This week, Dietrich and Z start the mash-up with The RIDE by discussing current market research news and public opinion polling.

Then the conversation shifts to the idea of labels and stereotypes that we fall into and how hard that can be to break both externally and internally with our own mental health journey.

This week, Z is joined by guest host Adam Dietrich to talk about market research news, polling, and the mental health of major life events.

This week, Z and Adam look at the advice of living in the moment and the paradox of market research in that. We also talk about the phrase "either growing or dying" and what it means to just "be."

After talking about the fears of CEOs last week, Z and Adam talk about how bad bosses can impact the mental health of employees. Along with that, they break down a bad boss by those that just are incompetent to those that just are not a fit for certain employees. Adam also shares his moments of being a bad boss himself and that mental health impact.

This week, Z and Adam look at an article from Vistage that lists the 6 main fears of a CEO and how they should deal with them. We then look from the perspective of employees and leaders and what these fears and how they are suggested to be handled, impact mental health at work.

This week - Z and Adam break down a recent Fast Company article that touches on the subject of "work family" and its impact on mental health.

Fresh off her first business travel since the pandemic started, Z talks with Adam about the fears and uncertainties of traveling and social interactions that lacked over the past 18 months.

This week we talk about the importance of mental health commitment and toughness both to keep going and bow out using the recent Simone Biles situation as a backdrop.
