What if fear wasn’t something to fight against but something to harness?

In this moving and deeply inspiring episode, Matt Pohlson, co-founder and CEO of Omaze, shares a letter to his younger self that will change the way you think about courage, success and self-belief.

From the outside, Matt’s story is extraordinary. He’s built a for-profit company that has revolutionised charitable giving through innovative house giveaways, raising over £77 million for charities in the UK*! But beneath it all, his journey has been shaped by the same fears and doubts we all experience. And that’s exactly why his words resonate so deeply.

Matt reminds us that everyone feels fear — even the boldest, most successful people. The difference? They’ve learned how to turn down the volume on doubt just enough to take the next step. His letter is filled with wisdom, warmth and practical lessons on how to move forward even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

Matt’s words are a reminder that fear doesn’t mean we’re on the wrong track — it’s proof that we’re pushing ourselves toward something bigger. That love and optimism aren’t just feel-good concepts — they’re superpowers. The way we speak to ourselves matters more than we realise.

If you have big dreams but a little bit of doubt, this episode is for you. Let Matt’s letter be the nudge you need to trust yourself, quiet the fear and take the leap.
