We just wrapped up crafting the new branding for Recovery.com this summer. Branding projects are always exciting but this one was extra special as the team and I have spent the last 2 years working on this product. Everything we learned we’ve infused into this new visual identity. "Crafting a visual identity for Recovery.com allowed us to step further into the shoes of those seeking a life in recovery. We gained empathy for how difficult it can be to find treatment and also found an even deeper appreciation for just how much joy and peace life in recovery can bring." (Team: Denada, Unlock Health, & Recovery.com) Read more about the project here ⤵

Many competitive, high-achieving men haven't been taught to ask for help. It's seen as a weakness. We see "leaders" who never admit mistakes, never show doubt, never acknowledge anxiety. "I'm a self-made man” is something you hear a lot. But here's the truth: → No one is truly "self-made" → Everyone benefits from systems and infrastructure → We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us Think about it: → You went to schools built by others → You use roads and technology developed by others → You've had mentors, teachers, and coaches along the way The myth of the "self-made" person is just that — a myth. And it's a dangerous one. It keeps us from asking for help when we need it, acknowledging our struggles, and supporting others in theirs. Real strength? It's in vulnerability. It's in admitting when we need support. Because here's the reality: The most successful people I know are those who've mastered the art of asking for help. So, next time you're tempted to call yourself "self-made," pause. Instead, try: "I'm fortunate. I've had support. And I'm still growing." It's not just more accurate. It's more powerful.

Behavioral healthcare providers get high qualified patients when they work with us.  Why? The best care is specialized and personalized — and making the best match between patient and provider is critical to starting an effective recovery. Jeremiah Calvino and team built an intuitive platform with tons of filters that allows people to find behavioral health providers that are right for them. We don’t use tricks to get people to call some hotline. We just provide really good information in an easily-accessible way. So when people are ready for treatment, it’s a much higher probability that they’re connecting with the provider that’s right for them. This helps both sides in a two-sided marketplace. On one side: → We're making care access easier and simpler for patients → We're breaking down barriers to treatment On the other side: → We're helping providers run better businesses → We provide a new channel for providers to connect with patients → The more people use Recovery.com, the more people we can help The result? More people getting the help they need, when they need it. This is the power of a patient-centric, two-sided marketplace in behavioral health. And it’s the power of building a really great product. 

Do you know any Fortune 1000 CEOs who are openly in recovery? I have a theory about why we don’t hear about them: Stigma. It's the same stigma that keeps millions suffering in silence. The same stigma that delays treatment for years. The same stigma that costs lives. But imagine if we could change this. Imagine if leaders at the highest levels felt comfortable sharing their recovery stories. → It would inspire others to seek help earlier → It would normalize conversations about mental health and addiction in the workplace → It would show that recovery and success aren't mutually exclusive - they can go hand in hand I dream of a day when being in recovery is seen as a strength in leadership, not a liability. Because those who've faced their demons and come out stronger? They have resilience, empathy, and perspective that you can't learn in an MBA program. I think we should celebrate recovery at all levels of business.

This already feels like the biggest conference in the industry: The Global Exchange conference is only in its third year, but it’s done an incredible job bringing together remarkable speakers and attendees from all over the world. It was actually the first conference we ever sponsored, and it’s become a key event on our calendar. We always send a big contingent — from business development to research and content teams — because it’s a great place to learn and connect with people shaping the future of behavioral health. I’ll be there October 6-9, and I’m excited to see the energy and ideas that come out of it. What I’m most looking forward to: meeting experts from across the globe (like Fiona Y.!) who are leaders in their fields. I’m especially excited to hear Temple Grandin's presentation. Her work on autism and her ability to help the world understand “all kinds of minds” is truly inspiring. If you’re attending, let me know — would love to connect!
