Thank you thank you thank you for doing this interview!! I'm a survivor of suicidal depression and anxiety, and an advocate for removing the stigma around mental health issues, and just knowing that millions will watch this makes me tear up a little. It's SO important for those suffering from mental illness to see that they are not alone, and to see that people they have a lot of respect for also suffer from mental illness. Giving people the courage to admit that they need help, and the courage to actually seek out and find that help, saves lives. Skip and Shannon, whether you realize it or not, you likely just saved some lives simply by doing this interview. And as for Metta, thank you for showing the world that vulnerability is courageous. You are truly badass, my friend!!

Always have respect for someone as authentic as he is, I believe greatness is being your authentic self in the highest and the lows and know how to develop into your better self day after day.
