11/11/22 • 22 min
In our previous episode, Joe and Brett talked about how seeing through limiting beliefs can be scary because we're not sure we'll be safe. This is an especially relevant concern in the realm of high-risk activities like skydiving and BASE Jumping. In today's episode, we explore how Brett's relationship with the idea of safety has changed over the course of a decades-long career in adventure sports.
They discuss:
1:54 - What is safety?
5:32 - Safety as an idea can bring us comfort or distress
9:20 - The concept of safety as detachment or contact with reality
11:17 - Business and safety
13:23 - Grounded and ungrounded excitement
14:26 - Applying lessons from safety in airsports to business life
16:48 - Internal stability and flow

How to See Through Limiting Beliefs
Revisiting the topic of limiting beliefs, Joe and Brett explore what prevents us from seeing them, what keeps them stuck, and how to see through and integrate these beliefs in a way that enables a more free and easeful existence.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The logical fallacies, ignorance, and avoided consequences that make us not see many of our hidden beliefs
- How we can see a belief and still be limited by it
- Exploring the “latticework” of beliefs that hold structures of identity in place.
- Three core beliefs that commonly underlie others, and how to find evidence that loosens them.
- What we can do once we see our beliefs and how we can use awareness and inquiry to easily integrate them.

Decisions are emotionally-driven, and we navigate them based on how we think we’ll feel when an outcome arrives. When we’re willing to feel any emotion, our decision-making becomes clear.
Tune in to see how becoming more aware of our emotions and using guiding principles can help us quickly identify the next obvious step in any decision-making process.
