My core issue is that I didn't know how to handle my emotions or process them healthily.”Tim: “Addiction doesn't discriminate. It can just come up in many forms whether it's pills, or dugs, or alcohol, sex, love, social media, work, I believe that everyone has some form of hook or addiction challenge.”Collin: “It's so common that in a sales organization, it's like, leave your personal stuff at home. When you're here, you need to focus, you need to hit your activities, you need to build your pipeline, you need to hit your quota.”Tim: “It's one thing for two people in the US to speak openly about mental health. But when you start looking at cultures in Asia and India, it's like we don't speak about this.”Tim: “It's never been about me or whoever's representing Uncrushed. We share our stories to create a space of vulnerability. Really when we create the events it's about holding space for other employees to share their stories. And it just normalizes it.”Tim: “The whole point of Uncrushed is not from the point of view of someone who's already asked for help. It's before that. The whole point that we're trying to do is hopefully you'll connect with the story. You'll hear not only what they struggled but what they did to navigate those challenges and find the light.”Learn more about Tim in the links below:Website: https://www.uncrushed.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timclarke/Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.
