Customer Reviews
Refreshing
How great to be conversing about mental health! Gil is a warm and friendly host with a light touch. Looking forward to more episodes.
Gil cuts through with Mentally Gil
Gil has a natural ability to sound comfortable and authentic in front of the microphone and on top of that he’s a highly capable storyteller who does a terrific job bringing the listener along with him on his journey from the quirky, nervous teen years of the past to the ever-complicated present.
Anxiety and Entertainment
As a fellow anxious Jew who worked in entertainment, I’m eager to hear Gil tackle the intersection of mental health and creativity. Given his background and connections to creators, there’s no one better to lead this conversation.
