When I was 19, my uncle, who had been living with us, killed himself. It motivated me to get my PhD in neuroscience. And it motivated me to do research on depression and anxiety at Stanford. During my post-doc, my cousin reached out to me. I didn’t realize it was a call for help and I didn’t get back in time. He killed himself as well. This motivated me to leave academia and start hunting for solutions instead of causes. I became a founding team member of Calm (AI/data). My co-founder was Calm’s founding engineer. We massively scaled Calm but we failed to get through to men. Nobody does though. There are 20k mental health apps. Many have been built for women. General use ones are used 2-3x more by women. I didn’t set out to work on men’s mental health but men are 80% of suicides. If we want to resolve this crisis we must find a way to get through to them. The reality is that men do care about their mental health. But men's culture around mental health is too different from women’s. We need solutions, based on science, that resonate with men. It’s why we need Mental. And why we all need to get mental. Science-based, action oriented tools to control stress, achieve discipline and live with purpose. Developed by me and a PhD clinician (also a professor). Taught by a comedian and a Master Chief Navy SEAL. This is v1 of our app. More protocols and teachers - athletes, celebrities, businessmen, and psychologists -- coming soon. Change your daily routines and change your mind. If you need to go deeper, work with AI versions of legendary men. They have been turned into half therapists, half coaches. Men want a combination. Advice, accountability and a push to action, but also an ability to go deep to help you understand limiting assumptions and patterns that are holding you back. A lot more coming soon.

@anson_whitmer thank you for dedicating your time to tackling the biggest preventable cause of death in men. One question I had was on your choice of stress, indiscipline and lack of purpose as the focus of the app. Are these cited as the most significant drivers of poor mental health? Finally congrats on a great launch video, your passion for the subject and the app itself really comes across which is refreshing to see. Best of luck with the launch!

The problem is real, and this solution is real(ly) good. I've been using it for 3 or 4 months and find that the team's insights into what clicks with men specifically really makes a difference. It's not just all woo-woo love yourself stuff that you get in a lot of generic apps that seem aimed at women, and it's not just being shouted at by David Goggins either. What a unique idea to hire a comedian to deliver insights rather than a regular voice actor! A spoonful of humour really helps the mental medicine go down.

@anson_whitmer The story is heartbreaking, and it's impressive to see your dedication on this journey. As a marketer, I have worked with mental health & wellbeing apps; on average, more than 65% of the users are women. What works for women might not work for men - by nature. We have different hormones in different quantities in our bodies. So, that's a great product to give men room for customized growth! Hope you take the top place!!

Wow, this is an excellent idea! ✨ I am really excited about how this is received, and I hope that many men will start using this app! I will absolutely recommend it to my male friends - I'm sure they'll love it! The world needs more awareness of the struggles that men face, and I want to thank you for creating this app which I hope will help lots of people out there!

This app will change your life. It’s inexpensive, creates real results that are measurable without stringing you along. It’s the best app for lifestyle change and I’ve tried them all; meditation, yoga, stoicism, etc.
