Mental Health in Entrepreneurship: Brad Feld on OCD and Depression | Get to know OCD Ep 6

From the outside, Brad Feld seems unfazed. Since 1987, Brad has blazed an impressive career as an early-stage investor and entrepreneur in tech. But internally, Brad has been battling OCD for nearly 60 years. In this episode of the Get to Know OCD podcast, Brad opens up about how he has navigated life and achieved success while experiencing OCD, why he’s so open about his struggles, and much more.

Please note: This podcast briefly mentions suicidal ideation. NOCD is not a crisis service. If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 to connect to the Suicide & Crisis Hotline.
