What is up everybody? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and CEO of Morning Brew coming to you with the first Founders Journal of the week after a nice long weekend.

For those of you joining for the first time, the Founders Journal is my

daily audio diary made public where I talk about the biggest wins, losses,

lessons, and challenges behind the scenes at Morning Brew.

As always, I am joined by my co-pilot, my co-audio lead,

Joshua Kaplan, Josh asks smart questions to push the conversation further.

And today we're going to need a whole lot of smart questions out of you because we are talking

about the value of therapy in my life as a professional, but also personally.

Let's hop into it.

You've always been super up front about this.

In the office, with everybody that you see a therapist, right?

Yeah.

And it's such an interesting thing because I don't think I grew up in a family where talking about therapy was like this super open thing. You know, like I grew up in a finance family dad was in sales and trading

talking about feelings around the dinner table was not the topic of discussion it was like

talking about you know like city groups earnings that's what we talked about so I do find it

interesting that I feel very open to talk about it because I think I was the first one in

my family to do therapy but it's it you know to me it's so commonplace and it's something that like I take a lot of pride in because the value I get out of it that I feel absolutely no shame in the fact that I do this.

And has it changed over time as to why you go to therapy

and I think what we're going to get to is like the different types of therapy about it,

but how is it, how's your relationship with therapy changed over the past couple years?

Yeah, so I mean I've been doing therapy. your relationship with therapy changed over the past couple of years?

Yeah, so I mean I've been doing therapy.
