Ahmad Jooma and I were doing this podcast together back in the days when it was called The Authentic Dating. Since he stepped away he went on to explore the concept of fear and how we interact with fear. The concept that he came up with is a character called Shook Man. It's a name and a face behind that little voice in our head that tells us what we can and can't do, telling us a million different things that are going to go wrong.
