Most of us treat fear like truth. Timmy O’Neill thinks that’s a mistake.

Timmy is a climber, comedian, and longtime Yosemite fixture—but this conversation isn’t about climbing. It’s about how to relate to risk without letting fear make your decisions, and why curiosity is often the better compass.

Then keep your bullets, but tighten them like this:

  •  Why fear is often misleading 
  •  How humor changes risk 
  •  What adaptive climbers taught him 
  •  “Lifewish”: choosing a life worth living 
  •  Why bringing others along matters

Timmy's sponsors are Patagonia, Osprey Packs, and Clif Bar.
