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.

Leading with kindness: The ROI of compassion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Can you lead with kindness? Is there an ROI to compassion?
Well one world leader certainly believes so.
"You can be anxious, sensitive, kind and wear your heart on your sleeve. You can be a mother, or not, an ex-Mormon, or not, a nerd, a crier, a hugger – you can be all of these things, and not only can you be here – you can lead."
These were the powerful words of former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in her farewell address to the parliament in April.
We put the same questions about kindness to entrepreneur Shadi Moazami, founder and director of MAIA communications agency in the UAE.
Once criticised for being 'too mothering' in her corporate role, she discusses balancing the pressures of the business world having founded her own company with the wellbeing needs of her team, and herself.
And, she explores on 'the mentl space' podcast, the true ROI of kindness.
