About this episode

Michelle Khare discusses her journey as a YouTube creator and how she transformed anxiety into a superpower.

Michelle Khare is the Emmy-shortlisted creator behind the YouTube series "Challenge Accepted." We explore the seismic shift underway as the creator economy and Hollywood converge. She recreated one of Tom Cruise's most dangerous stunts, hanging off a C-130 mid-flight. We get into daring versus reckless, fear setting, and walking toward what scares you. Along the way, she reveals the simple test she runs before every insane risk. Michelle has arrived, and she's just getting started. Enjoy!
