Rick Bisson Podcast

Our Deepest Fear Isn’t Failure… It’s THIS

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0500

In this raw and timely episode, Rick and Benjamin dive into a collection of powerful "mic drop" quotes and ideas that have struck them deeply over recent months. Drawing from thinkers like Arthur Brooks, Andrew Huberman, Rick Rubin, Marianne Williamson, Alan Watts, and others, they explore finding meaning through contemplation (not optimization), transforming pain and setbacks into growth, embracing hardship as the path to purpose, shifting perspective on challenges ("How could this be the best thing that ever happened to me?"), the power of loving firmness over harshness, living in the present, protecting your peace, and the courage to shine without fear. Interwoven with personal stories—from surfing rips and family life to athletic perseverance and faith—they reflect on how these truths are reshaping their daily lives. Perfect for anyone navigating life's waves and seeking deeper peace, resilience, and presence.

Meaning through silence, reflection, and the three big questions (coherence, purpose, significance) – not productivity or distractions.

Mastering emotions: Turning pain, setbacks, and even successes into fuel for growth and positive impact (Andrew Huberman, Arthur Brooks).

Hardship as the true source of meaning and self-discovery – avoiding pain weakens our capacity for a meaningful life.

Perspective shifts: Asking "How could this difficult thing be the best thing that ever happened to me?" (Graham Weaver / Zen and the Art of Happiness).

Discipline as clear identity over negotiating with feelings; loving firmness over harshness in relationships (with self, kids, spouse) (Terry Real).

Presence and process over outcomes: Devotion to the craft itself (Rick Rubin via Huberman); blending work/play/life seamlessly (L.P. Jacks).

Our deepest fear is not inadequacy, but our own power and light – shining liberates others (Marianne Williamson, from A Return to Love, famously misattributed to Nelson Mandela in Coach Carter).

Protecting peace: Tolerating less chaos, choosing silence over proving points (Alan Watts).
Living every day fully, not just existing – what makes you feel truly alive? (Snoopy via a cycling creator).

Childlike wonder, unlearning fear, returning to love as our essential nature.
Modeling virtue through actions, not words – especially for kids (Arthur Brooks).

Faith, prayer, and surrender to a higher power as sources of profound peace (Andrew Huberman's personal reflection).

Bonus: The five-finger reminder from Jimmy Gentry (via Amy Grant):
1. How can I help you?
2. I'm proud of you.
3. I love you.
4. Thank you (Gratitude).
5. "We" - Teamwork.

US Olympian Sam Morse: Downhill at 90+ MPH – Representing Maine at Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 13:00:00 -0500

Maine’s own Sam Morse joins Rick Bisson from Bormio, Italy, during the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics for an exclusive, heartfelt conversation.
U.S. Ski Team downhill and Super-G skier Sam Morse shares his improbable journey to becoming a first-time Olympian. Despite starting the season ranked in the early 50s, he delivered when it mattered most—a clutch top-15 Super-G in Wengen, Switzerland, secured his spot as one of just six U.S. men’s Alpine athletes.

In this episode, Sam opens up about:

The wave of relief and emotion when his coach delivered the news: “Welcome to the Olympic team”
The surreal Team USA welcome experience in Milan, complete with surprise cheers from staff
Racing the legendary Stelvio course in Bormio: long, bumpy, terrain-demanding, with sections over 90 mph
The brutal rollercoaster of ski racing—“the best casino ever”—that humbles even the best
Recovering from a painful knee cartilage injury through a 270-mile, 70,000-ft hike on Vermont’s Long Trail
Balancing elite World Cup racing, Dartmouth mechanical engineering studies, marriage to Mackenzie, faith, and founding FAST Camp for young skiers
Why the Olympics feel different: a global stage for family and friends who rarely get to watch him race

A grounded, joyful athlete representing Maine, Carrabassett Valley, Sugarloaf, and Team USA, Sam is set to make his Olympic debut in the Men’s Downhill (first medal event of the Games) and Super-G.

#31: Not Dead Yet — Rick's Miraculous Near Death Experience told by his Rescuers Natasha Dionne & Benjamin Bisson

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0400

NOT DEAD YET
.
“Nine years ago I was given a second chance at life, the gift of one more breath, one more moment to love everyone and embrace the moment. So far that equals a second chance at 3,285 days, 78,840 hours, 4,730,400 seconds. And at a rate of about 22,000 breaths a day the math equates to 72,270,000 bonus breaths. Life is precious. Live in the moment. Be grateful for every day, every hour, every second, every breath is a gift. In every moment seize the opportunity to love everyone always.

Live today as if it were your last. Tomorrow is not promised.” — Rick Bisson
.
