As human beings we all struggle through our lifetimes to understand the elements that shape our mental trajectories and drive our emotions and decisions. Being part of Sapien Labs is, in this sense, a personal journey that has brought, and continues to bring, new perspectives to this understanding. What also captures my imagination though is the possibility of turning these insights and ideas into something real that can integrate tangibly into the world at scale to help millions of people better navigate their mental challenges. What are the mechanisms to get us there faster? What are models that can work? Solving these challenges in the context of a smart, committed team is what I find most interesting and rewarding.
