We chat about releasing something new to the world, the discipline you need in creative careeers, and why our dark and scary sides need to be set free.

Enjoy.

Welcome leading fear expert, Kristen Ulmer, to the show. She wrote The Art of Fear, and in a former life spent 12 years as the top ranked big mountain, extreme skier. She has spent the better part of 4 decades understanding our primal and ancient emotion - Fear: where it comes from, how it flows through our bodies, and what happens when we ignore it or push it away. Great stuff!
