Description
Hey everybody,
So excited for this one :)
Pedro Paiva is the Head of Operations at Yes Theory. He’s been with us for two years.
When he first arrived, our system was in shambles. We needed someone to come in an re-organize the ship.
He’s done an incredible job since then and has become such a good friend, that I felt it would be awesome for you guys to get to know him.
This podcast is for anyone with a dream job or anyone who is curious about how things work behind the scenes here.
I think you’ll love it :)
Enjoy!
-Matt

The Antidote to Anxiety: Pandemics and vast uncertainty aside, life is hard. And for whatever reason, it seems to be getting harder. Studies have shown that the average kid today experiences more anxiety than the average psychiatric patient in the 1950s. It feels like there’s this undercurrent of anxiety to everything we do. But instead of dealing with it, we fill our calendars with back-to-back appointments and our lives with endless distractions. We do everything we can to avoid having that anxiety bubble up. But what if we didn’t? What if we stopped trying to numb and distract? What would it look like to just accept anxiety as a fact of life and deal with it head on? That’s what we’re getting after in this episode. Along the way, Matt shares the intimate details of how he’s grappled with anxiety through the years and Ammar discusses his inability to meditate. Most importantly, Andy Puddicombe, the former monk and co-founder of the meditation app Headspace, stops by to help us to by The Yes Theory Podcast
