Community, Contribution, and Courage: Blueprint for Overcoming Adversity

Join @Eric Berg and host @Constantin Bo Morun in a powerful conversation about mental health awareness, building community, and leveraging technology for social good.

Eric shares his personal story of overcoming bullying and adversity thanks to the power of community he found in martial arts. He explains why it's so important we shift from being merely consumers to active contributors in our communities. Learn why Eric volunteers his time and talents as a tech advisor for Mission Save A Life, a nonprofit dedicated to mental health advocacy and suicide prevention.
