According to a study by the National Institute of Mental
Health, 72% of entrepreneurs are directly or indirectly affected by
mental health issues compared to just 48% of non entrepreneurs. 49% of entrepreneurs deal with mental health issues
directly while only 32% of others experienced them.


 


Jeremy Evans owns and runs Thrice
Agency, a marketing firm, as well as providing entrepreneurship coaching for
hundreds of small business owners. Like any marketer worth his salt, he's
generated millions for his clients and employs psychology daily. But psychology
may not be enough to explain the global rise in mental illness. So Jeremy's
founded the world's first marketplace for peer support. The goal is to
incentivize people to talk about the heavy stuff and to prove that you're not
alone.  


 


” I was pre-med in college. Typical
premed student, studying hard and playing hard, until I woke up at 22. I had
applied to just one medical school after an elaborate scheme. My girlfriend, a
ballerina, was locked in place with her job, so I infiltrated a ritzy gala
where I was selling $50 glasses of champaign. I found my target, the president
of the medical school, and after the music was over, I got a private interview
with him. I got all the way to the dotted lines, looking at those APRs. 16.9%.
I remembered the 100 doctors I had worked with: they didn't even like their
work. Then my future wife got fired. She needed to move to keep dancing. I
stopped dancing and shut myself up in an unfinished Florida attic for a week.
She was jet-setting to audition after audition while I was sweating, fasting,
and crying like a baby. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to help people.
Lots of people. That's all I cared about. I was not some Randian psychopath. I
was predominantly concerned about the poor and believed everyone would be rich
if it weren't for greedy corporations. Until I had a vision”.
