Joel is also the founder of the Los Angeles Mental Wellness Company, Change Your Algorithm, which provides mental health support in person and online. He's also the host of Student Mental Health Show Breaking the Stigma, featured through the Education Technology Company Cheg.

I am excited because he is doing things that are changing the way that we think about, engage in and have conversations around mental health.

Please welcome Joel to the Rise Together Podcast.

What would the world look like if we all pushed ourselves to have candid conversations with people who didn't look like us, think like us, or live like us?

I'm Dave Hollis, and I'm on a mission to learn more about this world by meeting more of the people who live here.

Absolutely. When I first got into entertainment and I became an executive producer, I absolutely love the art of storytelling and being able to

construct people's stories and do that in an entertaining way. Meanwhile, while this is happening, I'm going through my own depression, anxiety, sense of unworthiness, suicidal ideations,
