Finding peace of mind - despite depression, dyslexia and bipolar

from Create with Franz · host Franz Sidney

In this episode, we delve into a profound and often unseen battle with our guest, Jonathan Kemp. Despite being born into a world of privilege, Jonathan's early life was shaped by an inner struggle he couldn't name, leading him to believe he was never quite good enough.   'Work harder!'- He was told. But it wasn't that easy!   Join us as he shares his journey of living with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexia, and how these invisible challenges impacted his life and career. This conversation offers a gentle yet powerful exploration of resilience, self-discovery, and the vital importance of addressing mental health and neurodiversity before they become overwhelming.    Discover how Jonathan ultimately found clarity and purpose, becoming  an entrepreneur and creator of the scientifically validated SmartWisdom note-taking technique.   His new memoir, FINDING PEACE OF MIND, will be published on October 10, 2025. The SmartWisdom training will be gifted to anyone purchasing the book.
