Patrick Sweeney is a full-time adventurer, motivational speaker, and is known as the fear guru who helps people use fear as something that can be beneficial as opposed to something that holds people back. Early in his life, he was an Olympic Rower, top MBA school graduate, and a successful entrepreneur. But despite these great accomplishments, he found his lifestyle largely unfulfilling, and it wasn’t until he had a near encounter with death battling Lukemia where he recognized that life is too short to do things you hate. So he decided to take an approach in life he knew was going to be fulfilling and become an adventurer, which has led him to remarkable accomplishments, such as setting a world record as the first to officially bike to Mt. Everest’s base camp and winning the 3,000 mile bike Race Across America. But most admirably, his greatest accomplishment is being someone whose mission is to help people find the adventure within themselves. He is also the author of the upcoming book, Fear is Fuel which will be releasing in the near future!

In this episode, Patrick and I discuss how to be more courageous in life, how to use fear as something that will move you forward, and how to make decisions based off of opportunity as opposed to fear
