#123: Eddie Braun on Conquering Fear and Taking Action

Get ready to hear from legendary stuntman Eddie Braun as he shares his thoughts on safety in an epic interview. Host Tim can't help but admire Eddie's life as an example of how "fear is no excuse." Eddie himself knows the difference between reckless behavior and calculated risk. He believes that achieving great things is less about taking risks and more about having the skills to manage fear. Many people are unable to pursue their dreams because they are too busy living in fear. Eddie is not just a stuntman, but also a stunt actor and coordinator who was inspired by his childhood hero, the famous Evil Knievel. He achieved his dream by completing Knievel's failed attempt to jump across Idaho's Snake River Canyon in a rocket in 2016, making him the only person ever to do so. You can watch the documentary of his signature stunt, "Stuntman," on Disney Plus. Eddie has an impressive career spanning from the 80s until now, with numerous action credits to his name. He has appeared in TV shows like "Dukes of Hazzard," "The Fall Guy," and "Magnum P.I.," as well as in movies such as "The Avengers," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "Moneyball," and "Rush Hour 2." Eddie has also doubled for actors like Charlie Sheen, Lee Majors, and Chuck Norris.
