Jamie Foxx’s interview with Tim Ferriss is Tim’s top rated episode for good reason. It has a great blend of entertainment value with live music, compelling storytelling, and deep wisdom.

When asked how he instills confidence in his kids he mentions something he says to them which is “what’s on the other side of fear?” Usually the answer is nothing. The fear itself is what’s scary.
