If you’re ready to break free from fear and unlock your creative potential, you’re in the right place. Recently, I hosted an epic 5.5-hour live event that brought together some of the brightest minds in creativity, innovation, and personal growth. If you couldn’t join us live, don’t worry—you can still catch the entire event right here. Inside the 5.5 Hour Experience One of the core themes of the event was how fear often holds us back. We explored the idea that “avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.” In other words, playing it safe might just be the riskiest thing we do. I dove deep into how we can stop letting fear dictate our decisions and shared strategies to help you push past that resistance to achieve your best work. But it didn’t stop there. We were also joined by a series of amazing guests including Gary Vaynerchuck, Austin Kleon, Jasmine Star, Adrian Grenier, IN-Q, Stephan Moccio…and Seth Godin joined us LIVE to kick it all off.

As Seth shared, embracing uncertainty...
