Chris Gillan — Walking through fear to go from valeting cars to entrepreneur, investor, and mentor
Fear is a Liar by Ronnie Gyani
Have you ever woken up in the morning and faced immense fear of the unknown? Or even fear of the known, unsure how you’re going to tackle what lies ahead? Had to come face-to-face with your greatest fears to move forward? Have you been held at gunpoint in the jungle of Honduras?
Ok, the last one may be unique to our guest on episode #2 of my podcast, Fear is a Liar.

Or even fear of the known, unsure how you’re going to tackle what lies ahead? Had to come face-to-face with your greatest fears to move forward? Have you been held at gunpoint in the jungle of Honduras?
Ok, the last one may be unique to our guest on episode #2 of my podcast, Fear is a Liar. We hear how Chris Gillan went from valeting cars to becoming a mentor and Vice President at the Capital Factory, one of the most active startup investors in the State of Texas. Chris shows us how facing your fears and using your negative feelings to lunge toward your goals can lead to success.
Chris grew up with a desire to always know what was next, what was around the corner. But, growing up in a single-parent household with little extra money limited his ability to explore the world. So when he got the chance to leave home and explore on his own, he did so and never looked back. From the risk of traveling through the jungle of Honduras to leaving his full-time job to start his own business, Chris has overcome fears that kept him up at night to make it to the top.Other authorsSee publication -

Today, parking garages are becoming Mobility Hubs where it's not just a place where you park your car. Juan Rodriguez opened our minds to how he and his team at FlashParking are looking to revolutionize the parking industry. “Think about charging… Think about getting your car washed. Think about Amazon dropping off a package inside the trunk of your vehicle. Think about Goodyear installing new tires” all of this and more can be done at a Mobility Hub.

T. Scott Morgan (Chris's pen name) , AKA The Preppy Hippie, leads his audience on a journey from Mediocrity to Miraculous. Are you frustrated with your current reality, and KNOW you've always deserved more? You're not at rock bottom, but you're not rock solid either. Maybe you've been struggling to stay afloat, when in your mind, you KNOW you're destined for greatness? Your friends are passing you by, while you KNOW you're more deserving than they are. If this describes you, then the Preppy Hippie may be just the philosopher you've been praying for. You can trust him to lead you from the desert to the promised land, because he was exactly where you are now... for much of his life. As he studied the works of the great personal development masters for 20+ years, attended countless seminars and bought every program he could scrape money together to purchase, he continued struggling to maintain mediocrity for far too long, The Preppie Hippy, as he became known in the Personal Development field, finally found the elusive key which propelled him from Mediocrity to Miraculous. Finally, he began to see results, small at first, then the flood gates opened, and his dreams were coming true, right before his eyes. Career, money, relationships, freedom, and above all else... RELIEF. Scott now shares his knowledge and wisdom with you, helping the uncommon man... the man (or woman) who knows deep inside that they're destined for greatness, but just... can't... break free from the debilitating bondage of mediocrity. Inside this condensed, quick to the point, book, in just 15 minutes you'll learn the powerful truth about affirmations: What they are, where to find them, how they work, and why they're such a powerful tool... one of the keys to unlocking your potential, which has been hidden from the world for far too long.
