A short motivational monologue (Brian Johnson) arguing that fear and doubt should be embraced and used as fuel for growth. Johnson advocates radical acceptance of doubt, small progressive steps outside comfort zones (e.g., "4%"), and repeatedly facing feared tasks; he cites Conor McGregor as an example of someone who learned to love and master the feeling of fear.

Fear is fuel. So imagine if the doubt becomes the fuel for you to do the thing that you don't want to do. The radical acceptance of its presence, and then the excitement of, oh, my God, I think it's true that my infinite potential exists outside of my comfort zone. I don't need to go crazy, but can I go 4%? And then when the doubt arises, we stop telling ourselves something's wrong with us because of what happened at 10 years old. And then our parents did this and that bully did this to us, and, oh, my God, I hate myself. We want to embrace all the things that we're ashamed of, but then realize that this moment, your doubt, is literally the fuel for your growth. And rather than rejecting it, we say, bring it on. And then we go do the thing that we most fear over and over and over and over again. Then suddenly you're like, wait, I used to be afraid of that Conor McGregor. He fell in love with the feeling of fear. Before he fought, it was just this thing for him of he wanted to feel it. He wanted to master that feeling. Now I fight in Madison Square Garden is like, I love it. There's literally this exhilaration that we want to feel when we know we are doing what we're here to do.
