Icarus Laughed as He Fell with Special Guest Alexis Hughes

We’ve been taught that flying too close to the sun is foolish. That Icarus should’ve stayed low, played it safe, and feared the fall. But what if the risk was worth it? What if soaring toward greatness—toward the sun itself—is the whole point? In this episode, we reframe the myth of Icarus as a triumph, not a tragedy. We’ll explore how fear of failure, social conditioning, and survival thinking have kept us playing small—and how to break free. Because the truth is, it’s not the fall that defines you. It’s that you dared to fly.
