Episode notes

This week I'm joined by Tony Blauer, founder and owner of Blauer Tactical and The Spear System. You may also know him from CrossFit Defense. He's got nearly 40 years of experience teaching people self-defense and how to overcome fear. We're talking specifically today about fear — what it is, how to get over it, and even how you can use fear to propel you forward in life. Tony shares several stories about the times and ways that he has overcome fear in his own life, and he's got proven ideas for ways you can face your fears in your training and your competitions. Enjoy the show!
