And I tell people, go talk to the grandparents, or go to senior center, and ask people their biggest regret in life. And it's not what they failed at, it's what they failed to try. So when you have those other fears, let the existential one hang over you, and say, you just gave up one of your 80,000 days. How many more are you gonna give up? Because every day, you waste on whatever it is you're doing, you're not working towards a future that you can enjoy. That's how I handle fear.
I'm not fearless.

All right, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais. And by trade in training, I am a sport and performance psychologist.
And I'm fortunate to work with some of the most extraordinary thinkers and doers across the planet.
I just gotta say, it's an amazing way to go through life, to learn from the best, and hopefully add to what they're trying to build and explore in their lives. And so with that blessing, that was the origins of this podcast, is to say, okay, let's talk to some of those extraordinaries, not my clients, but let's talk to some of those extraordinaries and share best practices. To really get underneath the surface and to pull back the curtain to explore how they've committed to mastering both their craft and their minds. Now, our minds are our greatest asset. And if you wanna learn more about how you can train your mind, there are many resources in the world, but this is just a quick little reminder here to check out the online psychological training course that we built where we have pulled together the best practices to meet that unique intersection of the psychology of high performance and the psychology of wellbeing.
We walk through 16 essential principles and skills for you to train your mind in the same way that we train world-class athletes. You can find all of this at findingmastery.net forward slash course.
Finding Mastery is brought to you by Bubbs Naturals. Like many of you, I'm mindful about what I put in my body. For me, it usually comes down to ingredients and simplicity. The shorter the list, the better. And if I have to look it up, I'm usually out. That's why I've been loving Bubbs Naturals. Bubbs creates products with high quality, all natural ingredients designed to help people get after their adventures in life. I've been a huge fan of their hydrate or dye electrolyte mix for years now. It only has six total ingredients, but it's packed with five times the electrolytes as conventional sports drinks with none of the added sugars, artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. It's great for post-workout recovery, outdoor adventures, and staying hydrated during long periods of travel, which I've done a lot of lately, and Bubbs is a go-to for me. Plus, all Bubbs products are 100% NSF for sport certified, which means they pass the most rigorous quality standards. They're currently in just about every MLB locker room, working closely with the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and more, of course. I'd love for you to go and check them out.
