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.

I had never led a grand challenge. I always support CEOs who lead grand challenges. Because of my background, I said yes. That was about four years ago. It's been one of the best choices of my life. So I'm the lead for Stop Stigma Together to eliminate the stigma around mental health and substance use disorders on a national scale.

We work with all the major mental health organizations, a lot of little ones as well. We work with the Ad Council. We have a seven-year campaign going, and we're helping them to raise money to make it longer. The campaign is called Love Your Mind, and I can talk about that. I hope that Love Your Mind will become like Smokey the Bear. It'll just be part of American culture. That's what my goal is.

Well, the first thing is that you have to pull all the movers and shakers in a particular space together face-to-face, not Zoom. And after the pandemic, that's a challenge because everybody's busy. Everybody's like, I'll give you an hour, but, you know, you want me to get on a plane and fly to a city and spend a night? And it's like the thing that was gratifying was that all of these people.

So we're talking about the executive directors of, you know, American Psychiatric, American Psychological Association, NAMI, all these big organizations. They all work. understood why stigma has to be defeated. And they all had initiatives to fight stigma. And they all felt like they were kind of at the end of what they could do on their own. It was a known topic.

It had been around for a long time. Everybody was frustrated. And then suddenly mental health was popping up on the national conversation. Simone Biles, COVID, all of these things exacerbated the stress people were experiencing or made them feel like they could talk about it. If Simone Biles can talk about it, I can talk about it.

We started seeing mental health on the front page of all these newspapers all the time. So that challenge to bring them, to get them to schedule that time and show up was something we were able to overcome. And we had an amazing meeting in April of 22 with all these leaders. So that was the first challenge.

Yeah, so what I've seen is research shows that for children, education works. You can teach a child about brain diseases, mental health, substance use disorders. For adults in general, they need to meet somebody that's like them. So like if I saw an ad, let's say an Olympic swimmer who's got mental health challenges and has overcome those, that's a nice thing, but I'm not an Olympic swimmer.
