In the first episode of Into The Fyre, Alex explores why so many artists have been committing suicide recently, in particular Avicii (Tim Bergling).  He delves into a book written by one of his professors in graduate school (Thomas Joiner) called "Why People Die By Suicide", trying to make connections as to why suicide is a major issue dealing with creatives.  Alex examines the alarming rate of suicide that is plaguing our society right now, and what we can do as a collective to stop the bleeding.

Don't forget to subscribe, next week Alex discusses into how mental illness negatively and POSITIVELY influences creativity and artistry, as he dives into the book "Touched With Fire: Manic-depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament."
