88: Mental Health Challenges and Suicidal Ideation Among Founders

Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter

When I asked today's guest (my friend Dee Ntšala) what was on her heart to talk about during this episode, she mentioned a really intense, staggering statistic about the mental health challenges that entrepreneurs face. Did you know that founders are more likely to have suicidal ideation? I didn't, so this conversation floored me.

Here's the resource we looked up and referenced in this episode:
