BUCKiT® #75-Shed Your Inhibitions: A Sex Symbol, Pro Cyclist and Variety Show Producers on Why Letting Loose is the Key to Success

BUCKiT with Phil Keoghan

Happy Holidays from all of us here at the BUCKiT with Phil Keoghan podcast. Thanksgiving is a great time of the year to slow down and to really appreciate the good things that life has to offer. It’s so easy to get caught up in the fast lane and forget to look around and be thankful for what we have right here, right now.

While practicing being grateful, why not shed some of your inhibitions. Just let loose, even if a little, and break down some of those barriers that might be holding you back.

This week’s podcast, which is about shedding your inhibitions, will be the last of the year as we are traveling the country looking for hardworking Americans, for a new CBS show called Tough As Nails. We’ll be back in 2020, but before we go, I wanted to sign off with one of my favorite steps for living the BUCKiT® lifestyle, with some really creative and fun guests.

The BUCKiT® lifestyle is about learning how to live life to the fullest while you still can. It’s about saying “BUCKiT” and swerving off the predictable road you’ve been following for years – on to a completely strange and bumpy path that will hopefully get you completely lost.

There are 8 steps to living a BUCKiT® lifestyle. The 8 steps:

• Face Your Fear
• Test Your Limits
• Take a Leap of Faith
• Aim for the Heart
• Rediscover Your Childhood
• Break New Ground
• Get Lost

And…

• Shed Your Inhibitions.

I realize that shedding your inhibitions isn’t always as easy as peeling off an extra layer of clothing on a warm day. But in a funny way, that analogy of shedding clothes is an apt one – because ultimately, in both cases, exposure is the desired result. And whether you’re exposing your body, your true feelings, or your talent, the risk is the same: the possibility of embarrassment and the chance that someone with disapprove. The trick is to come to understand that those are rather small, inconsequential risks. The embarrassment many not happen at all, and if it does, it will probably be only momentarily. It’s certainly a chance worth taking.

This week on BUCKiT® with Phil Keoghan, I talk to the lead singer of Sugar Ray, Mark McGrath, a former professional cyclist, Kit Karzen, who suffered from anxiety, and the youngest Show Runner in the history of late-night television, Ben Winston and former Supervising Producer on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, Rob Crabbe about the importance of ditching excuses and shedding inhibitions in order to live the BUCKiT lifestyle.

Enjoy and we will see you in the New Year.
