Depression Almost Broke Him: How Alex Wisch Fought Back and Won!

What happens when your mind turns against you for nearly a decade? Before becoming a peak performance coach, entrepreneur, investor, and mental health advocate, Alex Wisch spent years navigating severe depression, financial collapse, isolation, and the slow unraveling of identity that can happen when life stops moving in the direction you imagined. This conversation explores what it means to rebuild from the inside out. Not through quick fixes or motivational slogans, but through routine, acceptance, self awareness, and the uncomfortable process of learning how to keep going when certainty disappears. Fede Vargas and Alex talk about resilience, performance culture, mental health, burnout, recovery, and the tension between ambition and wellbeing. They also explore the quieter side of transformation. The small daily decisions that slowly reshape a person over time. This is a story about survival, reinvention, and finding meaning after life falls apart. If you’ve ever felt lost inside your own mind, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to begin again, this episode is for you.
