In this episode we are joined by not just one but TWO guests- Nathan Braaten and Taylor Ricci. Nathan and Taylor are the co-founders of the Dam Worth It Campaign- a mental health awareness campaign that they started during their time as Division 1 student-athletes and have continued to grow over the past few years. Dam Worth It has received national recognition from Sports Illustrated, USA Today and NBC Sports, among others. Nathan and Taylor discuss all things mental health including why there is a negative stigma attached to it (especially among athletes and in the sports world) and what actions they are taking with the campaign to end it. They also announce some BIG NEWS that you don't want to miss out on, so make sure to give this one a listen!
