I realized I needed to seek help, so I got a therapist and an executive coach to shine a light on the issues I hadn't dealt with.

I started going to therapy about four or five years ago when I was experiencing a lot of stress at work, prompted by my board member Brad Feld, who emphasizes the importance of mental well-being for high performance.

I have benefited from therapy throughout my life, especially during challenging times.

Mental health has always been a personal journey for me; I struggled with anxiety during my teenage years and started seeing a therapist at 16.

I started going to therapy when I realized that stress and anxiety were affecting my ability to do good work.

Investing in therapy or coaching is not just a personal expense; it can significantly improve your mental and emotional well-being, leading to a high return on investment.

Therapy isn't just about recovering from negative experiences; it can also help maintain an optimal state, which is essential for entrepreneurs and CEOs.

Having a therapist provides a safe space to discuss problems that are difficult to share with co-founders or family, which is crucial for mental well-being.

On a personal level, I'm examining my behaviors that indicate avoidance of uncomfortable problems and identifying what drives me towards constructive actions, like reading and writing.
