In this episode, I interview Dr. Arash Javanbakht, a psychiatrist and author of the book 'Afraid.' We discuss the intersection of fear, anxiety, and entrepreneurship. Arash shared his experiences working with anxiety and trauma in his clinic, as well as his own journey as an entrepreneur. We also explored why some people enjoyed fear and the role fear plays in motivating entrepreneurs. Arash also talked about the importance of knowing why you do what you do and the impact of fear on decision-making. He shares personal stories of conquering fear and the role of mentors in finding motivation and direction. The episode concludes with practical tips for managing anxiety and taking action in the face of fear.
This was one of my favorite interviews and Dr. Javanbakht has some amazing things to say about managing anxiety and fear. Please check it out.
