1: Mental Health and You: A Sales Adventure W/ Belal Batrawy

We've come a long way in the last 20 years. There was a time when the admission of depression would be a one-way ticket out of your career. Things still aren't all sunshine and hugs.  Some problems: 1. Serious mental illnesses that are treatable like Schizophrenia, Bipolar, BPD and many others are still seen as leperous to hiring managers and leaders in general 2. Sales reps deal with rejection, stress, and conflict at a more constant and high level than most professions yet there is no training or preparation for how to cope 3. Telling your peers or manager about depression and anxiety can still be risky which leads to sales reps repressing their emotions. This almost always end in breakdown and burn out. Today, Belal Batrawy and I dig into these topics and see what gold we can find.  Connect with Belal here Contact Patrick here or email him at [email protected] Intro/outro music by Steven Lee Rachel.
