Hello dear readers. I had first called this post Fear and Permission, and it was going to be a personal story inspired by an article by Chris Guillebeau. Then about an hour ago, while re-reading his post, out of curiosity clicked on a link which brought up this video by Jonathan Fields. Chris and Jonathan were presenters at a TEDx Conference at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in April of this year. The only instruction that each of them received was to deliver a compelling 18-minute talk on the theme "fearless".
Jonathan was the first speaker and as he puts it, his job was to warm up the audience. Well he sure lit my fire, so without further ado, please enjoy this talk from Jonathan Fields on Turning Fear Into Fuel. Oh, and please, please, watch it right to the end:
