421 — Fear Less, Do More: Lessons from Stunt Legend Eddie Braun
Legendary stuntman Eddie Braun joins the BS Free MD hosts to explore how fear, when understood and managed, becomes a tool rather than a roadblock. Eddie shares his journey from idolizing stunt icons like Evil Knievel to accomplishing what many thought impossible—the rocket jump across Idaho’s Snake River Canyon that Knievel himself failed to complete. The conversation centers on the distinction between reckless risk and calculated courage, emphasizing that achieving ambitious goals isn’t about ignoring fear but developing the skills to navigate it wisely. Drawing from a lifelong career in stunt work, film, and television, Eddie inspires listeners to stop letting fear dictate their choices and instead take thoughtful action toward their dreams.
