Your Fears Are REAL & Here's How You Fac...

Ed Mylett | Cumulus Podcast Network
About this episode

This is your blueprint to start living with more courage and purpose.



Let’s cut through the noise. Fear is real—it’s wired into our DNA for a reason—but it doesn't have to cripple you. I'll show you how to take that fear, reframe it, and use it as fuel to propel you forward, whether you're facing a big decision, starting a business, or just trying to get through your day with confidence.



FEAR is one of the most misunderstood and universal emotions we all face. Whether it's fear of failure, fear of rejection, or just that everyday anxiety about life and the world around us, today's episode is packed with real, actionable strategies to help you take control.


Here’s what you’ll take away:



  • Why fear isn’t just “False Evidence Appearing Real” and how to identify when it’s serving a real purpose.

  • The neuroscience behind fear and why your body reacts the way it does under stress.

  • How to shift from fear to excitement by changing your thoughts and reframing your emotions.

  • Strategies for confronting and “dancing” with your fears instead of letting them paralyze you.

  • The 51% rule: You don’t need to eliminate fear, just tip the scales enough to take action.

  • How to use trigger words and physical techniques to instantly shift your state.


I’m challenging you to face your fears head-on. Whether it’s a big presentation, a tough conversation, or just the day-to-day battles of life, fear doesn’t have to hold you back. Let’s take action together, step into the discomfort, and MAXOUT your life!
