The fear of failure is something many songwriters face. Sometimes, this fear holds writers back from pursuing songwriting. Also, moments of failure can lead to discouragement and self-doubt. There are several ways of overcoming the fear of failure and seeing each setback as a stepping stone to success. I’m honored to welcome Eyvindur Karlsson onto the show for such an inspiring conversation. and

The quote for this episode is by Michael Jordan: “The key to success is failure.” Eyvindur and I explore the fear of failure in such an open and honest way. We share our own experiences with struggling to feel good enough and negative self-talk. A lot of being afraid to fail comes from a lack of confidence and comparing ourselves to others. We have to work through these difficult emotions and be willing to take chances. Eyvindur and I talk about seven ways to overcome the fear of failure, and they are all golden. Our conversation inspired me so much, and I hope it inspires you as well.
