Fear doesn’t just stop us in our tracks — it quietly shapes our choices, our discipline, and our relationships. In this episode, former Army Ranger, college linebacker, and strength & performance coach Judd Lienhard breaks down the seven core fears that hold us back: suffering, knowing the truth, the unknown, responsibility, commitment, isolation, and frustration.

These fears don’t just affect performance in the gym — they affect how we live, lead, and love. Judd shares how to recognize them, how they subtly control our behavior, and how to take back control.

“Hate is not the opposite of love. Fear is.”

If you want to stop letting fear run your life — and start building discipline, resilience, and true strength — this episode is for you.
