In today's episode, Matt and Garrett welcome the new year by sharing their excitement to have participated with some amazing real estate agents in the Annual Winter Soldier event put up by the Group Inc. in Fort Collins. What made this event exceptional was the board-breaking activity where you write your fear on the board and literally break through that fear. Garrett talks about the emotion and energy at the event of people sobbing when someone broke the board, as well as the questions regarding your fears that form part of the lead up to the breaking.
Matt kicks off the discussion by sharing a story about a lady who did not want to let go of her fear because it provided her with special things in her life. Garrett then explores the fact that fear gives value, and, together, our hosts talk about overanalyzing and exploring your fears. They share why it is important to acknowledge the things you have gotten from your fear and how that is a step taken in the direction of accepting a high level of self-responsibility. Matt highlights the value of transforming fear into an asset, the importance of writing down that fear, and how to drive a company to success. The hosts finish up by discussing the best and worst things that can come out of facing your fear, as well as testing your limits and moving past them.

Quotes
"You get your transformation when you need it."
"If you can acknowledge the things that you've gotten from your fear, you have taken a step in the direction of really accepting a high level of self-responsibility."
"Embracing what that fear is allows you to look at it from a different angle, rather than just be scared of it, to understand that it is providing me a different level of value or way to look at the situation that's in front of me."
"I have stopped myself from doing things in my life by holding on to a certain fear so heavily, trying to protect myself from not turning into somebody or not seeing that result happen."
"First, take a look at the energy of the company, take a look at the energy that you're putting into your organization, the energy that you're receiving from your organization, and then ask yourself, 'How can we change that energy for the better?'"
"The smaller person knows in their heart that they can't break through the board with their physical strength. They have to be focused, they have to participate in all the visualizations, they need to put themselves into that area if they're going to have any success in this at all."
"It's not about the size of you or anything like that. It's about the energy you put into it."
"The mindset is very important, necessary even, to accomplishing big things. But then you have to follow up on that with the action of that new belief system."
"What I have found myself doing is, when that opportunity comes up, my brain says, 'This is one of those moments that correlates with what you wrote on the board. And what are the different ways we can handle this that's been put in front of you."
"What I've been noticing with myself, especially going through business planning and goal setting right now, because that's where my fear comes from and spurs from, I've been overanalyzing and saying, 'I have two paths I can take here, I can go this route, which takes me and keeps me safe. Or I can take this route, which addresses the fear that's there.'"
"What's the best thing that can come out of facing your fear and moving past it, and what's the worst thing? And the worst thing is usually so temporary."
