Fear Will Destroy You or Drive You

We all experience fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear that we’re just not enough – fear is a common current that runs through all of our lives. You could be fearful of failing in business, or in a relationship. You could be fearful of death, or of not living life to its fullest. You could be fearful of asking your boss for a raise, or of your friends and family not accepting who you are. For so many people, fear rules their lives. And if we let it, fear can prevent us from reaching our true potential.

In this episode, we’re diving into fear – how it shows up, how we handle it in different ways, and how we can use it to serve a valuable purpose and achieve the lives we truly desire. You’ll first hear from Tony, as he shares his strategies on how he’s conditioned his OWN mind to overcome fear, in order to become a successful entrepreneur that impacts the lives of millions of people.

You’ll also hear from Siri Lindley, a world-champion triathlete and coach – who, at one point in her life, was so crippled by her own fears and OCD that she could barely leave her own house. Siri shares her story of how she turned her fears upside down – and gained the mental strength, courage, and toughness to become the best triathlete in the world, and find love and respect for herself along the way.

You may remember Sanni McCandless, from the Oscar-winning documentary, ‘Free Solo,’ that follows her boyfriend, Alex Honnold, as he attempts to climb El Capitan – the 3,000 foot granite face looming over Yosemite Valley, without any ropes or safety harnesses. But not all fears are about life and death. You’ll hear how Sanni, a life coach, helps her clients work through everyday fears, and get a glimpse into how she overcame her own fear the day that Alex free soloed the El Capitan climb.
