Fear is a natural, powerful emotion that is part of the human experience. Instead of fear paralyzing us, let's change our perspective.

My guest on this podcast shares a powerful reframe on fear: Use fear as a motivator. Educate yourself on the fear and move forward.

Justin Matejcek is an avid outdoorsman and extreme athlete. He has over 200 BASE jumps, has run multiple ultramarathons, routinely leads mountaineering expeditions, and has summited many notable peaks, including Mt. Denali.

He served in the military with multiple overseas deployments and is passionate about serving others. Justin founded the nonprofit Veterans Adventure Group which trains Veterans in numerous extreme sports.

In this episode, Justin and I chat about several of his adventures, including an unbelievable experience summiting Mt. Denali.

More than that, Justin shares inspiring takeaways, including:

  1. Rather than focus on success, strive for earned failure
  2. Push beyond your perceived limits
  3. Why getting out of your comfort zone is so important
  4. How to grow through fear
  5. What makes a great leader
