Feel the fear and do it anyway

Feel the fear and do it anyway. That's been my mantra since I first left my job as a banker to start my own business, and it's the whole reason I'm sitting down to record this one today, adrenaline and all.

This week I'm talking about fear — the kind that talks you out of a heavy squat session, the kind that stops a 46 year old touch rugby player from ever trying contact, and the kind I felt hanging off a bouldering wall on bank holiday Monday, absolutely certain I couldn't do the next hold.

I get into why I nearly skipped leg day, the message from a follower asking if she was too old to switch from touch to contact, my own story of nearly never playing rugby at all, and why doing one scary thing always seems to lead you looking for the next one.

If you're sat on the fence about something right now, whether that's your first contact session, your first competition, or just showing up when you don't feel ready, this one's for you.
