Despite the Limits
My name is Scot Storey, and I created this podcast, “Despite the Limits” to provide short conversations aimed at helping leaders grow professionally and personally. As a lifelong student of human connection, leadership, and communication, I am passionate about shaping the growth and capabilities of leaders. My personal journey in leadership development has been shaped by a career of service in the US Army’s Special Operations Forces leading numerous teams from just a few operators to organizations several thousand people strong, with the Army’s Rangers, Green Berets and Civil Affairs units in some the world’s most remote and arduous conditions. I believe in the power of a good story to shape personal connections and help people reach their full potential. That is what this podcast is all about.
Let’s have a conversation!

Despite the Limits
Let's Talk about Fear!
I release the podcast on the last Friday of each month, which means this episode went public on Halloween. Since so much of the season seems to be centered on scary stories and creepy decorations in the neighborhoods it seemed like a good time to talk about fear.
Fear seems to be everywhere these days and it is an interesting paradox. Fear often keeps is from trying the very things we need to do to succeed which in turn guarantees our fears become reality.
However, we can reframe how we view the things that scare us and train our minds and bodies to react differently.
Early in the episode I talk about the 2013 movie, After Earth” and share a quote from the character played by Will Smith where he says fear is a choice. Here is a link to a YouTube clip with the scene.

I also talk about a Simon Sinek talk about being nervous versus being excited. If you want to hear his talk directly, here is a link to that YouTube clip.
