Matt Helt – Mental Health, Depression and Mindfulness

Seedtable Podcast | European Tech, VC & Startups

My guest today is Matt Helt.

Matt is a Growth & Development Coach who works with startup founders and other leaders to help them navigate their way back to what really matters, both in their life and their work.

Before that, he was the program director of Techstars Startup Week, where he helped catalyze startup ecosystems in cities and countries around the world.

Matt was introduced to me by my friend Ian Hathaway, and I’m so glad we made this happen. He is one of the most thoughtful people I know, so it was an absolute pleasure to have him on the podcast.

Our conversation revolved around a whole bunch of topics. We covered Matt’s Life story and how he became a coach for founders and leaders; why mental health awareness matters; the dangers of self-medicating when in pain; why Matt calls himself a ‘serial empathizer’; How and why develop a mindfulness practice; Matt’s work running start-up week; and much much more.

I hope you enjoy this conversation, as much as I did.
