Mental Health in Tech Podcast Interview

Mental health is always tough to talk about, especially in an industry that, to me, often rewards ego over vulnerability. I still find it tough even after having written about my own chronic depression and exploring UX case studies about it.

But that’s exactly the sort of discussions that Schalk Venter and Schalk Neethling host on their Mental Health in Tech podcast. They invited me on the show and we got deep into what it’s like to do your best work when you’re not feeling your best. We got so deep into it that we didn’t realize two hours blew right by, and the interview was split into two parts, the second of which published today.
