Episode Synopsis

"Authenticity is freedom." Radz is reflecting on a decade-long journey of learning to stop hiding parts of himself. What started as panic attacks that wouldn't stop led to a bipolar diagnosis at 28, a brief stint in jail, and eventually a complete reframing of how he shows up in the world. Radz shares his experience navigating mental health in tech sales, the difference between Western and Eastern perspectives on bipolar disorder, and why he now leads with his full story in job interviews–criminal record, mental health struggles, and all. By refusing to compromise on authenticity, Radz teaches us how to own your narrative instead of letting it own you.
