#8 - Fear: The Great Preserver, or the Great Destroyer? Part 1

"Fear plays an interesting role in our lives. How dare we let it motivate us? How dare we let it into our decision-making, into our livelihoods, into our relationships? It's funny isn't it, we take a day a year to dress up in costume and celebrate fear?" - Robert California from "The Office"

This time, we are joined by special guest Steph Shoell, creator of the excellent Notable Peeps and Utah Fan Club podcasts!

We recap the previous episode about technology and relationships, then Bryce shares the latest and most thrilling news from his life: his boring drive to Oregon, his nephews' love of Minecraft, and his dislodged molar crown. Paul admits he doesn't like scary movies, Steph recalls a brilliantly creepy prank her sister played on her, and then we dive into the role of fear in our lives: how it can protect us from the perceived threat of harm and disappointment, and how it can hold us back from bigger successes and happier lives. Paul relates how his friends give him bad information about his height, Steph points out how fears in dating can become self-fulfilling, and Paul and Bryce have an awkward moment about their secret real-life ages. Stay tuned for Part 2 next time!
