#66 There Is No Tiger: Dr. Brian E. Arnold on Overcoming Overthinking and Anxiety

About this episode

Dr. Brian E. Arnold discusses overcoming overthinking and anxiety while sharing insights on podcasting.

What if the ”tiger” chasing you—the one keeping you up at night with worst-case scenarios—doesn’t actually exist? In this episode of the Podfather Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Brian E. Arnold (better known as Dr. B), a professor, author, and mindset coach who literally wrote the book on overcoming overthinking. We explore the ”frontal cortex overload” that keeps us stuck and how to reclaim the present moment. Dr. B also pulls back the curtain on his professional podcasting setup, sharing how he built a high-end studio using DIY materials and clever tech like teleprompters. Whether you’re looking to master your mental game or scale your business through the power of podcasting and relationship-building, Dr. B’s ”seven-minute mindset” offers actionable wisdom you can use today.
