Being an entrepreneur is a lonely and stressful gig. And one of the most lonely and stressful lines of work is that of a contractor. Nobody ever teaches you how to manage employees, manage customers, manage your books, manage your finances, your purchasing, your taxes, your competitors, you market. It's a big job and quite often it lands all on your shoulders alone. And nobody teaches us how to deal with it all emotionally and physically.
Jim Demeray founded Understand Us; a non-profit whose mission is to increase awareness around mental health. And one t-shirt, one cookie, one keynote at a time, Jim is normalizing the conversation and removing the stigma around speaking up about our internal struggles.
This may be one of our most important episodes yet. Have a listen. Take action.
