On this episode of Work Made Human, Nichole Mendez and Jill Veglahn sit down with Kwesi Che, co-founder and president of Handspring, a company rethinking how we approach pediatric mental health.

What started as a realization, and a massive issue hiding in plain sight, became the foundation for a company focused on supporting children and families at a critical stage of life. But this isn’t just a healthcare story.

It’s a conversation about what it means to build at the intersection of mission and business. What founders have to navigate when impact and profitability collide. And why the mental health of today’s youth is directly tied to the future of our workforce.
