Embrace Your Fear and Find Fulfilment

High Performance
About this episode

Fear of an unfulfilling life can feel overwhelming, but is it always a bad thing? In this episode, Jake and Damian dive into this universal tension of wanting success without sacrificing too much, and craving fulfilment while avoiding constant comparison. They explore how reframing fear, learning to sit with it, and embracing the present moment can help us live more fulfilling lives.


Drawing wisdom from incredible guests like Usain Bolt, Prof. Steve Peters, Mel Robbins, and David Smith MBE, they highlight how fulfillment isn’t some distant goal but something we can find here and now by shifting our perspective.


Listen in as Jake and Damian unpack this balancing act and share practical insights to help you navigate your own path to a fulfilling life.
