Dr. Ryan Todd, CEO of Headversity, joins Chad on this week\\u2019s episode to discuss the workplace mental health and resilience platform he\\u2019s built for the modern workforce.\\xa0

In this incredibly interesting interview, Chad and Ryan delve into the impact of COVID and the pandemic on the mental health of drivers and dispatchers. The stress that is on people right now is like nothing before. Stress causes frustration which leads to conflict. And conflict leads to turnover.\\xa0
