Good morning,
In 2012 Andy Dunn was riding high. He’d convinced himself that the hot e-commerce company Bonobos, which began as a brand of better-fitting men's pants, could become the technology backbone of modern commerce. He’d cashed out seven figures' worth of shares on the secondary market and was living like he thought a CEO in his early 30s in New York City should be living: large.
Then he awoke in a hospital bed in the psychiatric ER at Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital, in a room with three other patients experiencing acute mental health crises. His hands were tied.
He'd learn, over a week in the psych ward and then en route to a police station and eventually jail, that he'd spun out of control over the course of a weeklong manic episode. Dunn finally came to realize his bipolar disorder, which he was diagnosed with in college some 16 years earlier, had taken control of his life.
Read on for the story of how Andy Dunn finally got the humbling experience he needed to turn his life around. |
