As a teen, drug addiction drove me into one of the darkest periods of my life, plagued with suicidal thoughts and depression. Finding a way out through the means of a Royal Marines recruiting advert, I was pulled into a new reason for living. Spending a decade in the elite regiment, I learnt the severe highs and lows of what wellbeing in the military looks like, which led me to what I do now. Since leaving the marines, I have become an author of the book, Commando Mindset. Worked closely with Simon Sinek and his team, delivering some of my work to his global Ignite community. Have been a guest on the Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett. And am now the CEO and co-founder of Loopin, an AI platform that helps decrease burnout and attrition risks by directly supporting employees and managers across organisations. My big passion is helping people better connect at work, to ultimately forge the relationships we come to rely on when things get tough. By doing this, we can all significantly impact burnout, retention, performance and engagement. The Workplace Wellbeing podcast discusses all aspects of employee wellbeing, with guests who own similar passions in making workplaces a better place for our wellbeing.Visit www.letsloopin.com to find out more.Connect with Ben on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-williams-vgs/Connect with Ben on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/Ben_williams_CMConnect with Antony on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ant-thompson-loopin/Connect with Antony on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/antonythomps
