What is a Good Life? #183 - When Fear Becomes My Partner with Ralf Wetzel
About this episode
Mark McCartney discusses the relationship with fear with leadership scholar Ralf Wetzel.
In this episode of What is a Good Life , host Mark McCartney sits down with Ralf Wetzel - a leadership scholar who has taught at leading European business schools, and a clown and mask performer whose solo show Absolutely Reliable! has played the Edinburgh Fringe. This episode is built around one question: what does it mean to have a good relationship with fear? Ralf grew up under surveillance in communist East Germany, in a family where fear was something you lived with, not something you spoke about. He spent years trying to work through it - through therapy, yoga, and psychedelics, and eventually through improv and clown theatre. Along the way, we get into a teaching moment that tested everything he'd learned, and why a plastic clown nose turned out to teach him more about truth than theory ever did. This episode is for anyone who wants to reconsider their relationship with fear.
