Episode Transcript
Hey, everyone, Zaiden Cruz here your daily dose of alpha mind,
and let's talk about something we all grapple with. Fear.
Not the spooky kind under your bed, but that creeping,
uncomfortable feeling when you think about taking a risk. Ever
felt like that voice in your head is saying, don't
even try it, or what if you fail? Trust me,
I get it. We've all been there. But here's the thing.
(00:22):
Fear of failure can be a real roadblock to living
a fulfilling life. It keeps us stuck in our comfort zones,
prevents us from chasing our dreams, and honestly just makes
life a little less exciting. Right today, we're diving deep
into overcoming that fear and embracing those risks because guess what,
failing forward is the only way to truly succeed. Okay,
(00:43):
so let's break this down. First off, understand that failure
isn't the opposite of success. It's a stepping stone towards it.
Think about all your favorite innovators, athletes, entrepreneurs. They didn't
get there by being fearless. They got there by embracing
those setbacks and using them as fuel to learn and row.
Number two, reframe your perspective on failure. Instead of seeing
(01:04):
it as a personal defeat, view it as valuable feedback.
It's telling you something. Maybe you need to adjust your approach,
maybe you need to gather more information, or maybe it's
just not the right time for that particular venture. Either way,
use it as an opportunity to learn and refine your strategy. Thirdly,
remember that everyone experiences fear. It's a universal human emotion.
(01:26):
But the difference between those who succeed and those who
don't is how they handle it. So next time fear
tries to creep in, acknowledge it, but don't let it
control you. Take a deep breath, remind yourself of your goals,
and take that calculated risk anyway. Fourthly, surround yourself with
supportive people. Having a strong network of friends, family, or
mentors who believe in you can make all the difference.
(01:49):
They'll be your cheerleaders, your sounding boards, and they'll help
you stay motivated when things get tough. Remember you don't
have to go through this alone. And finally, celebrate your
small victories. Every step forward, no matter how small, is
a win worth celebrating. It builds confidence, keeps you moving
in the right direction, and reminds you that progress takes time,
(02:10):
so pat yourself on the back for every milestone reached
and keep pushing towards those bigger goals. Now, let me
paint you a picture. Imagine you've always dreamt of starting
your own business, but fear has kept you from taking
the plunge. You're worried about what people will say about
putting all your eggs in one basket and about the
possibility of failing. That voice in your head is screaming,
(02:31):
don't do it. But then you remember those five key
takeaways we just discussed. You realize that failure isn't the end.
It's a learning opportunity. You start visualizing success, focusing on
the positive impact your business could have, and surround yourself
with supportive friends who encourage your entrepreneurial spirit. You take
that first step, maybe by researching different business models or
(02:53):
attending networking events, and guess what, that small step builds momentum.
You gain confidence, learn value lessons along the way, and
eventually you launch your dream business. See taking risks isn't
about ignoring fear. It's about acknowledging it, learning from it,
and choosing to move forward anyway. It's about having the
courage to chase what truly matters to you even when
(03:15):
things get tough. So are you ready to step outside
of your comfort zone and embrace those risks. I know
you can do it. Remember every successful person started somewhere
facing their own fears head on and guess what, you
have that same potential within you. Go out there and
make something amazing happen. Don't forget to share this episode
with a friend who might need a little extra motivation
(03:37):
today and leave us a review if you enjoyed it.
Until tomorrow, keep your mind sharp, your spirits high, and
remember you are capable of anything you set your mind to.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
