It happens to the best of us. It's been a part of each one of my startups, and my guess is that it happens to us all in various degrees. The goal here is to be cathartic, to help us realize that it's real, that it happens to each of us, and how we can cope well until we swing out of the roughest parts.
I'll be sharing a great deal from my personal experiences with depression, startups, tech, highs/lows, and some insights from the journey. This isn't a talk from someone on the other side (if that exists) but someone who is very much changing the world from where I am. I believe you can do the same.
My hope for this talk is that we can understand we're not alone, find encouragement, and get a few tools to help along the way.
Extended Bio
I earned a business/psychology degree (called service management), and my masters was in divinity (with a course load in counseling/psychology/systems). I've also worked with many people over the years in various stages of life (parents, students, hospice, homeless). I'm not a psychologist (I run a software company) and would gladly recommend people if needed.
