Do you get anxious before you go live? Or maybe you can't even get started pressing that "go live" button because you're so anxious?

Performance anxiety is a real thing, and that's why I am so excited to have Dr Nick Lazaris on the show. He's a Performance Psychologist and Anxiety Coach and has over 38 years of experience helping entrepreneurs, performing artists, and creatives overcome performance anxiety and stage fright.

I met Nick in Franklin, Tenessee this year and we had an amazing conversation about how some entrepreneurs can really struggle with getting in front of the camera. But more importantly, how to overcome that anxiety.
