This week Off The Cuff returns to celebrate our veterans with an interview with Steve Chang, Founder of the Veteran Transition Accelerator Headlamp. Steve is a retired Special Forces Officer and graduate of The Wharton School of Business where he received his MBA. In this episode, Christina and Steve unpack the huge variety of skills and qualifications that veterans bring to the job market. Steve explains how Headlamp intersects with the Department of Defense’s Skillbridge program and what makes them unique within the accelerator space. 

Headlamp believes that humans are more important than hardware and that optimizing human potential is the most pressing issue to solve for our nation. They abhor the wasting of talent and do this by being fanatical about eliminating any friction that gets in the way of optimizing talent. Their current focus is on finding transitioning veterans the right job building a veteran transition accelerator consisting of a community of communities, access to opportunity, and last-mile training. Their product is Skillbridge-as-a-Service, to connect veterans and employers in Headlamp Fellowships and they invite all veterans to join the platform.

Veterans, especially junior enlisted, are undervalued by the workforce for many reasons. And while veterans have good access to resources and to effective expert advice to call attention to their value, Headlamp thinks that the problem is structural and that these solutions can only “treat the symptoms”. Headlamp believes that addressing the structural elements of Information Asymmetry and Friction will magnify the impact of existing resources.

If you or your company are interested in how Headlamp can provide top-level candidates for your business please feel free to reach out to Steve at steve@myheadlamp.com. Thanks for taking the time to listen to the pod and in doing so supporting both our retired and active service veterans who are serving all over the world to keep us safe!

Topics Include:

• Steve’s Experience In the Armed Forces
• The Current Job Market For Veterans
• Unpacking and Understanding the Skillbridge Program
• Why Veterans Make Such Incredible Job Candidates
• How Headlamp Is Equipping Veterans For Their Future

Mental health is hard enough to tackle when you’re a teenager or adult. For this week’s guest, mental health campaigner, public speaker and vlogger Jonny Benjamin, it’s been a lifelong journey. 

“My parents took me to see a psychologist when I was five. So I didn't understand it. No one explained it to me because no one did right back then.” – Jonny (01:26)

Jonny’s documentaries on mental health and suicide have been presented on the BBC, his ThinkWell school program has seen major success in UK secondary schools, and his youth mental health charity, Beyond, was launched in 2018.

Today, Jonny joins me to talk about living with schizoaffective disorder, getting his start as a mental health campaigner on YouTube, and the benefits of finally finding the right therapist. 

Jonny also shares how cognitive behavioral therapy has changed his life, the viral #FindMike campaign of 2014, and his youth mental health charity, Beyond. 

“It's been a long journey. I've got a psychiatrist now that I can trust, that I can talk to. I've got a therapist now – it took me like 13, 14 years to find the right support. Like once I found my therapist now, it clarified everything. I feel I was finally listening to myself and just instead of just listening to what other people wanted to tell me and, and you know, I was actually looking out for myself.” – Johnny (51:14)

In This Episode

• (01:12) Signs of Jonny’s schizoaffective disorder at 5 years old
• (05:30) What schizoaffective disorder is
• (14:28) Jonny’s first experience with psychosis 
• (17:32) Stigma surrounding mental health and sexuality in a Jewish family
• (20:21) Jonny’s “guardian angel”
• (25:42) #FindMike campaign
• (30:20) The mental pressure of of #FindMike and Jonny’s subsequent breakdown
• (38:29) Finally telling his parents about his struggle with mental health
• (43:54) “I literally broke down in tears.”
• (51:05) The difficulty – and joy – of finding the right therapist 
• (56:51) Jonny’s youth mental health charity, Beyond
• (1:02:34) Are you happy today?

Our Guest

Mental health campaigner, public speaker and vlogger Jonny Benjamin was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder at 20. After his YouTube channel documenting life with his condition went viral, Johnny became a mental health advocate and public speaker, with BBC documentaries, a school program for UK secondary schools, and a youth charity for teens and young adults.

A history-rich episode is made possible with retired Dickinson Police Chief Duane "Bucky" Wolf. Chief Wolf was a career officer within the department, rising through the ranks before ultimately becoming chief between 1992-1998. With an emphasis on training and professionalism, Chief Wolf was a pivotal player in advancing the department from the early "Marshal mentality" into the professional organization it is today. 

Drawing upon his experiences in the Marine Corps, Chief Wolf emphasized the importance of comradery and family. His service continued after his retirement with many years on the Stark County Board of Commissioners. He has been a proud patriot of both country and community, and we are thankful for him joining us on this episode!

Mental health can be a tough topic for men – and it can be even tougher when you’re part of a marginalized group.

On this week’s episode, I sat down with public speaker and author Nate Cannon to talk about his work as a mental health advocate in the trans community, which faces a disproportionate rate of mental health challenges including depression, anxiety and attempted suicide.

