What does Forrest Griffin think of my definition of fear?
Hey gang — got a special treat for you this week.
It’s always interesting to read about my approach through the eyes, ears, and brains of another professional. Joe Zagami has written a couple pieces on me over the years, and he just put together a fantastic new article for SaltWrap — a company I trust and use for several key supplements in my routine.
What makes this one unique is how masterfully he blended some of my best fear management principles with a few of my favorite stories from the last few decades. There are some great reminders in here, a few killer quotes, and probably some stuff you’ve never seen before — because Joe and I went deep. We talked for hours to make sure this article had real weight behind it.
What’s also cool is that SaltWrap’s audience is made up of amateur and professional athletes from all over the world — so it’s written through that lens. If you’re a coach, a trainer, a martial artist, or someone who’s trying to lead better and live stronger, I think you’re gonna dig it.
After reading it, I sat there for a minute and smiled — not realizing it was about me. That’s how surreal it felt. It made me want to apply the lessons all over again.
Take 10 minutes and give it a read. You’ll be glad you did. Oh, re Forrest Griffin, there's a screen shot of one of his Tweets inside the article - ya, now you better go read it!

P.S. Have a fun and safe 4th of July!
