I Unlocked My Intuition by Confronting My Fear
Meet
Evan O'Donnell an early-stage investor + co-founder of the VC firm, Timespan.
Evan shares his powerful journey of overcoming the deep-seated fears instilled from growing up closeted as a gay man, striving for perfection to avoid the perceived catastrophe of being outed. Through self-work, Evan shed the limiting armor he had built up and transformed his heightened perception from a self-protective mechanism into a "superpower" for intuition, creativity, and problem-solving.
By continuously confronting his fears, he has found a way to unlock new possibilities for personal growth and professional success.
Host
Angie D'sa, Talentism coach + partner, highlights how fear so often limits leaders' ability to learn and unleash their unique potential. In conversation with Evan, Angie learns:
- How pursuing entrepreneurship felt scary -> "it's the purest form of self-actualization”
- How his armor still showed up at work, even after he came out
- How he methodically grapples with fear when it shows up at work
- How this deepens trust with his co-founder and they make better decisions as a result
- How his “super perception” drives faster feedback loops and better business outcomes
