Dave Albin knows all the reasons you don't want to walk with bare feet on 1000 degree hot coals--after all, he didn't want to do it either!  He was first presented with the opportunity at a Tony Robbins seminar many years ago.  But he did it--and soon thereafter was working as the Fire Captain for Robbins.  Albin now runs his own company, Firewalk Adventures, where he uses fear-based elements like glasswalking, firewalking, board breaking, arrow breaking, and fire eating to show people what is really possible in life.  Albin has seen (thousands of times) how the fears you don't overcome become your limits.  Firewalking shows that when you take a first step--don't stop! Keep moving forward.

As mentioned in the episode, here is the link to Oprah Winfrey's firewalk with Tony Robbins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iypdbvsDkOo
