About this episode
This is one of my favorite episodes because Dr. Cameron Sepah has done years of training on the topic of my show and just puts it all out there. All the evidenced-based knowledge we have on what stress is and the most effective ways we can work with it.
Not only that but Dr. Sepah has operating experience in how to build a company in addition to clinical and academic experience in this field. This is the truth straight from someone who has experience in both theory and practice. Very good idea to listen all the way through.
Episode transcript
If you care deeply about something, right. You really want to do well at work because your career is a meaningful part of your life, of course you're gonna have anxiety about it. Right. The only way. So I asked them, I'm like, look, if you really want to get rid of your anxiety, if that's your agenda, you walk in, you're like, I want it to go from eight to four. I'd be like, great. The only way I know to do that is you have to stop caring about your work.
Or if you have social anxiety, the only way that I know for you to not have any social anxiety is to not care about people. Are you willing to not care about people anymore? Of course.
Hi, my name is Stuart Alsop, and this is my podcast, Crazy Wisdom, where I interview creative people about how they work with and manage the stress that is inherent in creative work. What I've realized over the past 10 years of my research is that anybody who is creating something of value that is significantly different from what has come before is considered crazy. Most of us have a fear, an ingrained fear of going crazy. So what I'm saying is grab onto that fear, realize that it's there, and just go with it, because the problems we're going to be facing over the next 20 years require crazy people in order to solve them. So welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. My guest here is Cameron Seppa.
Sure. Well, first of all, thank you very much for having me on the podcast. Pleasure. I've listened to the podcast before, and so it's always great to be able to join as a guest.
