In this episode we were extremely lucky to get Kenneth Reitz on
the show to discuss his experiences when he had a mental health
event that resulted in a stay in the hospital and some major life
changes as a result.


Normally we’re a comedy podcast that focusses on technology, but
issues surrounding mental health are very important to us. We’re
extremely grateful that Kenneth came on and was very open about
what happened to him.


We hope you enjoy what was a great, open, freewheeling discussion
about how the symptoms of some mental illnesses appear beneficial
from the outside.
