## Resource

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.
