Eric Edmeades recounts how he unexpectedly agreed to give a presentation after being invited by a friend named Mike. He explores the emotion he and a friend Kirsty call 'scariosity' — a blend of fear and curiosity — and describes how, in that moment, his curiosity slightly outweighed his fear, prompting him to accept the invitation.

Chapters

A friend of mine asked me to do a presentation. And normally I'm telling you, it would be like this. You come to me, go, eric, would you do a presentation for me on Friday? And I'd be like, absolutely not. But for some reason this time, this guy Mike, he said, would you come and do this thing? And I was like, yeah, I will. And I was puzzled that my mouth said that. So one day I'm having a conversation with Kirsty and she goes, I have scariosity about that. And I'm like, what is scariosity? You know, just. Just to be clear, if you think about it, what is it? It's scariosity. It's fear and curiosity. And so in the way scariosity works is that it's like a graph. You've got this fear, this scared feeling coming up, and then you've got the curiosity feeling coming up. And that's what happened when Mike said, would you come do this talk? My. My. My curiosity, my passion, my. My desire just slightly stepped up ahead of the fear.
