Brian Muka, entrepreneur and founder of Fearsherpa.com, is a man on a mission. Brian is no stranger to fear and terror, and is using his experience with these sensations to guide others. Brian is teaching people all manner of techniques to be able to feel their fear, and to use it as a tool for personal development and a greater quality of life. Brian has worked as a bomb techincian, navy diver, is a yoga practitioner, soon-to-be author and podcaster, ukelele player (we had a very brief jam session with Wim Hof himself in LA), and probably much more I'm unaware of.

Brian and I talk about the experience of fear and leaning into one's fear. We discuss the necessity of adversity, difficult experiences, and terror, and how this foundational philosophy manifests in Brian's life and business.

We discuss shamanic and Amazonian medicine experiences with Kambo, Rape (Hape?), and Ayahausca, meditative techniques, of course the Wim Hof Method and our meeting at the instructor workshop. We also discuss my own introduction to psilocybin and psychedelics, and synchronous events in life.

It is really an incredible conversation that hits points both philosophical and practical, abstract as well as concrete.

Stay tuned for Brian's book release (which will be available for pre-order at fearsherpa.com), his upcoming podcast (titled The Rabbit Hole), his upcoming Wim Hof workshops, and online courses dealing with the Fran crossfit workout and more!
