How many dreams have you let slip away—not because you heard “no”—but because you never asked in the first place? Today’s episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's let fear of rejection rob them of the life they truly want. Kevin Lowe is here to remind you: The biggest risk isn't hearing “no”—it’s never asking at all.
This episode is for you if:
- You feel stuck waiting for permission or approval
- You’re tired of letting fear call the shots

What’s Today All About?
In Episode 389, Kevin shares a personal story that flips the fear of rejection on its head. After being inspired by an interview on The Ed Mylett Show, Kevin decided to reach out to a top-tier guest despite expecting no response. This guest was way out of his league. Or was he?
This episode challenges the belief that rejection is the worst-case scenario. In truth, staying silent is far worse. Kevin shows you why asking the question—whether it's for a job, a date, a dream collaboration—is always worth it, even when it feels terrifying.
You’ll walk away believing that courage doesn’t mean you’re not scared—it means you ask anyway.
Some Key Takeaways:
- Why the real danger isn’t rejection—it’s silence
- How your fear is lying to you about what’s possible
- Why the worst thing that can happen isn’t as bad as you think
- How to start asking boldly, without expectation but with heart
- Real-life proof that a single ask can change everything
Your Next Step:
This week, think of one thing you’ve been too afraid to ask for—and go ask. No pressure. No expectations. Just courage.
