Today's episode explores the types of fear all human beings experience. Dr. Karl Albrecht, a German entrepreneur and leading authority on cognitive styles, has broken these fears into five categories. We explore those categories, giving real life examples and strategies for conquering and working through those fears.

We have no affiliation with Dr. Albrecht and we want him to have the credit he deserves. If you would like to know more about Dr. Albrecht and his work here is his website. https://karlalbrecht.com/wordpress/about-karl/
