In this episode, I sit down with Vishal, founder of OnwardShift — a mental health platform created for people in the construction industry. With over 15 years on the tools, Vish has seen firsthand the pressure, the silence, and the heavy expectations that shape so many lives on site.
He’s on a mission to break the stigma around mental health in construction and to advocate for fair treatment and genuine support not just for men, but for anyone who’s ever felt they had to “just get on with it.”
Vish shares the story of how he reached a breaking point a moment where ending his life felt like the only option and the courage it took to choose something different.
This conversation is about honesty, hope, and what it means to build a community where no one has to hold their struggles alone.
