Fear isn't going anywhere. It's been with you your entire life, and it'll be with you until the end. So why spend your life trying to escape something you can learn to use?

In this episode, I'm talking about developing a fear practice. Inspired by Steven Kotler's The Art of Impossible, we explore why successful people aren't just running away from something—they're running toward something better.

I'll walk you through two ways to train yourself to face fear: flooding and systematic desensitization. One teaches you to do the thing without negotiating. The other teaches you to sit in the discomfort long enough to develop the competence, confidence, and courage to keep going.

After 28 years in sales, I still get nervous. I still don't like rejection. But I've learned that I don't have to eliminate fear to move forward.

This week, I challenge you to stop avoiding the conversations, decisions, and opportunities that make you uncomfortable. Develop a fear practice. Do the thing anyway.

Fear is fuel. You can let it eat you alive, or you can use it to move your life forward.

Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.

What if you had been more persistent in certain areas of your life? Where would you be today?

It's a haunting question, but here's the good news: You can start changing that today.

Today, I'm working from Steven Kotler's book The Art of Impossible, exploring three psychological traits that can help you become more persistent in sales and life.

Willpower. Mindset. Passion.

You've heard those words a thousand times, but I want to challenge you to look at them differently.

We'll talk about why willpower isn't unlimited, why curiosity is the key to developing a growth mindset, and why passion isn't necessarily about loving what you do every day.

My definition of passion? Intense curiosity applied to something for a very long time.

Because persistence isn't about never getting frustrated or wanting to quit. It's about being curious enough to come back and try again.

Whether you're struggling in your career, relationships, finances, or personal growth, I want you to think about one question as you listen:

Where in your life could you be more persistent today?

Keep it simple. Keep it moving.

Never settle. Stay tough. Peace.

Have you ever gotten mentally worn out thinking about something you still haven’t done?

You keep saying you’ll get around to it. This weekend. When things settle down. When you have more time. Meanwhile, you’re carrying it around and spending energy on the same unfinished commitment.

Man, I know that feeling.

Today’s random reading took me back to Steven Kotler’s The Art of Impossible and a chapter called “The Habit of Ferocity.” It hit me right where I needed it: developing the instinct to lean into a challenge before you negotiate your way out of taking action.

In this episode, I share how I’m applying that idea to the little “micro pockets” of opportunity throughout the day. We talk about drive, goals, and grit; doing the next useful thing; and knowing when to delegate so you can empower someone else to get in the mix.

This applies to your faith, family, fitness, finances, and fulfillment—both professionally and creatively.

I also share a personal realization: I’ve spent years revisiting some of the same frustrations while walking my dogs in the morning. I’m ready to close those loops, and I’m practicing this right alongside you.

Less time carrying the intention. More time living it.

This comes from Steven Kotler's book The Art of Impossible, chapter “The Habit of Ferocity.”
