Jessica geisler wants to know, is there a biological advantage to ametaphobia? I haven't been able to shake it my entire life. But le, i'm not not even a real push up. So keep trying to recruit me anim like you guys, not now. It's not, i'm going to be in my peake form two, three years from now. Ask me again, paint me then. Gi, but we so we can use them though, maybe to to look at trends, or to look at models, and then apply that an once we've refined them, into into the greater population.

FEAR. Anxiety. Stress. Dread. It's all the same dang thing, as it turns out. Biologist and fear expert Mary Poffenroth is back to answer your questions in Part 2 of the encore presentation that's been one of the most helpful interviews of ol' Alie Ward's life. Learn how super successful people approach fear, Mary’s scariest hour, plus answers to all of your questions about night terrors, self-spookery, sharks' bad PR image to how likely it is that a snake will bite your butt. Plus: the best thing about following your passions in life. If this episode helped you at all, consider telling friends about it so we can all get over being chicken sh*ts and, as Mary would say "die with great stories."
