In today's episode I sit down with Juno Jakob and talk about his writing journey. We talk about mental health, the necessity to talk openly and compassionately about it, and how his diagnosis of Schizophrenia 15 years ago has led him to write a fictionalized account of it in "Atticus", his new book that is coming out this week. Juno's story is a very personal and heartfelt one, and I know you will find his real life journey just as amazing. Near the end of the episode he will also share with us some writing tips and encouragement.
