55. How Laughter Can Help Heal with Greg Kettner

They say that laughter is the best medicine in the world, well, when it comes to mental illness it's not just medicine, it's a door to reconnecting with those around you.  Welcome back to another Warriors Unmasked episode! Today, Clint and I talk with key-note speaker, virtual business coach, mental health advocate, and all-around stand-up guy, Greg Kettner. He takes us on his journey of mental health when, two years ago, he was deemed along with thousands of others around the U.S. as "non-essential". What started off as a devastating blow ended with the realization of a dream and a heart for those who are struggling.  Join us as we talk about Greg's passion for helping others who are battling mental illness and the power of laughter that helps him. You'll learn why it's so important for us to laugh, how to make powerful connections with others, and how the gift of vulnerability can change your life for the better. Plus! Greg's practical tips and tricks for adding laughter into your life every day, and the self-care he practices to keep "working happy".
