In this episode of 5 to 9, we talked to Michelle Poler, the creator of 100DaysWithoutFear.

Last year, she challenged herself to face 100 of her biggest fears and recorded the process through daily Youtube videos. After getting over 5M views on her YouTube channel, HelloFears, and overcoming her biggest fear, giving a TED talk, she now travels all over the world to speak about her changed perception of fear and inspire others to take action.

We discussed how she’s used to being a planner and always needed control, balancing work, grad school AND a 100 day project, how she found out that the opposite of fear is not fearlessness, how this project tapped into her inner qualities that she didnt know was there, and finding a higher meaning to your side projects.
