This week’s guest is the entrepreneur and mental health advocate Dan Murray-Serter.
Dan has ten years’ experience of building up businesses but, also, of winding them down. He’s spoken publicly about his failures, as well as his personal experience with anxiety, insomnia, depression, burnout, body dysmorphia and bulimia. And the steps Dan took towards improving his own mental and physical health, led him to a new business in nutrition and supplements.
Dan and Matt get quite deep in this conversation, which covers spirituality, mental health, ayahuasca. and much more.
