Key Quotes:
“Get familiar with that fear, conquer that one, go to the next level, and then it'll show up in a different way. And then kind of the same thing, the same process.”-Maxime
“You've got to at some point become what I call a connoisseur of fear. You've got to really begin understanding your fear. You've got to dive into it and feel it, and feel when it gets a grip on your body, because every time you are eating unconsciously, you're in the grip of fear.” -Gay Hendricks
