Andy Dunn found success growing his startup Bonobos into a household name – but when he suffered a breakdown in 2012, his world came crashing down. Now, he has a new book, Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind. The book details his mental illness, his journey to stabilize his bipolar disorder, and how the fast-paced startup world, in some ways, enabled unhealthy behaviors. In this conversation with Daniella, Andy talks about his journey, his new startup Pumpkin Pie, why it was so important for him to come forward with his story – and why he believes the business community needs to be more transparent about mental health for the benefit of employees, the health of the business, and society.
