Looking After Your Mental Health as an Entrepreneur
In this raw and candid episode, hosts Alex and Pooh discuss the topic of mental health, particularly focusing on men and entrepreneurship. They share their personal struggles with relationships, business pressures, and social media comparison, emphasising the loneliness entrepreneurs feel and the alarming male suicide rates. Alex describes a cathartic emotional healing retreat, while Pooh talks about using exercise as self-care. They agree being honest with yourself and finding sustainable self-improvement routines lead to better mental health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Comparing yourself to curated social media feeds harms mental health. Stay aware that no one's life is perfect.
- Men often bury emotions and don't talk openly, contributing to high suicide rates. Men's support groups encourage healthy emotional release.
- Find sustainable daily routines like mindfulness, exercise, and alone time to support mental health. Skip routines sometimes rather than quit.
- Emotional healing retreats with plant medicines like San Pedro cactus can help release buried feelings.
- Prioritise sleep, which makes handling stress and moods easier.
- Don't overschedule your day. Make sure evening routines allow family time.
- Know yourself, work on yourself, and become your best you. This builds resilience.
- Do your best every day. You can't always win but you can control your efforts.
BEST MOMENTS
"I guarantee almost everyone will break down in tears. Once you dig deep enough and you dig into their soul."
"Instead of helping me to go forward, social media pushes me back into that deep dark place even more."
"Exercise is massively underrated. There's nothing really advanced, just go out, make yourself sweat."
"You can't be so naive as to believe everybody's doing so much better than you."
"At the end of the day, just do your best with yourself."
HOST BIO
Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation Units and 10 Buy-To-Lets collectively over the last 5 years.
This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor made ‘lifestyle by design’.
Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
