Episode Highlights:

[18:22] Embracing Fear and Taking One Step at a Time

Fear doesn't have to be something negative or uncomfortable. It can actually be a gift, signaling that we're pushing our boundaries and have the opportunity to become better. Whether it's starting a new challenge like training for an Ironman or facing life's obstacles, every moment of fear is now seen as an opportunity for growth. Embracing fear and taking it one step at a time has transformed my perspective.

[43:37] The BRAVE Framework

Adam's BRAVE framework is designed to help people become more courageous in facing their fears. It stands for:

• B - Believing in yourself. Having the knowledge that you can achieve your dreams and points of reference from past successes.

• R - Building a roadmap. Creating small, incremental goals and a plan to achieve your larger dreams, just like training for an Ironman by gradually increasing your distance by 5% each time.

• A - Taking action. Executing the plan you've created step-by-step while consistently putting in 80% effort.

• V - Maintaining vitality. Developing daily habits for your physical, mental, and emotional health so you have the energy needed to pursue your goals.

• E - Embracing fear. Continuing to challenge yourself by stepping into uncomfortable situations and reframing fear as an opportunity for growth and fulfillment.
