In this episode James and JR address mental health challenges within startups, which can put a particular amount of stress on founders and employees. This episode is particularly poignant because the recording day marked the anniversary of the death of JR’s friend from mental health. We discuss how we've both had our own run-ins with depression and anxiety, what we've done to overcome it and how JR approaches this with his employees at Lemon Squeezy.
