Author, speaker, drummer, and mental health advocate Mike Veny gave us a personal perspective of his journey with mental health issues from childhood into adulthood. He is now an accomplished entrepreneur as a result of finding his life's purpose through his mental illness.

Michael Singleton, restaurateur, sat in the studio to discuss his plan to build a personal legacy using his gift of creating masterful food dishes, and giving back to the community through his efforts. He is currently building a Cajun chicken and seafood business from the ground up, with a background that includes incarceration, single parent-hood, and childhood behavior issues.

Lastly, Loren Taylor is a business consultant and entrepreneur, who decided to take his civil responsibility to a higher level, by running for city council District 6 in Oakland, CA. (Vote Nov 6!). He shares with us his own fears about making the leap into business and the political arena. We have the discussion with the goal to help men face fears, examine and heal their minds and emotions, and to take the leap to work for self or serve their community through civil service, to attain self-sufficiency and empowerment. Be encouraged, be inspired, be balanced with Mental Speak.
