The first step in overcoming fear.

Recently, someone asked, ‘What is the first step in overcoming fear?’

I had taken a fear that once felt impossibly big, and instead of letting it own me for the rest of my life, I started to realize it didn’t have to. Fear shrinks when you face it.

- Me, on Quora, because we’re quoting ourselves now.

(Here’s the full answer that I wrote, on Quora.)

Filing a claim, having a hard conversation, or even walking up to a stranger: it looks impossible until you do it, then it’s just… A thing. That happened.

Like breakfast.

That’s exactly what happens with us, too.

We avoid telling our stories because it feels too risky, too vulnerable. But the moment we press record, something flips.

The fear shrinks, and the stories become the most powerful thing we have.

Here’s proof, from a company I worked with called ‘Gumroad’ — Sahil’s story is incredible, and it’ll inspire you: $1 Billion to Zero - The Story of Gumroad.

We shot this in a day, cut it in a week. Simple, human, no fluff—and it changed how their customers saw them.

If you’re sitting on a story that needs to be told, I’ve opened a few Story Sprint slots in the next week.

45 minutes with me, then a script treatment and visual pitch deck you can use immediately to create a similar story.

$500.

A story you could use on:

  • LinkedIn to stop the scroll and actually get comments.

  • A TEDx stage to hook an audience in the first 30 seconds.

  • In a podcast interview when the host asks, “So tell me about yourself.”

  • At an investor meeting where numbers matter, but story earns trust.

Every brand / person has a story people remember.

This is your chance to shape yours.
