I get to really get connected to that because my fears become my greatest teacher.

And through that that's how I've learned bravery.

So I'll give you an example.

If I'm

afraid to go into a meeting and ask for something that I want or recommend something to a client.

And I'll usually just get a little deeper into, you know, what is the worst thing that can happen or what am I really afraid of?

I'm afraid of looking stupid.

I'm afraid of not knowing something.

I'm afraid of being vulnerable.

You know, I'll go through the list of things.

And once I started putting names on those fear elements.

the ability to actually challenge that became easier and easier because when my fear name didn't have a title and when I couldn't actually call it out, then I didn't know how to combat it.

And so my bravery literally is like a muscle that I exercise over time, which is, okay, I'm walking into this meeting and um I'm afraid of looking stupid or I'm afraid of not sounding right.

All right, well, what's the worst that can happen?

Somebody thinks I'm stupid.

Well, guess what?

People are gonna think you're stupid, whether you're the smartest person in the room or not.

I can't control that.

I can't control them.

So what can I control?
