Listen "Eps 9: Simplifying Mental Health for Entrepreneurs w/ Dr. Mark Mayfield"
Episode Synopsis
On this Ashes to Apex episode, Dr. Mark Mayfield—licensed professional counselor and assistant professor at Colorado Christian University—joins Joshua to unpack the mental health realities entrepreneurs face: loneliness, burnout, anxiety, and the pressure to "have it all together." Drawing from his new book The Mental Health Handbook for Ministry (and themes from The Path to Wholeness), Dr. Mayfield translates complex psychology into simple, actionable steps any leader, parent, or founder can use. We talk proactive care vs. crisis mode, why exercise beats "quick fixes," how hope and service literally rewire the brain, and practical ways to build community so depression can't grow in the dark. Whether you lead a team, a business, a church—or your family—this conversation is a grounded guide to staying healthy while pursuing purpose.
