Anne Marie Anderson Talks About Cultivating Audacity and Navigating Fear

May 14, 2025 · 31:29

This episode features a truly audacious guest—Anne Marie Anderson. A three-time Emmy award-winning broadcaster and the author of Cultivating Audacity, Anne Marie has spent her career on the sidelines of high-stakes sporting events and inside boardrooms, observing what sets bold, high performers apart.

But this isn’t just about elite athletes or executive culture. It’s about how you can embrace everyday audacity—bit by bit. We explore how to take micro-risks, manage fear without eliminating it, and adopt boldness as a way of being, not a one-time event.

Six Discussion Points

Why audacity is less about bold moves and more about micro-risks
How to separate urgency from importance—and why that distinction matters
Why fear should be navigated, not conquered
How Anne Marie wrote her book in 15-minute blocks and why that method worked for her
What it means to set boundaries with intention rather than default
How to audit your time and reclaim it in meaningful, energizing ways

Three Connection Points

This was a conversation that moved far beyond productivity tips and into what it really means to live intentionally, audaciously, and sustainably. Anne Marie brought both depth and practical wisdom—and I hope you walk away from this one ready to take that next bold step, no matter how small it may be.
