What is anxiety? Jason, Nathaniel, and Donald explore the metaphor of anxiety as a guard dog – one that can overcorrect or act up when threatened. With this metaphor in mind, they talk with special guest, Craig Knippenberg, and discuss how the guard dog translates to different arenas - like the battlefield or the classroom - and what we can do to distract it. Together, they explore the roots of anxiety and the consequences of anxiety, discuss how anxiety can lead to depression and addiction and show up in different ways, and share hacks for thriving alongside a vigilant guard dog.

Bridging the Gap: The OODA Loop (developed by Air Force Colonel John Boyd) is an acronym (observe, orient, decide, act) for a four-step approach to decision-making that focuses on filtering available information, putting it in context, and quickly making the most appropriate decision, while also understanding that changes can be made as more data becomes available.
