How Facing Your Fears Can Help You Conqu...

About this episode

What if your biggest fear is the one thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live?


Fear is a liar. It whispers that you’re not good enough, that you should wait, that failure is too risky. But what if I told you that fear is actually the roadmap to your next breakthrough? In this episode, I sit down with some of the most incredible minds—Tony Robbins, Rich Diviney, Jen Gottlieb, Colin O’Brady, Robin Sharma, John Assaraf, and James Lawrence—to break down how fear is shaping your decisions, holding you back, and how you can use it as fuel to push forward.


Tony Robbins reveals how the media and external noise create unnecessary fear, and how the difference between fear and faith is simply the story we tell ourselves. Rich Diviney talks about resilience—not just bouncing back but coming back stronger—and shares the mindset shift that separates top performers from everyone else. Jen Gottlieb teaches how to put fear in the passenger seat and take control of your life, proving that when you face fear head-on, its power over you disappears. Colin O’Brady takes us through his incredible transformation from being told he’d never walk again to breaking world records by choosing courage over comfort.


You’ll also hear Robin Sharma explain why fear is the gateway to greatness, how we must “hug the monster” and realize that most of what we’re afraid of is an illusion. John Assaraf lays out a step-by-step process to retrain your brain and turn fear into a tool for success. And James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy, proves that the mind is more powerful than the body, walking us through his moments of absolute physical breakdown—and how he pushed through anyway.


In this episode, you will learn:

- How fear creates invisible barriers that are limiting your success

- The difference between fear and intuition (and how to tell them apart)

- Techniques to retrain your brain and use fear as fuel instead of a roadblock

- Why resilience is more than just “bouncing back”—it’s about becoming stronger

- The power of pushing past your limits and discovering what you're truly capable of


The truth is, you’re not afraid of failure—you’re afraid of what happens if you actually succeed. But let me remind you of something: you were born to do something great with your life. Don’t let fear rob you of that. The world doesn’t need a smaller version of you—it needs the real you, stepping up, playing full out, and living at the highest level. It’s time to face your fears and conquer them once and for all.
