His journey from rock bottom to redefining fear itself will change the way you look at discomfort, anxiety, and even imposter syndrome.Whether you're a gym owner resisting expansion, an entrepreneur paralyzed by "what if," or someone struggling with self-doubt, Akshay reveals a practical mental training framework to help you lean into fear and grow through it.

You'll learn how to rewire your brain's survival responses, use fear as fuel for courage and progress and build "mental muscle" through intentional discomfort. If you're ready to stop avoiding fear and start mastering it, this is the episode that flips the switch.
