He has lived through severe depression, the fear of being seen as a failure, the isolation that can come with mental health struggles, and the long process of finding help that actually worked. In this conversation, Brian shares how therapy, faith, medication, honest relationships, and the decision to speak publicly about his story helped him move forward.As CEO of Ryan Companies, Brian has also helped lead meaningful action around mental health in the workplace — including expanded counseling access, mental health safety training, Narcan on job sites and in offices, and a broader effort to reduce stigma in the construction industry.This conversation is about more than awareness. It is about what happens when someone is willing to say the truth out loud: mental health is real, mental health is common, and mental health is treatable.We also talk about the power of asking someone “How are you?” and actually staying present long enough to hear the answer.Brian’s previous talks on mental health:TEDx TalkQuell Foundation TalkIf this conversation resonates with you, subscribe to More Than Capable for more honest conversations about recovery, faith, family, grief, mental health, and becoming who we are called to be.If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone.
