#7 Depression and Entrepreneurship - with Rand Fishkin and Jerry Colonna

After years of rapid growth and expansion, followed by a serious year of depression, Rand Fishkin, founder and former CEO of Moz, found himself in a room surrounded by VC backed CEO's and entrepreneurs where the question was posed: "How many of you struggle seriously with depression or severe anxiety or emotional issues?" He watched almost every person raise their hand. It's shocking how universal depression is in startups. For anyone struggling with depression, it's helpful to know you're not alone. In this podcast, which is slightly different than past episodes, Jerry converses with Rand about his experience - his "loop," how shame and guilt are at times his driver, the importance of understanding one's emotional state, and how he's made progress in coming out of his own depression, including his one piece of advice for entrepreneurs or anyone dealing with their own depression.
