Episode description

Irad recognizes that traditional therapy methods don’t sufficiently accommodate our digital era lifestyles. Dealing with his own loss and difficulties in accessing empathetic ears, he founded Circles. This platform for peer-to-peer counseling provides the sort of immediate and accessible solutions for their challenges people have come to expect in the tech-enabled world. By allowing people to better balance the competing demands of parenting, caregiving, illness, kids with special needs, divorce, and mental health issues, they are able to access the precise address to their pain they crave. Irad previously founded Shekulo Tov, an organization dedicated to removing social and institutional barriers to employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
