In this shorty, I explain to Nir how I realized at a young age, I was a scaredy-cat and how I ran from conflict. My guest, Nir Maman, a 47 year old soldier in the Israel Defense Force, sets about telling me the story of his childhood fears of others and the situation and the policeman who  helped him see, he'd rather be on the side of fighting his fear, protecting others and helping others battle that often debilitating emotion of fear especially from bullying.  A truly magnificent story.
