SOLD OUT! Deutsche Bank Hosts The REAL Summit The Intersection of Finance and Mental Health 🚨 📅 Oct 17 & 18, 2024 📍 Deutsche Bank HQ, NYC I’m beyond excited and so grateful as we approach THE REAL Summit, our first-ever event at the intersection of finance and mental health. First-time events are always a challenge, but to see this completely sold out with over 300 attendees is truly incredible! 🙌 A huge thanks to Deutsche Bank, especially Rachel (Duncan) Ochinegro and Jon Tilli for their leadership and commitment to mental health. Their support has been instrumental in making this happen by sponsoring and hosting the event. I also want to express my gratitude to our small but mighty team—Heather Kelly Justine Mana (N.) Nicolas L. Kiep —who jumped in and made this event a reality in such a short amount of time. I couldn’t be more thankful for all of them, and to our speakers, sponsors, and every single attendee. WOW! At the summit, we will be discussing: • Building out the mental health ecosystem 💡 • Announcing our partnership with MindSpark 360 and the House of Mental Health at DAVOS 2025 🌍 • Launching our $200M Mental Health Fund of Funds 💼 • Planning for REAL Mental Health Europe in April 2025 in London, bringing the intersection of finance and mental health to the global stage! 🌍💪 This journey has been deeply meaningful to me, and I’m so appreciative of everyone who has supported us along the way. Together, we’re making a real impact. 🙏💙 #MentalHealth #Finance #BuildingEcosystems #REALSummit #Thankful #Davos2025 #HouseOfMentalHealth #Leadership #Gratitude #Community #FirstTimeEvent

Announcing DAVOS Partnership with MindSpark 360 and the Launching of THE REAL Mental Health $200M Fund of Funds! I’m thrilled to announce that THE REAL Mental Health is partnering with MindSpark 360, led by Patricia Gall to put on the “House of Mental Health” event in #DAVOS. 🌍 MindSpark 360 is a global leader in driving innovation and trust, and it’s an incredible honor to be working with them to help build out the mental health ecosystem and support people across the globe. As Patricia Gall from MindSpark 360 said, “I’m excited to work together on this important initiative. Collaboration is key to solving big issues, and it’s clear that all hands on deck are needed. I’m thrilled to be partnering with a global leader like THE REAL.” Our $200 M Fund of Funds is being formed with the goal of helping to build out the mental health ecosystem. 🧠 This fund will channel institutional capital into funds focused on the global mental health crisis. With the mental health market projected to reach $560 billion by 2030 and over 970 million people affected by mental disorders worldwide, there’s an urgent need for both investment and collaboration to drive real impact. This work is deeply personal to me. Having struggled with my own mental health, I know how critical it is to expand resources and support systems. Mental health knows no boundaries—everyone is affected in some way. We’ll also be discussing this further at our event next week at The REAL Summit taking place on October 17 and 18, hosted by Deutsche Bank Bank at their HQ in NYC. Join us on this journey as we build the mental health ecosystem together, both in NYC and at the House of Mental Health in DAVOS, January 20-24, 2025! 💪 THE REAL Mental Health Foundation Ronald Diamond Justine Mana (N.)

To me, the most powerful statement in mental health is this: “I know exactly how you feel. I’ve felt that way before myself. I’ve been there myself. I have walked in your shoes.” 👟 When you say that to someone, it lifts a huge weight off their shoulders. It reminds us that we are all human and that we all have struggles. When we can truly relate to another person, it transcends age, race, creed, color, economic status—none of it matters. It’s a simple, human connection that cuts through everything. 💬❤️ I’m not sharing this because it’s something I studied in a textbook. It’s not about scientific data or research. It’s something I’ve learned firsthand from having thousands of conversations and speaking in front of tens of thousands of people—from billionaires 💼 and family offices to those I’ve met in mental health facilities, people who have been homeless, been in prison, struggled with addiction, young and old alike. I have walked in your shoes. 👣 What I’ve found is that connection, understanding, and shared experience are incredibly powerful. Saying, “I know exactly how you feel, I’ve felt that way before myself. I’ve been there myself. I have walked in your shoes,” allows people to breathe, knowing they’re not alone in their battles. It’s not about having all the answers; it’s about being there for one another. 💪🌍 Take this for what it’s worth. If it helps you or someone you know, then that’s what really matters. 🙏 #MentalHealth #Empathy #Connection #Support #YouAreNotAlone #MentalHealthAwareness #TogetherWeCan #Community #MentalHealthMatter THE REAL Mental Health Foundation The REAL Summit

The Thought is the Fear In the past, the fear of what might happen used to consume me. The “what ifs” kept me up at night 💤, and my mind would spin with worst-case scenarios. It wasn’t the actual event I was afraid of—it was the thought of what could go wrong. Looking back, I spent so much energy worrying about things that never even happened. When a negative event did occur, I’d feel a short burst of shock and anger 😡, but then I’d realize—what’s done is done. I’d eventually move into action and acceptance, but it took time to recognize the pattern. I’ve come to understand that my fear stemmed more from anticipating the unknown than from the event itself. This was a huge part of my own mental health journey 🌱. 💡 The good news is, I’ve learned to give those thoughts less power. Fear is just a thought—it’s not reality. I’ve shifted my focus to how I respond to situations, rather than getting stuck in the fear of what might happen. It’s made a huge difference in how I approach life and business. ✨ Try this yourself: When you’re feeling overwhelmed, ask yourself—“Is this fear coming from the thought of what might happen, or from the event itself?” You might find, as I did, that managing those thoughts can make all the difference 🧠.
