My First Million · I dropped out of college and built a $3.6B company from scratch · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

And so from that point forward, that sort of solved any kind of self-doubt I had around my operational skills.

And then the rest has just been like, is the company going to work?

And then do we need to veer the company in a different direction or not?

Uh, early on in therapy, I kind of, uh, it was, we just like identified, I don't even know if there's like a word that everybody uses or only because like, I've been going to therapy before, like chat to PT.

So I didn't like research everything that you were ever told.

Uh, but like she used this term catastrophization, um, or cat catastrophize.

And so like, maybe that's like a well-known term.

I have no idea, but the theory being that like I catastrophize things.

So like,

Like, you know, I get one piece of news and then I instantly extrapolate out to like the worst possible outcomes.

Like this one person leaves, which means the entire company's out of business because like, you know, they leave and then they're going to miss this one thing and that's going to stop working and then that's going to break and then, you know, doom.

And by the way, I think actually like most people, most AI doomers should probably see a therapist because it's all just catastrophization.

So for me, like what I basically just started to, once I could like kind of like

maybe like understand it and and like name it as something you can then feel when it's happening and then you're like you know what i know what this is

I've seen this 20 other times or 50 other times in this category.

And guess what?

It doesn't mean the end of the world.

The thing doesn't end up blowing up.

It doesn't break everything.

You do recover.
