You and I talked about the grand challenge work that I do, and that's what got me to the mental health work. When I was a kid, when I was 10 years old, my mother developed schizophrenia. It was a game changer for my family. It destroyed my family. It was 1969. My dad didn't know what was going on. It was horrific for me. I was very close to my mother.

She was getting her PhD in special education, which, by the way, she continued to pursue and received as someone who had schizophrenia. She got her PhD. Since it was special education for young kids, I was always the test kid. She dragged me around to all these things that she did. One of the great gifts my mother gave me was that I associate taking tests with my mother's love.

So I have loved tests through high school and college. It did me, it was a great boon. I mean, you know, I was always ready to take the test. Gotten so close to her because of this relationship with her PhD. And then suddenly she was gone and she was paranoid. She thought people were following us. Thought people were pumping gas into our apartment at night.

She had audio hallucinations, visual hallucinations. So for a 10-year-old, it was like the person I depended on to interpret the world for me was suddenly completely checked out. It was terrifying for me. My family fell apart. I moved out of the house at 16, was unsupervised through all my early adulthood. I never went back to my home. I never felt like my family's home was my home.

When I moved out, that was it. Luckily, my mother got good meds in the 90s, and we had a really good relationship for the last eight years of her life. That seminal event, of course, is something I carry with me. It's part of my identity, part of who I am. Fast forward, I'm doing these grand challenges, big, bold goals that take on intractable issues.

I get a referral to the CEO of the Huntsman Mental Health Institute because he wants to eliminate stigma across the country for all Americans, all 350 million Americans. Because of my own background, I said, well, I'll work with you pro bono and I'll show you how to do this. So we met once a week for an hour a week for about a year. And then he invited me to lead the initiative.
