Depression doesn’t discriminate—even those in leadership positions face it. In this episode, I sit down with David Maeda, Director of Elections, to talk about depression, authenticity, and the often-overlooked mental health struggles that come with high-pressure roles. We also dive into the flaws in the mental health system and what needs to change. Tune in for a raw and honest conversation about resilience, vulnerability, and the power of being real.
