Johnny Chen on Building Mental Fitness and Vulnerability for Men with Sail
You don't need to have a mental illness to work on your mental health...Maybe it's okay for me to talk about mental health, maybe it's okay to work on my mind, maybe it's okay to see a therapist, and so I think we're starting to see that change, but we still have a long way to go.
What if mental fitness was as mainstream as physical fitness? Johnny Chen, the founder and CEO of Sail, joins Stephen Hays to talk about creating a space where men can flex their emotional muscles. Sail is a coaching community that encourages men to be vulnerable and open, offering four-week programs that cover leadership, relationships, and emotional intelligence.
Johnny's vision is to create a 'Peloton of the mind' specifically for men, helping them to become better versions of themselves through guided practice and peer support. Each program consists of four 90-minute sessions, blending teaching, coaching, and active learning. In this episode, Johnny shares his personal journey into mental health advocacy and explains how Sail's programs foster a supportive environment for self-improvement.
If you're a man looking to enhance your mental fitness or know someone who could benefit from such a community, this episode is a must-listen.
