Danny Mangulabnan is a friend of 30 years and took some time to join me on the podcast.

Danny’s life has been full of ups and downs but his childhood was normal and he was part of a very christian upbringing. School was always tough for Danny and he was kicked out of several times. He said as he went along that it always seemed easier to do bad than to do good. This would be the story for a lot of Danny’s life.

He started using hard drugs in high school, he would later quit school which proved to be detrimental. Without the structure of school, Danny found himself running with crowds that liked to do the things that he was interested in. In most cases, this meant doing drugs. Crime soon followed which brought long stretches of jail and prison time.

He found God and a 12 step fellowship that has kept him clean for 3 years. Today he is very involved with service work and helping others in need.

Erin Horn discusses how life was growing up in central Ohio. She recalls a happy and active childhood with her parents and 3 siblings. Like most families, mental health was not discussed. She does realize that most of her family members have experienced depression and anxiety at different times and at different levels of severity.

All of Erin’s siblings had an innate drive to do well in whatever they were doing. Inherently, this brings about pressure which can bring on instances of anxiety and depression.

She courageously takes us through the story of her youngest brother who passed away from an overdose a few years ago. Looking back on it, she sees that he struggled from an early age. It was hard for the family to spot any problems at the time because mental health was not a topic of proactive discussion or education.

Like many kids, Erin’s brother was prescribed pain medication for headaches he was having. Soon he was taking more than he needed because he liked the way the medicine made him feel. This was the beginning of a long struggle with addiction.

This is a story of a family’s unwavering love and how they left no stone unturned in order to get him help. Despite having stretches of sobriety and attending great rehab facilities, the disease of addiction took his life. 

Erin’s passion for mental health awareness really shines through in her work. She joined an organization called 1N5 that works to destigmatize mental health, especially in youth.

Scott Robertson joined me on the podcast to discuss mental health in the workplace. Scott is a leader in the business and philanthropic community in Cincinnati as well as nationally. 

He sits on the board for many organizations but one in particular as it relates to mental health is the Lindner Center of Hope in Cincinnati. He was invited personally by the Lindner family to help join their cause to address mental health in the community and around the world. 

Scott is a rare individual in that he is very successful in business but also extremely compassionate and educated when it comes to behavioral health. He knows how important it is to open the flood gates around mental health and for us all to participate in open, honest dialogue around this topic so we can work to end the stigma that is associated with it. 

Mental health in business is rarely talked about but Scott is helping to lead a charge to change that. He wrote an article for the Cincinnati Business Courier in 2019 where he put his flag in the ground as someone who wants to be an advocate for change. We need more leaders like this in the business community to put themselves out there for the greater good.

Brian McConnell has experienced trauma throughout his life and in this episode he explains how it has shaped him. 

He talks candidly about growing up in the south and the difficulty in his youth with understanding racism and religion. Navigating life in his early years was difficult as he saw different behavioral challenges within his own family unit. 

After high school he chose to enter the military, this experience proved to bring about more trauma which he would struggle with for some time. Brian would fight depression and suicidal thoughts for years to come until a friend had the courage to get involved. This interaction encouraged him to seek help from a professional. He has been working on himself ever since. 

Brian is a father now and is helping his own family navigate the difficulties that life brings. He is thankful that he got help, now he is equipped to assist others in the process of opening up and being vulnerable.
