What's Your Biggest Creative Fear?

Gifted Underachievers · Mar 26, 2026 · 10m

We all have fears. If you don’t, check to see if you might either be a sociopath or the poster child for the Dunning-Krueger effect.

In this brief segment, Pat and James explore their biggest fears and how they manage them.

The GU team found it interesting that each underachiever’s fears fit two broad categories:

* screwing up leading to retribution, and

* the fading of creative drive and skills

Questions for Listeners:

* What are your three biggest fears as a creative?

* Do you spend much time ruminating on them?

* If not, what’s your secret?