“We've seen numbers coming out, for example, upwards of 55% to 60% of transgender men or boys have had suicidal thoughts just within the last year. And wow … that is very alarming. And so if I can help talk with folks and express some education and awareness around how intense the mental health symptoms can be around gender dysphoria, and how important it is to honor that identity, I wanna do everything I can to do that.” – Nate (11:07)

Nate, who is a transgender man, also shared about the stigma around mental health and being trans in the LGBTQ+ community, his own experience transitioning, and the importance of supporting kids who may be questioning their identity.

“If we don't allow [gender] exploration, I worry that there's going to be an exacerbation of baseline mental health challenges, which as we've discussed is already a significant issue for the trans population, especially kids right now. So I do think that it's important that we have those conversations and be open about it.” – Nate (28:12)

As a survivor of two suicide attempts and as a person who lives with mental illness, Nate also discusses his work in mental health advocacy, and talks about the life-saving freedom of living your truth. 

“I do know that if I hadn't transitioned, I wouldn't be here. I would not be alive today. …  I am still here. I am still alive. I'm still breathing. Thankfully I'm cognitively intact and able to share my story in a way that hopefully it’ll maybe give someone pause before they consider taking their lives.” – Nate (1:08:00)

In This Episode

• (01:16) Nate’s story and how he got involved with mental health advocacy 
• (03:52) Stigma around mental health and being trans in the LGBTQ+ community
• (07:17) Nate’s childhood experiences figuring out his gender identity 
• (18:01) How playing hockey helped Nate realize he was trans, not lesbian
• (24:09) Nate’s advice for parents of trans kids
• (36:52) The process of transitioning, and the challenges Nate encountered accessing gender-affirming procedures as a person with mental health and neurological conditions
• (45:39) Differences in social expectations Nate’s experienced since transitioning
• (50:30) The challenges of living as a trans person in a social system not built for trans people
• (1:06:00) How Nate would’ve handled his transition differently

Our Guest

Acclaimed public speaker and author Nate Cannon has spoken about his experiences as a transgender man living with mental illness and disability at government agencies, univiersites and non-profits across the country. 

He also provides organizational training in areas including diversity and inclusion, crisis intervention, disability justice and other LGBTQ+ issues.

He is the author of two memoirs, “Running On A Mind Rewired,” and “Dying to Hang with The Boys.”

I sat down with Zac Clark to find out. 

“I know today the truth about my existence, which is whatever I've been through is my most important and greatest asset. And it gives me, I believe, an advantage against the world. It's just good to be here.”

In this episode, Zac shares his story – including a brain tumor, convincing a doctor to remove his gallbladder for access to pain pills, why he still remembers a bank teller named Rhonda Jackson, and how his recovery allowed him to be there for his family during a crisis.

“I was the first one on the plane to Florida. … And the only reason I got to do that was because of my recovery, you know? Like I'm here and I'm present. When someone needs help, I know how to show up. No drug or drink or whatever was gonna give me the moxie to show up the way I showed up over that.”

Zac also discusses dating during recovery, “The Bachelorette,” starting his companies – Release Recovery, an addiction services organization, and Release Recovery Foundation, a nonprofit to help those struggling with addiction – and shares how you can get help if you’re in need.

“The first step is always asking for help. Once someone is at that place of asking for help, that's the hardest thing to do. And if you are listening to this, please, please, please, don't be shy. You can always reach out.”

In This Episode

• Zac’s first time drinking as a child, and the dangerous lesson he learned (02:37)
• How Zac’s relationship with alcohol and drugs evolved through college (07:34)
• When Zac knew he had a problem (11:12)
• The importance of family in the recovery process (12:29)
• Zac’s first time in rehab (15:04)
• Rock bottom or rebirth? (24:27)
• Zac’s advice for people experiencing addiction alone (32:20)
• Starting Release Recovery Foundation (41:19)
• Zac’s experience on “The Bachelorette” and staying strong in his recovery (44:05)

Our Guest

Zac Clark is the founder of Release Recovery, an addiction services organization that helps people reclaim their lives from addiction. 

He serves on the board of Release Recovery Foundation, a nonprofit that helps those struggling with addiction to access professional treatment including inpatient/outpatient treatment centers, interventionists, recovery coaches, therapists, and psychiatrists. 

Zac was also a contestant on season 16 of “The Bachelorette.”

“Crazy,” “heart attack kid,” “nuts.” 

This week’s Off The Cuff guest, Dr. Justin Puder, heard it all as a kid who grew up struggling with mental health in small-town Ohio. That struggle, as well as the early loss of his father and brother from cancer and drug addiction respectively, introduced young Dr. J to therapy for the first time. 

