The Fear Game: 4 Rules for Doing Scary Things

The Fear Game: 4 Rules for Doing Scary Things

I've been to 350 feet underwater on air. I'm a freediving instructor, a master scuba diving instructor, a technical diver, a parachutist, an explosives expert. I know fear. And fear still stopped me from starting my YouTube channel for ten years.

What finally worked wasn't ignoring fear or pushing through it. It was the opposite: turn toward it, get curious about it, and make it a game. This free guide is that game.

Inside:

• The four rules I use to get in front of the camera, with a short exercise for each one

• How to tell fear from shame. They are not the same thing, and they don't respond to the same treatment

• Quotes from Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Joe Hudson, and Joseph Campbell

It's free. Tell me where to send it.

Where should I send it?
