Akshay Nanavati is a\xa0U.S Marine veteran, speaker, entrepreneur, author and ultra-runner.\xa0He overcame many of life's most difficult challenges and discovered that adversity is one of our greatest gifts. He developed FEARVANA a philosophy that teaches us to find bliss through engaging in fear and pursuit of "worthy struggles." Akshay has\xa0pushed his limits in the most hostile, and awe-inspiring environments on the planet - he once dragged a 190-pound sled across the second largest icecap in the world in temps below -40 degrees. He's a guy who puts the rubber on the ice-covered road.\xa0If fear, adversity, or hard times are keeping you from having the life you want, then this show may be just what you need. \xa0 When people ask Akshay what he does, how does he like to reply? At what point did Akshay\xa0first become conscious of Fearvana? We explain PTSD. What is a day like\xa0when you are going through PTSD? Akshay was\xa0diagnosed with PTSD, but he didn't have it.

How does he make it his\xa0ally? In 2007 Akshay\xa0deployed to Iraq to walk in front of vehicle convoys to find IED's. What was he saying to himself in that danger? Akshay\xa0thrives in adversity - why is that? What\xa0was the exact moment when Akshay\xa0felt the\xa0beauty in adversity?

When giving a wedding speech or having a difficult conversation, how does Akshay\xa0coach people to reframe fear? Akshay likes to\xa0label\xa0emotions.
