You don’t have to have it all figured out.

(Presence is what unlocks the path forward.)

This week on the One Fear Per Year Podcast, I sat downwith Mike Lee—a former NBA skills coach who’sworked with legends like Steph Curry and Joel Embiid,and now a leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and #1best-selling author.

But Mike’s story isn’t just about basketball or business.

It’s about how he walked through one of the darkest seasons of hislife—

a brutal 9-month withdrawal from antidepressants thatleft him battling anxiety, fear, and emptiness for years—

and came out the other side with a radicalunderstanding of presence.

Today, Mike helps world-class athletes, Fortune 500 executives, andhigh-performing teams tap into this same power—

because, as he says, “True performance only happens whenyou’re fully present.”

We talk about:

➜ How fear shows up for NBA players at the highestlevel.

➜ The connection between mindfulness, leadership, andresilience.

➜ Why trust—not fear—is the ultimate game-changer.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, anxious, or unsure of your next move,this episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and step into thepresent moment.
