What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yitzchak Fanger’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Neil Armstrong, who was the first astronaut to reach the moon, was once asked where his courage came from. >> [music] >> Where from? How were you not afraid? Where does courage come from? So, he said that courage doesn't mean not being afraid. It's doing what needs to be done despite the fear. In other words, my goal is not to eliminate fear, but to act despite it.
