Mark Mangiola: Balancing Business, Coaching, and Mental Health
One of the things I mentioned in my book is that it's tough for men, whether they know they are depressed or not or have other mental health issues, and when they don't get checked and taken care of, that's when risky behavior shows up with either drinking or drugging or violence, domestic abuse and stuff like that.
Ever wonder how a venture capitalist finds time to coach track and field? Meet Mark Mangiola, a man who juggles high-stakes business decisions with his passion for mentoring young athletes. In this episode of 'Time Out for Mental Health', Mark dives into the importance of mental health across all ages and how societal norms around masculinity can often hinder men from seeking the help they need.
He shares candid reflections on his own experiences, emphasizing the critical need for self-assessment and creating a supportive culture both in the workplace and on the track. Mark's insights are a powerful reminder that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a step towards a healthier, happier life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, youth coaching, or breaking free from outdated beliefs about masculinity.
