My story
Brett Solomano is a Screen Actors Guild Award Nominated stuntman for his work on The Walking Dead. He has worked on many tv and film productions performing as a stuntman and actor. Always entrepreneurial, he is a real estate investor and has started several businesses, including a semi truck rental and intermodal container transport business. He is the current Guinness World Record Holder[1] for driving a semi truck (with a 53ft trailer!) in reverse for 55.34 miles (89km!) … in four hours!!
Brett says that one of the most common questions that he would get asked when he would tell people that he was a stuntman was they wanted to know “when doing your stunts, how do you not get scared?” At first he didn’t know the answer to the question, but, like the ever curious individual he is, he started to watch, notice and ask questions of people.
- “What is fear to you?”
- “When do YOU get scared?”
- “Why do you think fear and anxiety are still there when you know you are still safe?”
- “What else is stopping you from being successful?”
- “Are all fears equal?”
- “What about procrastination, perfectionism, anxiety and even indifference? Are these all other minor forms of fear?”
