AYA 015 Mike Veny – Mental Health Speaker and Drummer
My guest this week is mental health speaker and high-energy drum circle facilitator Mike Veny (@MikeVeny).
Mike and I spend a lot of time speaking on this episode about how he runs his business, (hint: he thinks like McDonald’s) as well as the importance of good mental health, and how he overcame his own challenges and turned them into a business. Even if you are struggling with depression or anxiety, there are many takeaways and recommendations in this episode that can benefit your life.
