The Last Mile of Mental Health: John Wiley on Breaking the Silence and Healing a Nation

What does it look like to be the architect behind a global system of 346 facilities responsible for the mental wellbeing of millions? On this episode of The Jay Walker Podcast, I’m sitting down with a man who sees far beyond the spreadsheets of a healthcare conglomerate—John Wiley, the Director of Business Development for Fairfax Behavioral Health.John’s journey didn’t start in a boardroom; it began in the public housing of Chicago, where a lack of understanding surrounding mental health led to the tragic loss of his sister at just 35 years old. Driven by that "calling," John has spent over 25 years transitioning from chasing a check to becoming a vital resource for families in crisis.Podcast Sponsor DealsCode for ALL brands: JAYWALKER HyperNatural: 20% OFFPremium, naturally performing apparel.
