Promoting Global Mental Health Awareness and Support

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

In this episode (a replay from Closing Time), David Ko, CEO of Calm, discusses the mental health challenges founders and their teams face. We discuss practical strategies for building resilience, managing the relentless pressure, and why destigmatizing mental health is crucial for startup success. David shares how leaders can champion well-being, creating a workplace where mental health support is the norm, not the exception. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes building a thriving business starts with a healthy mindset.

We cover:

• How resilience is built through learning from mistakes and taking risks
• Where stress comes from and if you can really eliminate it
• How to lead by example and create a supportive work environment
• Generational shifts in the conversation around mental health
• Why mental health should be normalized throughout the year and not just during Mental Health Awareness Month
