Right In Your Mind Wilson Hou

In this episode, I chat to Ian Fagan to explore his story - from being conflicted and battling mental health issues in high school, to co-founding HSC Study Buddy and Skodel with his twin brother Julian. We touch on their work with Andrew Fuller, renowned educational psychologist, and their struggle building a new product category into existence to tackle youth mental health - and all the uncertainties and doubts that came with being first. We cover the importance of identifying emotions, especially early on in life - in that pivotal period that is high school.

In this episode, I sit down with Ravi Sharma, founder of OOTify to discuss his journey - from being a super-user of the mental health system, to founding a venture-backed startup that checks all the boxes, then validating solutions before and through clinical trials.

How can you make an impact in mental health while neither having a clinical background, nor yet a completed university degree?

In this episode, I chat with Clarissa Onie, co-founder of MOODi to chat about her experiences navigating mental health as an early-stage founder, how to conduct difficult (but essential) customer interviews in the space, and lessons learnt doing hackathons versus co-founding a business.
