Overcoming anxiety is something we all have to learn. On this episode, Peter Rahal shares a particular moment in his business where the stresses of his personal life crashed in while huge business difficulties were happening at the same time.

What would you do if you were in the midst of a product recall - actually buying back your product from your distributors - when you got the call that your father had suffered a heart attack? That's the situation Peter Rahal faced at his "lowest point" in business. You can hear how he weathered the storm on this episode.

When Peter Rahal was leading his team through the voluntary recall of some of their products and he received the news that his father had suffered a heart attack, it was particularly difficult because his father was one of the reasons for his business start. The combination of the two issues - life crisis and business crisis - made the season particularly difficult.

If you want to become adept at overcoming anxiety you've got to learn to roll with the situations that come into your life. Peter Rahal's experience when he got the news of his father's heart attack caused him to recognize the need for a different response than most people typically to have. You can hear how Peter describes the challenge, on this episode.
