Episode 23 - Max McGuire
In this week’s episode of The Mental Matchup, Kat and Schuyler talk with Max McGuire, a former D1 lacrosse player, mental health advocate, and entrepreneur.
Max played lacrosse at Fairfield, where he also started his own clothing line, What a Wonderful Life. @what.awonderfullife focuses on creating clothing that helps bring awareness to mental health and a portion of each sale is donated to different mental health charities. We talk about his passion for mental health advocacy through his design and entrepreneurship, his personal experiences with anxiety, depression, and losing friends to suicide which inspired him to create the brand, and other experiences that impacted his mental health such as his injuries throughout his lacrosse career.
