wait to see how his worldly travels will impact his life, and the lives of those close to him.

Overcoming a fear of flying is often very difficult. In our chat with Jeff we discuss 8 steps to overcoming a fear of flying. We hope these 8 steps can help many of you as well. See the link below.
