“When anyone looks into their own fears, I’ll guarantee you that the majority of stress you fear as an individual the majority of it will be an egoic type of fear, like a sense of self, not wanting to fail or get embarrassed, we always pigeon hole it in a sense of danger or getting hurt. I surf big waves professionally and that’s still only 10-20% of the stress I deal with, that’s the interesting dynamic of fear”
My special guest is Mark Mathews. Mark is one of the best big wave surfers in the world and also a prominent key note speaker.
