In this episode, Max and Corey discuss the importance of gaining confidence and ignoring the chance of rejection. Corey speaks about the most significant challenges he faced along his career, such as reading a book for the first time at 27, barely passing high school, and learning the patience to be told "No." To Corey, there isn't a Fear of anything in general; there is a concentrated Fear of letting down those he has helped.
