Today, I’m joined by Fred Joyal—entrepreneur, former creative director, founder of 1‑800‑Dentist, author of Super Bold, and a speaker who teaches people how to build boldness as a life skill. Fred brings a fascinating perspective on the intersection of boldness and communication; especially how bold action can fuel confidence and elevate your ability to connect with others.
In this episode, Fred explains how communication goes beyond mere information sharing, why boldness is essential in a world increasingly dominated by AI and remote work, and how practicing discomfort — like role‑playing or speaking in front of others — accelerates growth. We also explore voice techniques from his experience with vocal training, the power of “failure as information,” and practical ways to start strengthening your boldness muscle today.
Let’s dive in.
