Q interview with Austin Netsley. Let's get to it. So the topic of today's episode is Panic attacks. I, funny enough, am currently, as we're recording this, experiencing a panic attack. I will do my best to keep it, uh, as cool as I can. I'd like to know when was the first time you experienced a panic attack? What do you, and do you think you know what caused it?
A Uh, well, first of all, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, uh, This level of stress that we sign up for as entrepreneurs, like it's not talked about enough. So I love that, uh, that we're able to talk about this and shed some light on hopefully how to fix it, how to address it. Um, and it's, it's unfortunate that you're in this situation.
