Joe Holder and Olivia Perez on Activism, Embracing Anxiety, and Investigating Your Mental Health

Introducing a new series featuring Olivia and her best friend, the founder of the Ocho System, a Nike Master Trainer, co-founder of System of Service, and Friend of a Friend alumni Joe Holder. Every first Monday of the month, they’ll be talking about everything from friendship, to health and wellness, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and a behind-the-scenes look at how they’re building their organization, System of Service. On this week’s show, Joe and Olivia recap Joe’s latest interview with psychologist Dr. Rheeda Walker and his advice on embracing mental health and anxiety during these challenging times. They discuss the impacts of the murder of George Floyd, their reactions to the current civil unrest, and Joe’s latest project, Intergenerational Health, an initiative that seeks to close the health-wealth gap that Black Americans face in the United States. They also answer all of your questions submitted via Instagram!
