Join Taylor Welch and Mike Walker in this episode of TWC Podcast as they unpack one of the most misunderstood currencies of growth: anxiety. Speaking candidly and off-script, Taylor breaks down why anxiety isn’t the enemy — it’s the proof you’re advancing, stretching, and stepping further from what’s familiar.

Through real stories, vivid analogies, and hard-won lessons from the last decade of business and leadership, Taylor reveals the moments that trigger anxiety, growth, progress, and the courage to fly higher than before. And he shows how the top performers in history didn’t outrun anxiety… they used it as fuel.

He dives into five powerful levers you can use when pressure shows up:

1. Perspective – why leaders and pioneers always carry scars
2. Expectations – how your thinking shapes your reality
3. Timelines – when to accelerate… and when to slow down
4. Experiences – using physical challenge to rewire the mind
5. Action – doing your job whether you feel like it or not

From Abraham Lincoln to Walt Disney, from cold plunges to morning formulas — this episode equips you with a toolkit for navigating the turbulence required to reach higher altitudes.

No theories. No polished keynote. Just real-world insight on how to handle pressure, move forward when your brain begs for safety, and build immunity to fear by taking small doses of failure on purpose.

If you’ve ever asked, “How do I deal with anxiety while I grow?” — this episode is your answer.

Anxiety is a byproduct of growth. You can run from it or you can use it.
