In this Halloween-themed episode, Marissa and Ken explore the four fears that might be quietly undermining your success. They discuss why fear is normal (and designed to keep us safe), but also how it can lead to inaction if left unchecked. They break down why these four fears are so pervasive—and what you can do to overcome them.
Fear of Failure: If we’re scared to fail, we’ll be scared to try. Normalizing failure can be the key to progress.Fear of Letting People Down: Overcommitting can lead to burnout. Setting healthy boundaries starts with self-awareness.Fear of the Unknown: It’s natural to crave control, but true growth happens when you embrace uncertainty and focus on what you can control.Fear of Success: Success can be intimidating if you believe it will change how others see you. Define success on your own terms to stay grounded.

To manage the end-of-year chaos, they explore how to move from burnout to balance, embrace "good enough" over perfection, and end the drift so you can design your days with intention.
Battling Burnout. You have permission to slow down. (It’s what Mother Nature is telling us to do.) “Good Enough” is Good Enough. Don’t make it perfect. Make it done.Design, or You’ll Drift. If you don’t take control of your time, it will disappear. Now more than ever, you need to be intentional with your calendar.

Ken and Nick get existential on an episode that was supposed to be about lighthearted "Productivity Pranks". While they do talk about the "pranks" of working longer hours and perpetual planning, Ken and Nick also stumble into a discussion about the concept of "enough" and their discomfort with stillness. Along the way, they invite listeners to simply start that one project they've been procrastinating on and they share some of the anxieties that they care around with them.
