Episode 044 : All Fears Are Not Equal

Creative Confidential with Bryan Tuk

There is one truth I’ve learned in almost 20 years of representing small business owners. The greatest obstacle to progress in starting a creative project or business venture is the fear of failure, or the fear of non-acceptance by one’s peers. There’s fear, and then there’s fear. The former is healthy, the latter is the kind that keeps you up at night, and plagues you into paralysis when you feel isolated. Here’s another truth: all fears are not equal. In this mini-episode, I’m joined by psychologist Robert Gordon, Ph.D. We’ll talk about the difference between rational and irrational fears, what fear really represents and how it can be defeated. Keep building the future, it’s closer than you think.
