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.

Is hustle culture bad for startups?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We live in a world that glorifies 'hustle culture' for entrepreneurs, but does it work?
Those brave enough to start their own businesses are expected to work nights and weekends, sacrifice family time and even ignore their own health, wellbeing and mental health, as they chase their dreams.
And yet, with all that some 90 percent of all startups fail.
Is there an alternative approach that embraces hard work, but also puts the health of the entrepreneur at the heart of the new business?
What impact would that have on the success ratio?
This is just one of the questions longstanding Dubai businessman Phil Bedford - aka The Rebel Networker - tackles in the latest episode of 'the mentl space'.
