The problem with men not feeling like they can open up, they just want to keep going and going and going.
Dr. John Delony 1:30
Men are socialized from the age of two to shut up and just go on and do the next thing. For all of human history, men were able to share who they were, but they did it shoulder to shoulder doing things. Those things have been taken away. Your 40s and 50s and 60s and 70s will be built on the foundation you built at 20 and 30. The mental health community has failed dramatically telling people that mental and emotional health is getting all the right thoughts in the right order.

Hala Taha 2:56
Yeah, I'm so excited for this conversation. I feel like the topic of anxiety is so important for entrepreneurs because we're highly anxious people and there's lots of reasons why entrepreneurs tend to have anxiety or think they have anxiety. So let's take it back to 2010 when you actually realized that you had anxiety and you were quite burnt out. And so it seemed like you were living the perfect life. family and everything like that, but everything kind of came crashing down for you in 2010. So talk to us about those moments.
Dr. John Delony 3:30

And how can I fulfill my role in my family? How can I make my little mark on the world, right? And I think like all of us, I just did the thing that was in front of me, like go to school and go be successful and then go get married and then do your best to have a kid and then try to make as much money as you can and then get this job title and this job title.
