Conquer Your Battlefield Podcast – Interview with Jimi Maltais of Crimson Shadows | Fighting Anxiety

In 2024, we are excited to reserve a segment of our blog space every month to spotlight the work of our esteemed Brave Alumni. You may have already enjoyed familiar stories that were once showcased on the Brave stage. This time, we shine a spotlight on the noteworthy endeavors of another distinguished Brave alum, JD McGibney. JD, a skilled musician, made his debut on the Brave stage during our 2022 LA Show. Beyond his musical talents, he is also a dedicated podcaster who centers his discussions on mental health and wellbeing. We invite you to immerse yourself in today’s featured episode. And if you like what you hear today, please watch for more content from JD in the upcoming months!


Welcome to the “Conquer Your Battlefield” podcast, where we come together to discuss some of the more significant struggles, and metaphorical battlefields, that we’ve faced along our journeys, and share some insight on how we’ve conquered them. 

I’m JD McGibney, guitarist of the band Angels on the Battlefield, and in this episode I’ll be chatting with the epic, commanding, always smiling, and supportive Jimi Maltais of Crimson Shadows!

In this episode we’re going to be talking about Anxiety. According to the ADAA, Anxiety is THE most common mental disorder in the United States, affecting 40 million people (or about 18% of the population) annually. Globally, Anxiety affects about 284 million people every year, which makes it THE most common mental disorder.
