Summary
Do you find yourself constantly held back by the fear of rejection or failure? It's a feeling that's all too familiar for many of us. The reality is that fear of rejection is absolutely pervasive in our culture, and it's something that can be incredibly difficult to overcome.
But what if there was a way to turn rejection into a tool for personal growth and success? What if, instead of trying and failing to avoid rejection, we leaned into it?
In this podcast, we explore:
- How to turn rejection into a tool for personal growth and success.
- Overcoming the fear of rejection and achieving success through "rejection therapy."
- Building resiliency, adaptability, and grit by embracing vulnerability and facing fears head-on.
- And much more…
Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | What's up y'all? It's Chase. Raise your hand if you have ever had fear of failure or fear of rejection. |
| 0:12.0 | What I'm envisioning right now in my head is like 100,000 people all over the world raising their hand. |
| 0:17.1 | Someone's driving, other people sitting on a park bench, jogging down the jogging trail, |
| 0:24.8 | you know, lying in bed next to their partner and they just put their hand in the air because the reality is we've all faced this, right? Fear of rejection, fear of failure. |
| 0:30.4 | It's huge. It's everywhere. It is absolutely pervasive in our culture. Now, we can go into the causes and the why behind it, or what may be more helpful is to understand it and then look at how we might get better at managing it. |
| 0:50.7 | If it's something that everyone has, we don't need to do a complete study of, let's just |
| 0:55.8 | get better at managing our fear response to anything. |
| 1:01.6 | The first time we do anything, right, it's almost always hard. |
| 1:05.5 | I mean, there are the occasional, hey, you go play darts, you grab a dart, you throw it, |

| 1:16.5 | The first time we do something, we do anything, it's hard. |
| 1:20.3 | The reality is the first time we probably screw it up. |
| 1:23.1 | We make lots of mistakes. |
| 1:24.7 | We might look funny doing it. |
| 1:27.3 | Boy, that's actually a blessing, because let's do |
| 1:30.1 | the opposite, let's consider the opposite that you hit that bull's eye, or you strap those skis |
| 1:34.4 | to your feet and you go swishing down the ski slope perfectly. Let's say you don't embarrass yourself. |
| 1:40.2 | Let's say it's not hard for you and you strike gold. Well, if my experience is anything, |
| 1:46.5 | or if the Silicon Valley experience has taught us nothing, it's that our inexperience with success |
