A bold invitation for dreamers and high achievers to rise above fear and realize their ultimate potential in leadership and life.
A life of abundance is waiting for you on the other side of fear
When you think about your dreams, do you notice that fear is often right there too, riding shotgun? Instead of singing along to your favorite 90s hits as you cruise down the road to success, fear shouts over the soundtrack, telling you that you’re not good enough, you’re bound to fail, or that you’re too afraid to even try. And so, we take the nearest exit ramp – filled with anxiety and paralyzed by fear – settling for what feels “safe. When anxiety and fear dominate our lives, it can be debilitating.
when we learn to embrace fear, it can become a superpower that drives us toward unimaginable new heights.
Our relationship with fear needs to change.
Adam Hill is a memorable keynote speaker, bestselling author, nine-figure CEO, World Championship qualifying triathlete, host of the Flow Over Fear podcast, and leading voice on the art of rising above fear and anxiety to achieve a high-performance life.
After overcoming more than a decade of alcoholism and destructive behavior, Adam discovered that his deep-rooted fear and anxiety disorder weren’t the enemies he made them out to be. In fact, they were his greatest ally and catalyst for achieving a high-performing life.
Through reframing his perception of fear and anxiety and harnessing them as tools for success, Adam went from non-athlete to elite long-distance triathlete, qualifying for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii in just four years.
Today, Adam shares his powerful triumph over fear with audiences around the world and through his weekly podcast, inspiring others to recognize fear as a gift rather than an obstacle to living a life of abundance.

Amazon #1 Bestselling Memoir
Shifting Gears: From Anxiety and Addiction to a Triathlon World Championship
It was never part of Adam Hill’s life ambition or his genetic constitution to wear a Speedo in public, let alone compete in a triathlon. For the first three decades of life, he was the poster child for non-athleticism, obsessively unhealthy habits, and an intense fear of… well… everything.
Yet at the age of thirty-three, with a physique that could only be described as “Sasquatch with a Dad Bod,” he put aside his insecurities and took his first step toward an outrageous dream: to qualify for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
It was a dream shared by nearly every other triathlete in the world, reserved for the top 1 percent of all athletes in the sport—a sport in which Adam had exactly zero experience.
In Shifting Gears, Adam shares his harrowing, inspiring, and sometimes-clumsy story of transformation, from the origins of a debilitating anxiety disorder to his battle with alcoholism to his rise to the top of the triathlon world stage.
“My emotion was up and down with every stroke, pedaling, and every turn in his running through the pages. I will remember his mantra – Swim through the fear, bike with your brain, and run with your heart.”
