About this title

Synopsis

Transform Fear into Fuel, One Micro-Moment at a Time

Drawing on Joze’s own incredible journey from being afraid to speak, due to a debilitating stutter, to becoming an award-winning speaker and stand-up comedian, Stop Holding Back will help you harness fear as a catalyst for personal and professional growth. With practical strategies, simple daily habits and inspiring true stories of change, you’ll discover how to:

• Disrupt the Hollywood Fallacy: Change rarely happens in a single dramatic breakthrough. It’s built in small, everyday acts of courage—micro-moments of bravery where you choose to speak up, take action, or show up.
• Let Fear and Action Coexist: You don’t have to wait to be fearless to act. When you move forward despite fear, you win—regardless of the result. Action builds resilience, confidence, and progress.
• Stop Trading Long-Term Growth for Short-Term Comfort: Avoiding what scares you might feel safe today, but it costs you growth, fulfillment, and opportunity tomorrow.
• Reframe the Pain: Most fear-inducing moments are psychological discomforts that last just seconds. Facing them can unlock change.
• Follow the Fear Compass: What scares you might point directly to the next chapter of growth. Let fear guide you toward purpose, not away from it.

Your life today does not have to dictate your life tomorrow; change is possible. Your fears might never stop, so why should you?

About the Author

JOZE PIRANIAN is a lifelong stutterer turned speaker and stand-up comedian. Growing up in Lebanon with a debilitating stutter, Joze avoided speaking almost entirely for more than 25 years. In the past six years, everything changed when Joze turned his obstacle into triumphant public speaking and stand-up comedy performances in three continents and four languages (he stutters in six of them). Joze has delivered speeches at organizations such as the FBI, the United Nations, Google, Meta, TikTok, Tesla, IBM, BCG, Deloitte, Dell, Scotiabank, Rogers, Bell and also spoken at universities, (including his two alma matters: McGill University and Queen’s University). Joze lives in Toronto.
