The Executive Who Had a Breakdown and Found the Secret to Healing Community | Wall Street to Wellness
Executive Coach Shawn Lesser had what looked like the perfect life, but it ended in a full mental breakdown where he confessed to his wife, "Please freaking kill me." He was then checked into a psych ward, but the real healing, and the true medicine- came from the most unexpected people.
In this raw and honest conversation, Shawn shares the journey of hitting rock bottom and building The Rail, a mental health foundation based on the simple power of conversation and community.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- The Shocking Truth: Why the psych ward made his problem worse, and why institutional care often fails high-achievers.
- The Unconventional Cure: The incredible story of how a former prison inmate and a homeless man became his mental health sponsors.
- The Core Thesis: Why "People Are the Medicine"—and why human connection is more powerful than any pill or therapist alone.
- Breaking the Silence: Why it's normal for men to struggle, and how sharing your story instantly makes others feel safe to share theirs.
- The Simple Action: How to get a conversation started with someone in a dark place, or how to ask for help yourself.
