If you're trying to understand mental health in our modern world, Kristen will break down the four areas that make up a person's internalized and externalized mental models.

We gave Comedian Jay Whitecotton (as seen on Fox, Hulu,and FusionTV) the microphone to discuss his thoughts on confidence, control, capitalism, and comedy.
Threshold (4 mins in): COOL CULTURE Jay's history growing up with mental illness. Reality testing. Why "fake it until you make it" is dumb. Humans invented social constructs. Everything is trial and error. Comedy over-rewards the negatives. Co-opting mental illness. Our personalities are dictated by the personalities around us. It’s ok to lie. Three rules for life.
