Episode 82: Comedian turned charity founder on how personal experience of mental health can lead to hope for thousands.

Do More Good podcast

"My ambition has always been to make people laugh."
Dressed to impress, Jake Mills joins us this week. As an award-winning stand-up comedian, mental health campaigner and charity CEO, Jake brings his story and the best nickname we’ve had for a while to this episode.
We compare our experiences of stand-up comedy, secure James a job as a driver and take a tour through Kenneth’s wardrobe. There’s dealing with life, losing a close fight with a bouncer and make the comparison between how we view mental and physical health. We all cry at adverts, make the commitment to embrace the process and use cheap laughs to encourage everyone to get along.
Jake talks us through his own experiences of mental health, how he hid the truth from his friends and family before launching the charity which helps thousands of people every month to find the support they need.
