In this episode, we explore how to create engaging mental health conferences with Steve Turney, the founder of the Mental Health Marketing Conference. Steve shares his philosophy of balancing rich content with genuine connection, explaining why vulnerability and unexpected moments can transform a professional event into a lasting memory. We discuss storytelling as a tool for breaking down hierarchies, how marketing can serve communities more meaningfully, and why empathy belongs at the center of every experience. Whether you’re a group practice owner or an event organizer, you’ll find insights to inspire your work.
