Ep.1 "Why am I doing this?"

Omar Torres Season 1 Episode 1

This inaugural episode! Today's episode is a deeply personal and meta exploration of the psychology behind starting something new, battling fear and insecurity, and finding motivation. I use my own years-long journey to finally launch this podcast as a case study.

We talk the psychology of starting something new, the clever ways in which avoidance and fear show up, taking risks, and moving forward hand in hand with uncertainty. What is motivation? where does it come from and how can we activate it? 

Courage isn't about the absence of fear, but action in spite of it.
