Jinhyun Shin is a mental wellness entrepreneur and coach looking to normalize mental health. He is one of the founders of the mental health platform Penciv. Jinhyun is passionate about suicide prevention, especially by addressing the root cause of loneliness. As an ethnographer, he has explored the gap between people’s life situations and their inner feelings. He has created tools and language to help people understand and improve their mental health in practical and communal ways. He has worked with various groups, such as professional athletes, Fortune 500 companies, veterans, and people recovering from addiction, to share his insights and frameworks on mental health.  

We talk about: 

• The reasons behind the high rates of suicide and how to seek help 


• The effects of loneliness on our well-being and how to overcome it 


• The ways to find meaning and purpose in the “mud of life” 


• How to cope with shame  


• The importance of community and belonging for mental health
