Watch our program with Andy Dunn, Co-Founder of the menswear startup Bonobos. Hear about his unconventional entrepreneurial journey to success as he built a multimillion-dollar brand while battling bipolar disorder. His book, Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, was named by Forbes Magazine as “one of the most anticipated books of 2022.” Hear how Dunn, against all odds, created a digitally native, direct-to-consumer business when he was fresh out of Stanford’s MBA program. What he kept hidden from everyone was his relentless effort to raise tens of millions of dollars to keep his startup from sinking, while battling manic depression. He found himself overcome by ambition that bordered on delusion, over-confidence, and an incessant drive that threatened to unravel everything.
In acknowledgment of Mental Health Awareness month, we hope that this dynamic conversation illuminates the challenges that many entrepreneurs encounter as they pursue innovation and success.
