Episode 45: Keep Rolling with Jake Briggs - Nick Jonsson
Keep Rolling with Jake Briggs
Nick is deeply committed to raising awareness and eliminating the stigma surrounding Executive Loneliness, a silent burden carried by countless leaders across the corporate world. In his book, he sheds light on what many experience but rarely speak about—overcoming isolation, stress, anxiety, and depression in the modern business environment.
Nick’s mission is rooted in the understanding that leadership can often be isolating. Executives are expected to appear strong, composed, and always in control, which can make it difficult to express vulnerability or ask for help. This unspoken pressure often leads to emotional exhaustion and a sense of being alone, even when surrounded by teams and responsibilities. Through his advocacy, Nick aims to break this harmful cycle by helping leaders understand that seeking support is not a weakness, but a vital part of maintaining long-term wellbeing and effectiveness.
In his work and writing, Nick explores the deep emotional and psychological impact of stress and loneliness among leaders. He discusses how chronic pressure can erode confidence, impair decision-making, and contribute to burnout—issues that not only affect leaders personally but also ripple through entire organizations. With a combination of personal stories, expert insights, and research-backed strategies, Nick offers clear pathways to overcoming these challenges.
By sharing these experiences openly, Nick encourages leaders to rethink how they approach mental health—both for themselves and within their organizations. He emphasizes the importance of fostering supportive environments where leaders can talk openly about their struggles without fear of judgment. His message is simple but powerful: connection saves lives, and no leader should have to struggle alone.
Nick’s broader goal is to spark meaningful conversations that reshape how leadership culture views vulnerability and wellbeing. Whether through speaking engagements, podcasts, or his book, he champions the idea that strong leadership includes emotional awareness, openness, and courage.
