Imagine you're not just shy, but actually debilitatingly paralyzed at the thought of interacting with other people. That's what Russell Norris describes when he talks about his journey with social anxiety. He's the author of “Red Face: How I Learned to Live With Social Anxiety” and my guest today. We go through a fascinating discussion to learn more about what his struggle was really like and some of the strategies that he tried and found successful and some that maybe didn't work so well in his journey to be able to live successfully with this challenge. It was a fascinating discussion and I urge you to not only listen to our conversation today but also to check out his book. It's a wonderful picture of this challenge, which afflicts many, many people, and is also useful for anybody looking to build self-regulation skills.After battling social anxiety for years, Russell Norris became an exec at a leading advertising agency in London. He is an author and a UX Copy Director at Fast Radius, a leading cloud manufacturing and digital supply chain company, however, his experience with words has spanned across many sectors. He's married, with two children – and Red Face was his first non-fiction book.CHAPTERS00:07:52 The value of a diagnosis00:12:30 The impact of trauma and stress00:15:30 Turning to alcohol00:21:20 Beta blockers to Russell's rescue00:22:40 The calming power of exercise00:24:00 Self-acceptance is healing00:27:30 No quick fix...except maybe children 00:30:31 What part has bravery played?00:32:49 The challenge of speaking up00:37:03 Introversion versus social anxiety00:38:10 Men not talking about mental healthLINKSHappy Space Podcast ep. 14 - Managing Anxiety with a Mindset Coach - with Paul SheppardIMAGE CREDITS (see images on Youtube video)Red Face cover - credit Russell NorrisErythrophobia - credit Clare KumarPaul Sheppard, mindset coach, ep 14 - credit Paul SheppardBook Cover The Myth of Normal - credit GoodreadsGabor Mate - credit websiteClare's book club - Clare KumarLearn more about and follow guest(s):LinkedInTwitterWebsite

Allego shares closed Wednesday's session up 114%; Alpha Tau shares closed up 14%. While the Benzinga newsdesk team couldn't find specific news to justify the sharp moves higher, the connection traders were making between Allego and Alpha Tau seemed to be specific to the fact that each issue was a recently-completed SPAC. The SPAC deal for Terran Orbital, a vertically-integrated satellite solutions company, is expected to close on Mar. 25, 2022, meaning Terran Orbital is expected to begin trade under ticker "LLAP" early next week. Terran Orbital currently trades under Tailwind Two Acquisition Corp. (TWNT).Cepton (CPTN) - A play on pre-market momentum in Fast Radius (FSRD). Cepton and Fast Radius were clumped into a trader group back in mid February.
