High-pressure moments sometimes reveal us at our strongest, sometimes at our most rattled. Whether it’s stepping onto a stage or stepping into a fire stunt, fear has a way of testing focus, preparation, and presence. Author, speaker, and former stuntman Brett Solomano sits down with Rob to unpack the surprising overlap between stunt performance and public speaking. With 15 years in film and TV as a stuntman, and a former Guinness World Record for a stunt he worked on, Brett shares how what appears dangerous is often the result of rehearsal, emotional awareness, and intentional control.
