Happy In The Soup 🍲 Wednesday!
April is Mental Health Awareness Month and our In The Soup hosts, Jenn Summe and Melissa Crosby, are taking these next few episodes to dive a little deeper into what you can do, as a founder, for the sake of your mental health.
Today's episode takes a more serious and realistic perspective into the reality that is the entrepreneurial journey. It's never easy, but can you take it?
That's what today's guests are on to talk about and to give you some tips on how to overcome those feelings, when you think you can take it.
Joining our hosts on this episode are Neal Shah of CareYaya and Mark Self of Vector Textiles. Self is also a *member of the Founder Health Mental Pledge, a coalition of startup investors, founders, and leaders coming together to de-stigmatize and encourage mental healthcare for founders and the greater startup community as a business imperative.
Today’s episode, and the rest of the season, are proudly sponsored by Milan Public Relations and Aligned Technology Group.
*In this episode, Jenn mistakenly calls Mark the founder of the Founder Mental Health Pledge. He is a member of the San Francisco-based organization.
