The Zack Arnold Podcast Let's Talk About Mental Illness
In this episode I speak with Brian LaBelle and Kylee Wall, two members of my initial test group. This conversation was inspired by a blog that Kylee wrote for Creative Cow back in February entitled "How Are You Doing? Really..." that discusses the darker side of our business...mental illness. Brian, a post-production supervisor by trade, has firsthand experience with bipolar disorder as two of his brothers committed suicide because of the disease.
