Episode 07. Tim Perreira: Stigmas in Men's Mental Health
Tim Perreira is a former college athlete turned tech sales pro, but he struggled to find purpose after sports. Years of job hopping, while having 'success' in sales roles, left him feeling unfulfilled and looking for answers for why nothing was working for him. He did all the right things to become successful but it left him experiencing depression and feeling anxious.
After being fired 4 months into the pandemic for not hitting quota, Tim made the decision to follow his passion for mental health + wellness and create a company focused on improving the health of men. His purpose now is to help men get mentally and physically healthy, and crush the stigmas that have plagued men's health.
