Welcome to the first episode of the Telos podcast, 'Ultimate Potential: A mental health podcast'. Our hosts Craig LaMont, CEO, and Tony Mosier, COO, both Co-founders of Telos, aim to provide information and insights to parents, individuals, and leaders who support those with mental health needs. 

This week's guests are Chris Perkins and Rod Andrus. Chris currently serves as an executive coach and consultant to leaders and organizations in the mental health field. Chris has been serving and leading in the mental health space for thirty-one years in various roles, including division president, regional vice president, CEO of an acute hospital, and executive director of multiple programs across the continuum of care. Chris is passionate about leading and mentoring individuals who want to make a real impact in the mental health field.

Rod is the founder of Bridge House, a very unique mental health treatment program that caters to young adults and adults with many complex needs. Rod's focus has been to eliminate the revolving door of emergency mental health situations that treats the patient rather than their symptoms. The facility is a beautiful home with healing dignity for patients. Rod is a real pioneer in this space.

We hope you will find the podcasts instructive and encouraging!
