“My goal of 'Just Be Books' - and Rebecca would probably agree - is to open up the conversation about mental health to add gray area. So that things can get healed and talked about. So that kids like me who are dealing with a lot of things like depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, who didn’t need really strict consequences, just are able to talk about it." - Paris Gramann

This week’s guest is Paris Gramann (@parisgramann), who is quite the multi-potentialite.

A multi-potentialite is a person who has a wide-range of interests and creative pursuits, and Paris certainly fits the description.

She is the co-founder of Just Be Books, a book company created to teach mental health concepts to children, as well as the founder of Empower Creative Agency, which conducts project management for creative endeavors.

She is also a passionate entrepreneurship teacher and mental health advocate.

Both education and mental health are huge topics of this conversation. Specifically, mental health education.

Paris shares about her personal mental health struggles, and how that journey inspired her work with Just Be Books, which aims to create dialogues and awareness around mental health concepts.

We also discuss topics such as philosophy within entrepreneurship, using guilt as a motivator, and modernizing Stoicism to the present day.

Please note that we discuss some sensitive subjects in this episode, including suicidal ideations, so feel free to skip through accordingly.

We hope you enjoy this episode of Discover More, with us and Paris Gramann.
