The Psychology of Fear Nobody Talks About! with Justin Wenzel

In this episode of Sober CEOs, Justin Wenzel sits with Tony Blauer, the creator of the SPEAR System and founder of KNOW FEAR. Tony tells the story of how a 15-year-old kid in 1975, obsessed with Bruce Lee and intent on becoming a martial artist, built a lifelong career in self-defense, fear management, and human performance. By 17 he was teaching. By 19 he was full time. And by 1993, at the peak of running a successful martial arts school, he made the difficult decision to shut it all down so he could take his system on the road and reach the world. Justin and Tony dig into the psychology of fear, why most people misunderstand it, and how fear becomes the hidden force behind doubt, hesitation, procrastination, and self-sabotage. Tony explains his idea of false expectations appearing real, the difference between biological fear and psychological fear, and why fear spikes the same way whether you are a special operations operator, an entrepreneur, or a parent trying to make a major life decision. He shares how losing a 12 million dollar company overnight reshaped his understanding of fear, PTSD, and resilience, and how he rebuilt his relationship with risk and courage. This conversation breaks open anxiety, obsession, discipline, and the uncomfortable truth that you cannot be brave without being afraid. If you are stuck, overwhelmed, paralyzed by what comes next, or trying to build something bigger than yourself, this episode will give you clarity, language, and a practical way to look at fear so you can finally move.
