Welcome to Episode 113 of The Madhappy Podcast. This week, we are excited to welcome Jay Glazer on the show to learn more about his journey and road to becoming an advocate for men’s mental health.

We kick things off as Jay talks through his early career, elaborating on how his public, perceived identity caused him to keep a lot of the personal pain he experienced close to his chest (2:40). Peiman asks how Jay came to talk about “the gray” in his life, moving the two into a conversation about the importance of vulnerability and mental health conversations (5:23).

Jay speaks about his experiences with adversity and depression (7:34), before elaborating on why he finds it important to lean on his friends and find a sound support system in his community (15:41).

Peiman asks Jay about the inspiration to open his gym in Los Angeles (27:18), as the two wrap up with a conversation about Jay’s mental-health focused book, Unbreakable (33:50).
