#003: Tackling Youth Mental Health with Check-ins, Leaning Into Psychology and Driving Off The Well-Beaten Path with Ian Fagan, Co-founder of Skodel Right In Your Mind

    • Mental Health

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.
