My name is Sam Webb. In 2013 we lost our good mate to suicide and no one saw it coming. The stigma and shame around talking about mental health issues was a contributing factor in Dwayne's suicide—like many others. I am grateful that I've been able to connect with and share epic conversations with some of the most fascinating people on the planet—entrepreneurs, leaders in business, entertainment, sports, science, health, and more—to elevate the conversations around mental health and to empower you to live your best life.
