The first and most important negotiation is the one with yourself.

0:05.0

Hey, everybody. Before we get into this episode, I just want to give you a little disclaimer.

0:09.8

This was a fascinating episode. Tony is an expert at managing fear and his advice is really practical.

0:16.8

And even for me who studies this type of stuff, I learned so much from this episode.

0:22.6

Now, Tony keeps it real. And so there is some colorful language in this episode. But like I told him, I want him to flow. I want to get the information from him and I want him to be himself.

0:34.6

And so the team is going to edit as much as we can. So if you're listening with children, it might not be the episode for you.

0:42.7

And if you are new to the podcast, just know this is us experimenting with something new.

This episode is longer and it is very raw, but still very practical because one of the biggest things that's going to hold you back

in these difficult conversations is your ability or inability to manage fear. And so Tony is an

expert in the field and he brings a really different lens because he's coming at it from self-defense.

And so the situations he's dealing with are very raw, really just raw humanity here.

1:28.5

episode. So I just want you all to have a very clear disclaimer before you go in. But I stand by

1:35.2

the content in this episode. I learned a lot and I'm hoping that you all can use the content

1:39.8

from this episode to overcome your fear so you can be more effective in whatever it is that you're

1:45.7

trying to do day to day. But of course, staying on brand, especially as it results to your
