What if fear isn’t an obstacle—but a signal?
What if doubt isn’t a flaw—but part of the design?
In this episode of Escape Velocity, Tracey Halvorsen sits down with entrepreneur, technologist, and author Kris Land, whose book The Infinity Within explores a radical idea: that human life is less a problem to solve and more a game to consciously play.
Drawing from near-death experiences, early childhood awakenings, decades of building and exiting companies, and a deep curiosity about consciousness, Kris offers a reframing of fear, doubt, success, and creativity. He argues that fear and doubt are not enemies—they’re mechanisms that keep us engaged in the “game of Earth,” and invitations to remember who we really are beneath the noise.
Together, Tracey and Kris explore:
Why success doesn’t eliminate fear—and why that matters
How curiosity and creativity get trained out of us (and how to reclaim them)
The difference between survival fear and illusion-based fear
Why silence, presence, and attention are becoming revolutionary acts
How technology, AI, and the coming “singularity” intersect with spirituality and meaning
What it means to live as if the answers aren’t out there—but already within
This is not a conversation about doctrine or dogma. It’s an invitation to question assumptions, loosen certainty, and approach life with more play, awareness, and courage. If you’ve ever felt there must be more beneath the surface of achievement, productivity, or distraction—this episode is for you.
