A short conversational clip from Joe Polish (with another speaker) emphasizing that unaddressed fears control you, while confronting fears enables control, growth, and gratification. The speakers cite a Wayne Gretzky quote (“you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”) and describe how facing fears leads to sweeter victories and increased confidence.

Early on in my life, I heard this saying that whatever you fear and don't face controls you. Whatever you fear and you face, you can either control it or at least take steps to get better at it. Because sometimes it will take. You know, some things are just not easy. Some things take a long time. But the biggest thing is, you know, it's a Wayne Gretzky quote. You know, you miss 100% of the.
Shots you don't take. And once you do it, too, ask anyone who's really faced a fear head on. The gratification afterwards, like, you just the win and the victory is so much sweeter because you were so afraid, but you did it anyways. And then it's like, wow, okay. And then it propels you to feel like you can do anything. So it's those little steps.
