That same January, two well-known entrepreneurs, Jody Sherman and Aaron Swartz, committed suicide. By May, my depression had lifted. After coming out of my depressive episode, I decided that one of my goals over the rest of my life would be to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in entrepreneurship. With friends like Jerry Colonna and Dave Morin also committed to this topic, I've addressed the stigma, and many other issues, surrounding depression and mental health.

In 2018, shortly after the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, I received an email from Mahendra Ramsinghani. We had been friends for more than five years and co-authors of a book entitled Startup Boards: Getting the Most Out of Your Board of Directors. Mahendra told me that he was starting to work on his third book (this one), to be The Resilient Founder. While there were some blog posts, video interviews, and articles in major magazines around entrepreneurship and mental health, no one had yet taken on the topic in book form.
