The Other Side of Fear


Listen Later

Among other things, I'm a skateboarder, and I have been for 35 years or so, on and off. In the past year or so my son has taken up skateboarding, and it's given me a reason to get back on the board, roll around at skateparks, and try some old and new tricks. But the most interesting thing for me – apart from rediscovering the joy of skateboarding, and the satisfaction of making a difficult trick – is how much it has given me a new relationship with FEAR. 

In this episode I go deep into fear, how it works at a biological level, and what it can do to our experience of life. I also talk about how my son was a massive inspiration for me looking more closely at my fear, and discovering a massive surprise on the other side of my fear. 

Take a listen, and hit me up with your takeaways!

With love and gratitude,

    • Affiliate Disclaimer: I occasionally refer programs or products that pay me a commission. You don't pay any extra, but if you choose to buy these products/programs/courses/etc, I may earn money from your purchase. There are a couple of qualifiers here: 1) I operate with Integrity in everything I do, and I don't recommend anything I don't personally use or LOVE. If I'm talking about it, it's because I truly believe in it. 2) Earning affiliate commissions helps me continue producing free content like these podcast, and sharing these messages with people who need to hear them.
