Richie Cartwright is Co-founder at Fella, a global community-driven digital health platform to guide men through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Binge Eating. He founded and sold the company Flow X, which worked with the UK government on improving traffic flow using artificial intelligence. An avid entrepreneur and economics graduate from Cambridge, he is determined to share his own story of struggling with binge eating to help the millions of other people who have it too, both men and women.

In this conversation, Richie and Zack discuss how to look after our mental health from day to day, how to face binge eating disorder, the difficulties facing men which discourage them from seeking help, and much, much more.
