Part 9/13:
The Danger of the Fear of Failure
The conversation highlights how modern access to information has paradoxically increased the fear of failure. When, before the internet, people joined elite programs like Delta Force or the military blindly, with little to no expectation or knowledge of the challenges. That blindness fostered a mentality of just going for it; not knowing what to expect meant you were less afraid of failing. Now, knowing the potential difficulties or what others have experienced can create hesitation and fear, which may prevent qualified individuals from even attempting.
