Meet Ben Miller, Co-Founder of WIRTH HATS, a company on a mission to break the stigma surrounding mental health. 

This venture is more than just a business for Ben; it's a heartfelt tribute to friends he has tragically lost to suicide. These losses have profoundly affected Ben's life, fueling his dedication to fostering open conversations and breaking down barriers surrounding mental health.

My conversation with Ben touched on some deeply challenging topics, but at its core, it was a dialogue anchored in hope. It centred around an essential question: how can we support each other and ourselves as we navigate the complexities and difficulties of life?
