Mental Health in Tech with Andy Johns

Software engineering can be a surprisingly grueling career. It is both physically and mentally demanding to sit in front of a screen for hours on end producing code.

Andy Johns is our guest in this episode. Andy previously worked on growth at Facebook, Twitter, and Quora as an early employee. He’s also an investor in Robinhood, Webflow, and Reforge. Andy joins the show to discuss Mental health in tech, burnout, and work/life balance. Check out the show notes to learn more about Andy’s work, specifically his substack blog on Mental Health.
