Bookedin CEO Talks Leadership & Mental Health on ‘The Unforget Yourself Show’
Running your own business means the work rarely stops when the day ends. There’s always another item to follow up with, an issue to sort out, or a decision that can’t wait.
Over time, that pressure can take a real toll on your mental health, and many business owners don’t stop to deal with it until something gives.
That’s exactly what Bookedin’s founder and CEO, Mike Iwasiow, talks about on “The Unforget Yourself Show” — a podcast hosted by Mark Adams and Katie Marie.
The show focuses on honest conversations with business owners about the personal struggles behind building a company, and this episode is no exception.
In the episode, Mike shares what it’s been like to build Bookedin over 12 years and counting, from adapting to market shifts to working through the leadership challenges that come with a growing business.
He also opens up about managing bipolar disorder throughout that journey and why protecting your mental health matters just as much as any business goal. From there, Mike talks about what changed once he stopped trying to handle everything all by himself.
So, if you’ve ever felt like your business can’t run without you, this episode may hit close to home. Hearing someone speak openly about these challenges can make it easier to spot them in yourself and make changes before you hit a breaking point.
You can listen to the full episode on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
