In this episode, Chad Muncy interviews Steve Fredlund. For 30 years, Steve brought clarity and innovative analytical solutions to several large corporations (Allianz, Medtronic, Thrivent, 3M). Steve holds a degree in mathematics and an MBA with emphasis in nonprofit management; He is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and certified in Strategic Workforce Planning. Steve's most prolific roles included actuarial, capital markets hedging, and workforce analytics. However, even through a very successful working career and the many listed accolades, Steve suffered from something that is now being called high functioning anxiety. A very common condition where people that have apparently normal and successful or normal lives, have extreme, long spouts of anxiety. This caused steve to go through moments of torment where he would sit in his car and cry before entering work.
