A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video (Mark Evans DM) discussing anxiety in business. The speaker frames anxiety as an expected, recurring response during high-stress operations (weekly calls about lawsuits, debt, sales, money moves) and describes using anxiety as a tool—converting nervous energy into action rather than a crippling crutch.
Mark, at what point in your business career did you stop having anxiety when you walked away? Like I mean look it's so good I don't think it goes away. I think it definitely like you know, we have a call every Tuesday. Anxiety goes up on Tuesday for everybody because we're talking about deep issues, real issues, lawsuits, debt loads, you know, moving money wherever, you know, sales organization, like all these pieces. So anxiety is going to go up. But I don't mind anxiety as long as I know where it's coming from and I'm using anxiety as a tool, not necessarily as a crutch. I think anxiety is good for us though. Like I can't imagine like someone getting on stage like a Jay Z and I being anxious a little bit. But what is he using the anxiousness for? Energy or you know, that's my problem. I have so much anxiety. I convert that into action.
