What happens when you’re forced to face your biggest fear? In this solo episode, David Weisburd shares a deeply personal reflection on how moments of crisis can become the crucible that forges strength, resilience, and clarity. Drawing inspiration from Lloyd Blankfein’s reflections on the 2008 financial crisis, David explores why confronting your greatest fears—rather than avoiding them—can transform you into a more powerful, anti-fragile version of yourself. From Joe Rogan’s public reckoning to founders who rebuilt stronger after near-death moments, this episode unpacks the paradox of hardship: how the moments that almost break you often become the foundation for your greatest breakthroughs.
