Today we’ll be talking with Michael Sandler, your super-positive ever-focused co-host on inspire nation. But he wasn’t always this way, he was diagnosed early with ADHD, and it’s taken him years to rewire his mind, and go from completely out of focus to being in the zone. So today we’ll talk about how we can all begin to rewire our minds, gain greater focus, keep our energy from spinning out, and keep ourselves grounded, even during this crazy time of the year. Plus we’ll look at sandboxes, principals offices, running to school, jumping out windows, classroom windows that is, and what in the world chocolate milk had to do with anything?

Today we’ll talk with fear and anxiety expert Dr. Friedemann Schaub, author of the Fear and Anxiety Solution.
