What Fear Teaches You About Living |Guest: Dan Schlund

from Born without a choice · host Victory Igberase

What if fear isn’t the thing holding you back—but the thing trying to prepare you for what’s next?In this incredible episode, Dan Schlund shares a story that sounds like something straight out of a movie. Known as one of the last professional Rocketbelt pilots in the world, Dan spent a decade flying jetpacks across 26 countries and six continents, performing in front of audiences while embracing risks most people would never dare take.But behind the extraordinary adventures were devastating setbacks—serious injuries, skin graft surgeries, a broken neck, and the difficult journey of rebuilding confidence after a life-changing crash.Dan opens up about resilience, recovery, calculated risk, and the lessons he learned when the career he loved was suddenly threatened. He also shares how he reinvented himself, transitioning from Rocketman to entrepreneur and founder of a multimillion-dollar company serving the film and television industry.This conversation is about far more than jetpacks. It’s about fear, courage, identity, and discovering that extraordinary lives are not built by fearless people—they’re built by prepared people who keep moving forward.If you’ve ever faced a setback, questioned your path, or wondered how to begin again after life knocks you down, this episode is for you.⸻Guest Contact DetailsDan SchlundAuthor | Speaker | Paramedic | Entrepreneur | “The Last Rocketman”🌐 Website: The Last Rocketman📖 Book & Documentary: The Last Rocketman🏢 Founder: National Set MedicsKey Message:“Courage is a skill, not a personality.
