Fear — What It Is (and What Actually Changes Behavior) with Dave Albin
Fear is often treated as something to overcome. What is it, really? In this episode, I talk with Dave Albin, who has spent decades guiding people through fire walks—an experience many describe as life-changing. We explore:
• What people experience as "fear" in high-stakes moments
• Why something like firewalking changes behavior
• How group dynamics, expectation, and interpretation shape outcomes
• What actually carries over—and what doesn't
This isn't about motivation.
It's about understanding what's happening beneath it.
Once you understand that, you can change it—without needing the fire.
