George Taktak and I had a fabulous high-speed conversation about the highs, the lows, and the challenges of humanizing and scaling mental health support. We also discussed how George's creative talents, he is both an artist and a poet, contributing vitally to his high growth business and his wellbeing.George is an entrepreneur, mental health activist, and founder of How Mental - a social movement of more than a quarter of a million people whose mission is to make mental health care accessible to all. The Genesis for How Mental started some years ago, born out of Georgia's own struggles and his experience of a harrowing mental pain.He was so beautifully honest and inspiring to talk to.
