What if the hardest moments of your life were actually pointing you toward your purpose?

In this episode, I spoke with Thomas Ousterhout, a PhD scholar turned entrepreneur and founder of Hird, a neurotech startup aimed at helping people better understand their mental health and manage stress in the workplace.

Thomas's focus on mental health began in his teenage years, when he faced some of his biggest personal struggles. Rather than letting them define him, he turned them into the fuel for his passion and career path from psychology to neuroscience, and from California to Copenhagen.

Listen to find out how to look inward to find your motivation, and how to build the habits and consistency to keep moving forward and closer to yourself.

Disclaimer: the episode contains brief mentions of suicide and mental health struggles, so please keep this in mind and listen only if comfortable.
