THE HERO FORGE PODCAST – FEAR

Episode description
In this first podcast of 2018, Dan Edwardes (CEO Parkour Generations) and I mine down into our relationship with Fear. What is fear? Should we seek to become fearless or is there a way in which we can work with our fear to become better versions of ourselves?

Whether you are a first responder, a member of the military or law enforcement, an athlete or simply a human being trying to navigate the complexities of life, the chances are that fear is something you come up against on a regular basis. In this episode we look unflinchingly at what is too often a taboo subject – welcome to a whole new year!
