The Needs Improvement Podcast

Welcome to the Needs Improvement Podcast, your deep dive into reimagining mental health and well-being at work. Changing the narrative on what truly needs improvement in the workplace.

In every episode, we sit down with thought leaders in organizational health, as well as individuals who’ve navigated the complexities of mental health, well-being, and belonging in the workplace.

Our goal? To dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health, ignite meaningful dialogue, and inspire both employees and leaders to revolutionize the way performance is measured in the workspace.

Episodes are available here, and everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Picture of Daniel

Daniel

Daniel is an extremely curious person, a wealth of random knowledge and facts. Extremely passionate about a vast array of interests ranging from health to history, science to athletics, everything culinary and the list goes on. Trust us, you would want to be on his team for Trivial Pursuit. Daniel is also years into his battle with brain cancer. He experienced a seizure while on a Zoom call at work in late 2020 and quite literally, his life changed within minutes. After his operation he started to talk about his story but had always known it was more than just him. From then, More Than Our Story became a PROJECT that has evolved into the starting point it is today.
