Pierce and Georgie do a deep dive into the nature of fearlessness, courage, bravery (and stupidity!). In the context of the acting profession, here are 3 steps to help you stride forward confidently and square up to those nagging voices in your head that hold you back. Acknowledge your fears! Then just do it anyway.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Recognise that you have to take action. No one else is going to do that hard inner work that has to be done. Self awareness is key.
Make sure you have your own back. The world is full of people who doubt you and reduce your confidence. Don’t add to this yourself. Understand that you can do this.
Become comfortable with being uncomfortable. Anything worthwhile doing is uncomfortable. Discomfort and worry are normal, so expect them. Anxiety and excitement are very similar emotions.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘What defines bravery versus stupidity? Taking a risk is still taking a risk regardless of whether it's brave or stupid. And usually people think it's stupid when it doesn’t pay off and brave when it does.’ – Georgie
‘Unless you hear those harsh truths it’s very difficult for you to actually build as a person and start moving forward with your life.’ - Pierce
‘There’s a big view out there that, especially with acting, it’s a risky thing to go into. You’re not going to have guaranteed work all of the time, but what’s guaranteed is that if you stick at it long enough, you will get work.’ – Georgie 
‘Being comfortable with being uncomfortable in no way means being comfortable with someone crossing your boundaries.’ – Georgie
‘Each one of those demons is part of every single human being. They all have a reason for being part of you. Like anxiety, it instils fear because otherwise back in caveman days we would have just started jumping off cliffs for no reason!’ - Pierce
