Today we sit down with Jackson Polatnick, a traveler, business school student, and dedicated member of The Scooty Fund, which he joined in honor of his late friend, Will. Jackson opens up about his journey with mental health, the misconceptions around masculinity, and how true strength lies in vulnerability and self-awareness.
He shares practical tips for initiating meaningful conversations, embracing routines like journaling and exercise while traveling, and finding peace through connection with others. Jackson also delves into the intersection of mental health and the corporate world, reflecting on how stepping away from unhealthy work habits—like nonstop emails and neglecting personal time—helped him rediscover balance and authenticity.
This episode is full of insights on building community, staying curious, and prioritizing what truly matters, whether in life, work, or personal growth.
