In this episode of Echando Pa’Lante, Dr. Manuel Blasini sits down with Dr. Colby Hampton, a psychologist that works with a lot of people with anxiety, OCD, and panic disorders. Together, they dive deep into the impact anxiety has on the brain, and why—contrary to popular belief—anxiety isn’t always the enemy. Dr. Hampton shares why he “loves” anxiety, reframing it as a protective system rather than a flaw.

We unpack the biggest myths around anxiety, explore practical skills to manage it more effectively, and highlight how anxiety shows up uniquely in founders, entrepreneurs, and people in leadership roles. This is a rich, eye-opening conversation that challenges assumptions and equips you with new ways to understand and work with your own anxiety.
