Improving Mental Fitness, Avoiding Burnout, and Getting More Out of Web3 & DAOs | Louis from twoplus

#033 - Welcome to another episode of Quorum, where we believe that contributing to a DAO is the best way to find engaging and rewarding work in the new Web3 economy. 

In today’s show, Sam and I spoke with Louis, founder of twoplus — which is a cohort based learning platform for improving your mental fitness.

We discussed: Louis’ personal struggles with mental health, mental health vs mental fitness, Louis’ favorite mental fitness techniques, and what twoplus is and how it’s built to specifically help DAO contributors just like you.

More about twoplus:

Sadly, burnout in Web3 is incredibly common. There’s something about the always on, always connected nature of the internet that is leading more and more people to become overworked and mentally exhausted.

In this episode Louis shares his personal history working in the Web3 space through a bull market and experiencing burnout himself. He shares his struggles with anxiety, insomnia and other issues that affected his work and personal life.

Louis tried psychoanalysis therapy and other tools, but ultimately found that they didn't help him that much. So he committed to diving deeper into the world of mental health, and he ended up discovering many alternative modalities that have since helped him get a better grip on his own wellbeing.

We talk a lot about Mental Fitness — which is a way to reframe mental health to be more tangible and accessible for people. 

At a basic level it’s the idea that you can work out your mind just like you can work out your body. It’s about being proactive, finding tools and resources that can help you become resilient and taking positive steps towards integrating them into healthy daily habits.

That’s exactly why twoplus was built. At twoplus’s cohort based learning program, you join other DAO contributors, builders and employees who all are working through the same challenges in this industry. You’ll learn from various experts, build new habits and set goals to improve your own personal mental fitness.

By the way, if this sounds interesting to you, a new 8 week course starts in November and is now taking applications.
