On today's episode Eric explores the pervasive nature of fear in business and personal life, particularly among contractors. Drawing inspiration from figures like Jocko Willink, Eric identifies common fears such as fear of judgment, fear of failure, and fear of success, emphasizing how these can prevent individuals from taking necessary risks or seeking help. Personal anecdotes illustrate how overcoming these fears, even when doing so "scared," can lead to significant growth and improved well-being. The conversation also touches on reframing failure as "data" for improvement and the importance of micro-wins and peer support in conquering inhibitions, ultimately encouraging listeners to confront their fears and "just go."
