In this episode, we dive into the heart of We Rise to Our Systems, an event powered by Plug & Play and supported by EDC Frisco and Hello Studios. This conversation was not just about entrepreneurship or mental wellness—it was about creating a space where vulnerability meets strength, and where systems are built with intention to support both our personal and professional well-being.

Host Jas Kirk guides you through a deeply impactful conversation, featuring two incredible panelists: Mark Clayton, founder of LIVV Audio, and Michael Ledo, founder of RISE Family Office. Both Mark and Michael share their unique journeys, perspectives on mental resilience, and the importance of aligning our visions with a greater purpose.

Mark speaks powerfully about how true mental resilience isn't just about bouncing back from setbacks, but about staying grounded through life’s challenges. His journey as an athlete and entrepreneur has shown him that embracing vulnerability is key to enduring the hard times and finding strength through them.

Michael, on the other hand, brings to light the importance of having a clear vision and the role awareness plays in shaping that vision. He shares how vulnerability in business—allowing ourselves to be open and aware—can lead to profound transformation and untapped opportunities.

In this episode, Jas and the panelists discuss the courage to begin uncomfortable conversations, the importance of building intentional systems that support our mental health, and how joy can emerge from leaning into discomfort. Entrepreneurship is a journey full of highs and lows, but this conversation is a reminder that growth happens when we embrace vulnerability, show up authentically, and align our actions with our true values.

This is more than just a conversation—it’s a call to rise together, to build with intention, and to foster a community that prioritizes mental wellness as much as success. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a wellness advocate, or someone simply looking for a bit of inspiration to face your own challenges, this episode will empower you to lean into vulnerability, embrace discomfort, and keep building with authenticity.
