Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail Bill and Bryan launch a vital series on mental health in sales—a topic that's rarely discussed but critically important. After Bill's month-long absence dealing with family tragedies, they dive into why salespeople face unique mental health challenges: quota pressure, identity tied to numbers, comparison traps, and the constant pursuit of an unreachable horizon. Bryan shares his panic attack story from his P&G days (confusing a cardiologist visit for what turned out to be anxiety), while Bill opens up about avoidance behaviors and the realization that mental health issues don't discriminate based on success level. This isn't about coddling—it's about real tools, tough love, and practical steps to tend to your mental health. They're inviting listeners to share what they want covered in the remaining episodes via the LinkedIn community.
