Ep 81. Summer Break: ANDREA CAMPOS, Yana- "Mental Health & The Accidental Entrepreneur”

Entrepreneurial Thinkers with Rob Ryan

It’s summertime 2023, and just like you and your family are taking some holiday time off to travel, lay by the pool or hangout at the beach, we’ve decided to give our team a short Summer Break too. But since we know you’re still listening, we thought we’d re-share three terrific episodes in July, on the 3 hottest topics which Rob gets asked about most often in our work at GrowthHax. Storytelling, Venture Capital and Mental Health & Wellness.

Today, we drop in to explore the always important business and life topic of our “Mental Health.” Coming out of this pandemic, adjusting to new lifestyles, reacting to the FOMO of making up for lost time and as always, the pressures to grow businesses to investor expectations, today we revisit Andrea Campos, CEO at Yana, one of the fastest growth Mental Health and wellness platform companies in Latin America, which originally aired in Episode 60, on February 21, 2023. So sit back, open a cold drink, put on that sunscreen and enjoy a masterclass refresher in Venture Capital.

In this episode, Rob and Ileana are joined by Andrea Campos, CEO/Founder of Yana (You are not Alone) the Spanish language, AI driven mental health and wellness platform in Mexico y LatAm. Andrea shares her unique story of an exceptionally strong, resilient, accidental Mexican entrepreneur, who struggled with depression and anxiety, dropped out of University and obsessively sought solutions to her own mental health needs. Ultimately she discovered that she was far from alone in the need for better mental health support. That journey led to Yana, which took six + years of trial and error as a solo founder, before exploding in popularity to 12 million + downloads during the last three years! Her company is one of the fastest growing in LatAm, has raised Venture Capital from some of the regions most reputable investors, but it's her incredibly humble and authentic personal story that will be inspiring to any listener.
