In this powerful episode, Jodie Fraser sits down with Joey Kolirin, Commercial Director at Full Power Utilities, to explore the intersection of business leadership and mental health. Joey shares his candid journey through depression, anxiety, and addiction—and how hitting rock bottom became the foundation for rebuilding a purposeful, people-focused career.

Together, they discuss:

• Joey’s path to commercial leadership in the energy sector
• The role of vulnerability and self-awareness in business
• How mental health struggles shaped his leadership style
• His passion for public speaking and mental health advocacy
• Practical tools for recovery, resilience, and supporting others

This is a must-listen for anyone navigating high-pressure careers while trying to maintain their well-being, or for leaders who want to create safer, more compassionate workplaces.
