But what if the real growth happens in the gray? In this episode, I sit down with Riki Zahn, founder of After Hours Club, a mental health-focused art and wellness community creating mindful, immersive, and creative experiences. In this episode, Riki opens up about losing her father at a young age, navigating post-grad depression, and feeling the quiet loneliness that often comes with entrepreneurship. Through her own healing journey, she built After Hours Club, a safe space where anyone can decompress, connect, and process their emotions through art and community. If you're an entrepreneur, creative, or anyone navigating adulthood and ambition, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to build alone, and that growth often lives in the gray.
