Mark Metry, the author of \\u2018\\u2019Screw Being Shy\\u2019, believes that communicating your authentic self to others is crucial to achieving success, and counts himself among the 40%-60% of people who report being uncomfortable in social situations. My anecdotal research tells me the number is closer to 100%. \\xa0

Tackling a difficult subject, social anxiety, head-on, Mark has curated over 50 scientific references about mental health, social anxiety, and personal transformation. Though it\\u2019s the personal anecdotes Mark includes, that bring this book to life.\\xa0

I\\u2019d use another word to describe Mark: \\u2018resilient\\u2019. His experience tells him that life\\u2019s challenges are best faced head-on. So it should come as no surprise that he\\u2019s taking the broader view when discussing the challenges of having your first book launch coincide with the proliferation of a global pandemic.\\xa0

\\u2018Perhaps the timing has never been more appropriate to discuss social anxiety?\\u2019\\xa0 Feeling largely isolated growing up, Mark turned inward which led to myriad health issues, including asthma, insomnia, and gastrointestinal ailments which together zapped his physical energy.\\xa0

The isolation many of us are feeling now isn\\u2019t the same. It isn\\u2019t all that much different. And Mark has developed a framework that works for him. The same framework that has resulted in Mark being a Forbes Featured keynote speaker, podcast host and strategist. In total, his thoughts, views, podcasts, and videos have been viewed over 50+ Million times, featured in the likes of Forbes, Influencive, Inc, Huffington Post, Fearless Motivation, and on over 100 radio and podcast shows. His Humans 2.0 podcast reached #96 globally on August 16, 2018.\\xa0

For those grappling with social anxiety, or know someone who may be, particularly as we move from an in-person modality to a virtual one, this is a podcast worth checking out.
