Welcome, to the Becoming Okay podcast, conversations with your host Meg Schirnhofer, who meets with people who share their lived-experiences with mental health and how they are finding a way to become okay.

In this episode of Becoming Okay, I sit down with Richard North, who survived a catastrophic car crash, endured an armed robbery in his home, built multi-million pound businesses and has lived with undiagnosed ADHD for decades. Today he's the most vulnerable he's ever been in an interview.
