https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Z7zsYnjFDxGDNWFYlW0sB"Anxiety is experiencing failure in advance." — Seth GodinI mention and quote Seth Godin fairly often on this blog and so it only seems right to share this recent podcast that he did on the Tim Ferriss Show. Broadly speaking, the conversation is about "the game of life, the value of hacks, and overcoming anxiety." I think most of you will find it useful regardless of what you do and what you're involved in. It's over an hour long, but there's a full transcript available if you'd prefer to read, rather than listen. If you're looking for something even shorter, here's a quick video by Tim Ferris that has Seth talking about why worrying isn't productive and that it's really in service of our need for status quo and reassurance.
