When the Towers Fell, She Ran Toward the Fire
Picture a young Secret Service agent watching the first tower of the World Trade Center collapse from her office window in Tower 7. Most people fled. She ran toward the inferno. For the next several days, Evy Poumpouras worked twelve-hour shifts at Ground Zero, helping survivors, supporting grieving families, and discovering something counterintuitive: helping others became her antidote to fear. That realization forms the foundation of what it means to become bulletproof-not eliminating fear, but transforming it into purposeful action. We're not born fearless. We're born with only two innate fears: falling and loud sounds. Everything else-spiders, public speaking, rejection, failure-we learned from parents, culture, news, and personal experience. Each generation develops its own societal anxieties. The 1950s feared communism. The 1960s, assassinations. The 1970s, oil crises. Today, we fixate on statistically rare dangers like mass shootings (1 in 614 million odds) while ignoring far more probable threats like car accidents (1 in 102 chance annually). Media sensationalism hijacks our risk assessment, making the uncommon seem inevitable. True bulletproof thinking begins with understanding that fear itself isn't the enemy-it's how we respond to it that determines whether we survive or crumble.
