## Transcript

Good evening. Wow. This is pretty surreal. Thank you so much. It is a distinct honor and a pleasure to be here. Accepting this very prestigious award alongside and the footsteps of some of the most impactful incredible inspiring human on this planet. A little over ten years ago and was saying I was to create a try. My hand at entertainment. I quit. What was to be a respectable strategic consulting job in New York? He become a singer, much to the absolute horror of my parents. I was nervous but elated to trade Excel, sheets and corporate grind for music videos, albums, concerts, and TV shows around the world.

I don't know, I keep looking over here. Our building. Entertainment has been anything but easy. It has been a road full of jarring Surprises with the highest of highs like this. But also some of the lowest of lows Earlier on in my career, when I was asked about getting help for anxiety, panic attacks and forms of depression. As Dan mentioned, I was told that I would risk and damage, my flourishing career, the lack of professional support and Care, ultimately manifested in painful, ailments, that left me in a vicious cycle of both physical and mental, poor physical, and mental health. Fast forward to today and I am receiving a Time.

100 impact award is pretty wild for being open and honest about something that I believe we can all be very open and honest about our mental health mental health is at the beginning and it is at the end of everything that we are. It affects every single person on this planet. It affects how we see ourselves, how we present ourselves, and that is how we build careers. And our relationships, mental health affects how we think, how we feel, how we act, how we love, and how we are yet. For some reason, this thing that is at the core of every single person on this planet continues to be taboo, And while progress has been made, we must continue to work together and improve and normalize our approaches to dealing with mental health.

My tiny small contribution to this conversation. Outside of my songs that regularly touch upon the subject is a platform called mindset by Dives, to use which, with the help of my incredible team. And my brothers Eddie and Brian is grounded and honesty with my struggles. And those of my peers minds and has grown into a community where individuals can safely and positively discuss their mental health Journeys, find resources. I feel heard and seen. We have actors musicians, soon athletes and incredible people sharing stories out of the most vulnerable. However, we do not all need to create platforms, you do not need to be musicians.

CEOs, actors are public figures to create impact as cliche. And as simple as it may sound being an embracing, our best and most authentic selves with all of our Beauty and our flaws is where we can begin. It should be with kindness and with honesty. And with grace even though sometimes you may feel very impossible that we can remember and encourage ourselves to be perfectly imperfect. So to me this time, 100 impact award is an affirmation that being who you are and who I am is enough. It is a reminder that it is okay not to be okay. So thank you time for this incredible honor and bring cruising me the world and all of us to be just the way we are.

Thank you very much.
