E146: Long vs Short Scouting Sessions and Risk Perception over Time with L5 Kayak Instructor Kirk Eddlemon
You know how when you delay delay delay a decision sometimes fear and anxiety creaps up and gets more obvious? It's like you're letting yourself notice the fear, but most of the time as soon as you notice it, you wish it away and try to snap immediately into action... in this case we're talking about scouting whitewater rapids, but it applies to making big investments, navigating controversial/difficult conversations with loved ones, the preparation for speaking or performing on a large stage. What goes on in the moments before you decide to do something? That's what this episode is about - risk perception over time and how to perform with your clearest head game and also take into consideration daylight, real consequences, and social stigma.