“[The therapist] didn't call it meditation. She didn't call it mindfulness. She's literally like, ‘We're just gonna do something together here.’ And she had me lay down and essentially she did a guided meditation. … I remember within minutes, like just two minutes into it, like I had opened my eyes because I was so excited. It was the first time I experienced peace in months.”

The experience inspired him to become a licensed psychologist himself. Now, Dr. J primarily works with teens at his Florida practice, where he specializes in mindfulness-based approaches to anxiety and stress reduction. 

In this episode, Dr. J discusses growing up around mental health stigma at home and at school, the life-saving importance of destigmatizing therapy, the dangers of self-diagnosis, and how social media can both help and harm mental health. 

“We've gone from like, again, never talking about mental health to sort of swinging. I feel like the pendulum swung far the other way, where it's just like, everybody wants to have the sticker label of some diagnosis. [But] clinging to a label isn't actually going to help you, in the long run, understand how to get better.”

If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, Dr. J shares some tips: 

• Work through a mental health workbook written by a licensed expert. You’ll learn more about the psychological principles that make therapy work, and gain a better understanding of yourself in the process.
• Journal. You’ll become more comfortable putting your thoughts, fears and struggles into words, which can help you when you decide to talk to a therapist.
• Remember that your well-being and mental health are worth the effort.

“For so many people out there, like if you're going through something mental health-wise and you're in that state [of panic and despair], I hope you can hear me and Danny that it can and does get better.”

In This Episode

• The real-life childhood trauma that inspired Dr. J to become a therapist (04:30)
• Dr. J’s first panic attack and the stigma of mental health in the Midwest (08:18)
• The “breaking point” that led to Dr. J’s first therapy session (13:25)
• Overcoming the stigma of therapy for teens (15:24)
• The cultural and regional differences that contribute to stigmatization (18:48)
• Social media and its impact on mental health (23:32)
• The future of neuroscience in mental health treatment (26:35)
• “Dr. Google” and the dangers of self-diagnosis (33:25)
• Starting the therapy process (39:19)
• The relationship between therapy and psychotropic medication (58:39)
• The progress of mental health destigmatization in schools (01:09:33)

Our Guest

Dr. Justin Puder is a Florida-based licensed psychologist who earned degrees in psychology from Kent State University, Florida Atlantic University and Auburn University. He specializes in anxiety and stress reduction using mindfulness-based approaches. 

Dr. Puder especially enjoys working with teens. As a mental health influencer, he uses social media (@amodertherapist on Instagram) to crush mental health stigma, and has worked with outlets including Vice, The DailyDot and LA Mag.

What does mental health look like in one of the most cutthroat industries in the world? 

Can a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis ever be a good thing?

And must the show always go on? 

In this week’s episode, actress Nikka Graff Lanzarone talks mental stamina, why certain mental health conditions go underdiagnosed in women and the “epiphany” of being diagnosed with ADHD at 37.

“There's also like a certain amount of grieving that comes with [being diagnosed], that you're like, ‘Oh, so it didn't have to be like this my whole life. Cool.’”

Nikka also explores how her battle with depression and anxiety shaped her as a performer, and the natural therapy of dance.

“When you're dancing, you don't have to deal with any of that. All you have to do is say whatever it is you're trying to say and you don't have to talk. … I get a break from having to be myself and dealing with my s*** for two and a half hours. I get a break from me.”

For Nikka, an important facet of her acting career is something that goes hand in hand with mental health – the work she does as a labor advocate. 

“We are desperately trying to change that [‘show must go on’] culture. I'm an elected official in my union also and part of like a grassroots progressive organization that [asks], but why  … why? It doesn't have to be this way. Who said it had to be this way?”

In This Episode

• Nikka’s showbiz family and how she got her start (02:31)
• The journey to Nikka’s recent ADHD diagnosis “epiphany” (10:10)
• How ADHD affects men and women differently, and why it goes undiagnosed in many women (12:29)
• Connecting with family members who don’t have mental health conditions, and the “relief” of starting medication (14:35)
• The role of mental stamina in an emotionally and physically taxing industry (20:45)
• Nikka’s labor advocacy and the myth of “the show must go on” (28:57)
• Performance as therapy (33:11)
• The impact of COVID-19 on Broadway and Nikka’s mental health (36:03)
• Dealing with anxiety as a performer (43:39)

Our Guest

Actress Nikka Graff Lanzarone is a showbiz veteran with credits ranging from Velma Kelly in Broadway’s “Chicago” to hit TV shows like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Inventing Anna.” 

As a labor advocate, Nikka serves as a councilor of Actors’ Equity Association and is a delegate to the New York City Central Labor Council. She is also on the board of the Actors’ Equity Foundation and is a core member of #FairWageOnstage.
