Make Mental Health Matter with Kelli Melissa Reinhardt: Laughter as Medicine

Laughter as Medicine: Conquering Stress with Professor Pete Alexander
On this episode of Make Mental Health Matter, Kelli laughs with Professor Pete Alexander.
During his 35+ year career he has had the privilege to work in a variety of positions including Sales, Marketing, College Professor and Small Business Owner. Each role had one thing in common - high stress - to the point he was diagnosed with stress-related diabetes and ended up in the hospital with a severe case of diabetic ketoacidosis, a few hours away from being comatose. It was a reality check for him. When you don’t have your health, not much else matters. He knew it was time for him to walk away even though he had a great job, secure income, and good benefits. Interestingly, his coworkers and peers were very supportive and most of them told him they admired his decision to put his health first before his career because they were contemplating the same thing. He realized then that it wasn’t just him, and now he helps other hard-driving leaders avoid my mistakes and immensely benefit from the wonderful tools and techniques he has learned and experienced first-hand. In addition to a video series, he launched a book on Amazon, which became an international bestseller. He has also been a popular guest on many podcasts and radio shows, and was selected as a TEDx speaker. He is also a professional hiking tour leader, a certified Laughter Yoga teacher and improv comedy cast member, where he enjoys bringing laughter to his community.
Professor Pete Alexander is the President of the greatest interior landscaping company in the San Francisco Bay Area - Office Plants by Everything Grows. In addition, he has served as an adjunct college professor for several universities, where he helped inspire thousands of students to develop and apply key concepts of marketing specifically to their area of interest. He's also a TEDx speaker and best-selling author on reducing stress in your everyday life. Lastly, but certainly not least, he is a certified Laughter Yoga leader and improv comedy cast member, supporting his community to laugh more and stress less.
