"That's when I decided to stop BASE-jumping" kNOw FEAR Episode 6 – The Fear of Performance

kNOw FEAR – Episode 6: Fear of the Performance

Welcome to kNOw FEAR, the podcast that dives deep into the human experience of fear—and how to turn it into power. Hosted by legendary wingsuit pilot Jeb Corliss, filmmaker and former illusionist Iiro Seppänen, and performance expert Pete Pepe, this series explores the raw edge where fear meets action.

In this episode, we take on stage fright—a fear so universal it touches musicians, magicians, CEOs, athletes, and anyone who has ever had to show up under pressure.

From the bright lights of live music to the unpredictable world of illusions and the split-second decisions of high-stakes action sports, we share the moments that shook us—and the tools that helped us steady our hands. What happens when fear meets a live audience? What’s the cost of freezing when the world is watching? And how can you learn to perform not in the absence of fear, but through it?

This is about more than getting over nerves. This is about performance under pressure, reclaiming your mind, and building confidence where others collapse.
