the mentl space
the mentl space is a podcast for open, honest conversations about mental health, wellbeing, leadership and the cultures that help people thrive.
Hosted by Scott Armstrong, founder of mentl, the show brings together leaders, psychologists, doctors, authors, athletes, entrepreneurs, advocates and people with lived experience to explore what mental health means in real life, at work, at home and in the community.
From workplace wellbeing, burnout, psychological safety and inclusion, to parenting, men’s mental health, resilience, digital wellbeing, leadership and the human stories behind change, each episode asks what it really takes to move from awareness to action.
This is a space for practical insight, personal honesty and better conversations about how we live, lead and support one another.
Because when we talk more openly, we make it easier for everyone to thrive.

CEOs 'must open their hearts and minds' if they want to survive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"If you are trying to do things the old-fashioned way, you won't make it."
That's the message to leaders from one CEO who has been at the top of his industry for decades.
The Chief Executive Officer of Fine Hygienic Holding, James Lafferty has often been described as one of the most unique and diversified CEO’s in the world today.
He is not only a successful CEO, he is an Olympic Coach, an award-winning journalist, a college professor, a competitive athlete, a philanthropist, husband and father of six.
James started from humble roots as a youth track and field coach. Three decades on his successful career includes building businesses and organizations across five continents for some of the world’s leading fast-moving consumer goods companies, including CEO roles within Procter and Gamble and Coca-Cola.
He sits down with 'the mentl space' to explore what leadership means today, how 'my way or the highway' no longer works.
And, in this powerful interview, he opens up about his personal experiences with suicide, it's lifelong impact, and calls for more awareness.
A must-listen for any CEO or manager who aspires to human leadership.
