Why Nike and its CEO are focusing on mental health

When I was 28 years old, I got some advice that changed my life.

It was 1988, and I was a consultant at Bain. These were intense years — long hours, little sleep, lots of travel, constant work, and trying to balance family life with a spouse and two young children. I was glad to be learning as much as I was, but I also remember feeling like I was barely staying afloat.
