Is fear running your company... or are you?

From bad hires to business blowups, fear has a way of sneaking into your strategy, even when you think you’ve got it all under control.

In this episode of The Business Fix, Chrissy and Josh unpack the often-ignored ways fear influences your decision-making, disrupts team dynamics, and chips away at your leadership mindset.

Chrissy shares how the fear of hiring mistakes leads to reactive decisions and cultural chaos, while Josh digs into how uncertainty in business creates anxiety loops that kill momentum. They explore how fear of failure (and the lesser-talked-about fear of success) sabotage good leaders by making them second-guess what they already know. Spoiler alert: growth doesn’t come from staying safe.

They also get real about how emotional intelligence helps leaders recognize when fear (not logic) is driving decisions, and why professional development is critical to keeping middle managers growing instead of stalling. You'll hear the difference between healthy fear that encourages planning and paralyzing fear that creates stuck teams, how to break free from fear-based leadership, and what it takes to build a resilient team rooted in strong business culture. Chrissy and Josh offer clear strategies for managing fear, and show what real resilience in business looks like when things go off script.

If your goal is to boost team dynamics, improve decision-making, or level up your leadership mindset, consider this your reminder: fear may be part of the journey, but it shouldn’t be in the driver’s seat.
