Learn how to protect your mental health while building a high-growth business. Success can be one of the most dangerous things that happens to an entrepreneur. As your business grows, so do the responsibilities, the pressure, the expectations, and the weight of carrying everyone who depends on you. Too often, founders convince themselves the answer is simply to work harder - until the stress, anxiety, burnout, or depression become impossible to ignore. In this deeply personal episode, Charles Gaudet sits down with entrepreneur and author Jonathan Maddock to discuss one of the least talked about challenges in entrepreneurship: mental health. Jonathan openly shares his journey after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, how that diagnosis helped him better understand both his greatest strengths and biggest risks as a leader, and why addressing mental health ultimately made him a stronger entrepreneur, husband, and father. Charles also shares his own experience navigating grief, emotional suppression, and seeking professional help after losing his father.
