55. Active Volcano Walker Shares How to Conquer Your Fears | Nik Wallenda

Nik Wallenda, who's part of the legendary Flying Wallendas
family, has walked over ropes across some of the craziest places
you can imagine, such as the Niagra Falls, Time Square, and most
recently, an active volcano in Nicaragua - all without a safety
net. He has broken 11 Guiness World Records for various acrobatic
feats, and is on his way to break more.


However, his journey has not been easy. Events like 2017, where a
horrific accident has led his sister to fall during rehearsals
led to breaking nearly every bone on her face. Several members of
the Wallenda family have also fell and died, as the stunts happen
without any safety net.


In our conversation, Nik shares:


How he's been able to overcome his fears knowing he could die
at any moment

The difference between healthy and unhealthy fear (and why
NOT feeling fear is dangerous)

What his self-talk sounds like while he's on the tightrope
(on top of an active volcano)

How he prepares (or rather over-prepares) for every single
event 

What Karl Wallenda, his great grand-father (and founder of
the Wallenda family) taught them

How he continues to improve himself when he's the #1 in his
industry
