The Highs, Lows, and Lonely Roads

A Summit Session with Robbie Goldsmith and Josh Ellis

In this raw and real conversation, with two 4x founders  Robbie Goldsmith, CEO of Silverbelly Whiskey, and Josh Ellis, founder & CEO of WithCo Cocktails, Hang on Health founder Tina Stoyka will explore the deep impact of unspoken stress, suppressed emotions, and internal pressure on both relationships and personal well-being. 

They’ll share how constantly chasing the next milestone can leave founders feeling disconnected—from themselves and the people closest to them. Through hard-won insights and honest storytelling, Robbie and Josh reflect on the power of slowing down, finding community, and learning to regulate instead of medicate. From men’s therapy groups to wilderness wellness retreats and faith, they’ll unpack what it really means to do the inner work while building something big. Come for the business stories—stay for the healing.

If you’ve ever looked successful on the outside while silently falling apart inside, this one’s for you.

PRESENTED WITH THE NASHVILLE ENTREPRENEUR CENTER

JOIN US FOR HANG ON HEALTH’S SIGNATURE EVENT FOR MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

In-Person or Zoom

What does it mean to keep going when your mind says stop?

In this powerful session, entrepreneurs John Anderson and Rusty Goodsell open up about battling inner chaos—imposter syndrome, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and facing the darkest extremes —all while building and leading companies. They explore the raw and often invisible toll entrepreneurship takes on mental health, from the loss of identity to the uphill climb of redefining self-worth and success.

With brutal honesty, they share how financial collapse, family strain, and internal pressure nearly took them out—and what it took to come back. While this discussion focuses on how John and Rusty bounced back, it's also about showing up differently, with the confidence to define success on your terms, in every season of life.

Logistics:

Thurs, May 8

Doors at 11:30 - Lunch and networking
