"That's when I decided to stop BASE-jumping" kNOw FEAR Episode 6 – The Fear of Performance

kNOw FEAR – Episode 6: Fear of the Performance Welcome to kNOw FEAR, the podcast that dives deep into the human experience of fear—and how to turn it into power. Hosted by legendary wingsuit pilot Jeb Corliss, filmmaker and former illusionist Iiro Seppänen, and performance expert Pete Pepe, this series explores the raw edge where fear meets action. In this episode, we take on stage fright—a fear so universal it touches musicians, magicians, CEOs, athletes, and anyone who has ever had to show up under pressure. From the bright lights of live music to the unpredictable world of illusions and the split-second decisions of high-stakes action sports, we share the moments that shook us—and the tools that helped us steady our hands. What happens when fear meets a live audience? What’s the cost of freezing when the world is watching? And how can you learn to perform not in the absence of fear, but through it? This is about more than getting over nerves. This is about performance under pressure, reclaiming your mind, and building confidence where others collapse. –––––– 00:00 Pete Intro 01:30 iiro talks about his stage fright 05:05 Jeb talks about the pressure of to perform under pressure. 08:50 The added pressure by the media 13:10 How little we knew 17:00 Last effort 19:00 Moment of decision 22:30 When Jeb decided to stop BASE-jumping 24:20 Acceptance of death 26:30 Hard opening 29:33 It changed me a person 35:00 Needles to say. 38:18 Point of no return 🎥 This episode is brought to you by 3x7x77, the movement for living fully in the present moment.
