In 2010, a tragic personal event changed the trajectory of Nancy Twine's life. Suddenly, her promising job at Goldman Sachs no longer seemed fulfilling; she wanted something more.

Drawing inspiration from the homemade hair treatments she once made with her mom, Nancy created a line of shampoos and conditioners that catered to all textures of hair without using harmful additives. But as a Black entrepreneur pitching beauty products to white, male investors, she had a tough time raising money.

Finally, in 2013, with an investment of $100K, Nancy launched Briogeo and eventually landed it in Sephora. Today the company’s sales revenue is $100M a year.

1'20 - Why there's a stigma surrounding getting help

3'00 - Do all mental health issues stem from childhood trauma?

4'00 - Why are men reluctant to talk about their emotions?

6'20 - How does talking help?

10'10 - When is it time to go to therapy?

15'00 - Why do I parent my son differently to my daughter?

18'00 - Will the destigmatisation of ill-mental health lead to a weaker generation?

Barbers have played a central role in the Black community throughout American history. Haircutting was one of the first jobs that Black men were allowed to hold after the Civil War, and barbershops were often a hub for organizing during the civil rights movement. More recently, barbershops have played an instrumental role administering vaccines in the wake of Covid-19. 

And now, Lorenzo Lewis imagines a new role for barbers: a first line of defense in addressing mental health challenges for Black men.

This week on How I Built This Lab, Lorenzo talks with Guy about the work of his social enterprise, The Confess Project, to train thousands of barbers across the country to support the mental health of their clients. He also recounts some of the experiences that led him to this work: growing up with incarcerated parents, his own struggles with anxiety and depression, and a gang-related incident that almost changed his life forever...

In this week’s episode, Jason enters the world of crime documentaries with Cecilie Fjellhøy who was one of the victims in Netflix’s The Tinder Swindler – a nonfiction story of a serial fraudster and the women he scammed – which was the first documentary to claim the number 1 spot on the Netflix list of its most popular films worldwide for several consecutive weeks. She shares exclusive details about the investigation, the timeline of events, Simon “The Swindler”’s manipulative behavior in their relationship, her recovery process after realizing the truth, and many more details that weren’t shared in the documentary. We learn how the banking system differs around the world and how Cecilie was able to take out many loans given her credit profile before and after the scandal. How much money did Simon steal from Cecilie before being exposed? Jason and Cecilie take a deeper look into the various accomplices responsible for the series of fraudulent events, including Simon’s ex wife, business partner, and arguably the credit card companies for their essential role in the scandal. This is another episode you can't afford to miss.

Grief is a simple enough word, but the emotional journey it describes is chaotic, messy and unique to each person. Psychotherapist and bereavement expert Julia Samuel (www.grief-works.app) joins Dr Laurie Santos for the second time to describe strategies which we can all use to help us navigate grief more effectively.

Julia says there is no right or wrong way to mourn a loss - there is no "normal" way to grieve - but there are very simple things we can do each day to listen to our feelings of grief and process them so that we can carry on with our changed lives.
