At 42 years old.......I AM FINALLY NOT AFRAID. As a fun-loving guy.....I'm not afraid to have a 360° interactive photo of me taken in front of thousands of Sox fans....... As an auctioneer and the owner of Hail Hail Auctions ....I'm definitely not afraid to stand up on a stage and ask others for their money to further a community building organization's mission. As a mental health advocate and Co-Founder of the Walking Tall Movement, I'm certainly never afraid to tell my story of being in a mass shooting and the mental health journey that experience sent me on. Yesterday I went to my first Chicago White Sox game of the 2025 season. I saw this fun opportunity to make myself vulnerable by standing on a small platform while this camera swirled around me in front of thousands on the stadium concourse and as many in line waited for their own picture..... In the immediate moment, it was slightly uncomfortable.....here I am a 42 year old guy by himself getting this done.....waving a Sox logo on a stick. ?? What would the result be?! EMBARRASSING!!!! Until I saw this........ Wow.....I am so glad I did it....... If I chose to stay "safe" and worry about my ego and what some others may think of me.... I would not now have this awesome clip of a moment in time I'll never get back...... Plus I'm rocking a sick Friko t-shirt! So I ask you to tell me......what are you NOT afraid of......and what are you doing about it?! What's something you've recently been hesitant to do...yet did it anyway and were HAPPY?! Tell me in the comments! I'm excited to hear...... Here's to a better 2025 season for the White Sox! ?? #mentalhealth #baseball #afraid #chicago #trauma #walktall #game #picture #fun
