Featuring: Chris Free, Chromatic
This is a pretty special, and heavy episode that I’m excited to share with you. This episode was recorded and released within a week in order to get it out during October, near national mental health awareness day and during suicide prevention month.
Chris Free, President of Chromatic opened up to us all about the difficulties he faces with his mental health as a result of running his agency. We talked about the impact that overworking himself, being unable to define his actual role, and his inability to let go had on his physical and mental health. And, what he’s done to work on recovering and the positive impact that this has had on Chromatic’s culture of openness and vulnerability. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out and get some support. The national suicide prevention helpline is 988.
Chris is an accidental agency owner and recovering control freak. He's spent the last 15 years helping build an award-winning digital agency with a truly unique culture in the Drupal/WordPress space.
