World Mental Health Day Festival MainStage Talk: The Price of Passion

About the Event

Founding a company is often romanticized, but the emotional toll it takes is rarely discussed. From euphoric wins to crushing setbacks, the entrepreneurial journey is anything but stable. Entrepreneurs share the hidden costs of success—the sleepless nights, personal sacrifices, and emotional exhaustion.

In this session Andy Dunn (Founding CEO of Bonobos and Pie) and Julie Rice (Co-Founder of SoulCycle and Peoplehood) open up about the extreme highs and the dark lows that define their path and provide an honest look at how they navigate mental health challenges while chasing their dreams.
