Meet Your Host, Dallas Amsden

Dallas Amsden is a . . .

. . . ugg – time for real talk, friends – I have always disliked writing my bio.

Sure, I could tell you all about my twenty-plus years of experience in the field of communication: author, speaker, podcaster, actor, stand-up comedian, singer, songwriter, production manager for an LA-based animation video marketing agency . . . and yes, even a professional mime (you read that correctly: I was a professional mime).

I could even tell you about my entrepreneurial foray into product design as co-designer of The Original SNACKADIUM™ – that’s a stadium made of snacks. My design is a reusable, dishwasher-safe, multi-pan, melamine, food container that resembles a football stadium so that you can make your game day snacks as memorable as the game itself.

But, what does all that experience mean in light of your depression? To you, it may not mean much, but I want you to know this – I know what you’re going through. I know the highs and lows. I know the victories and the defeats. I know the medications, the sleepless nights, the endless days, the isolation, the doubt, the darkness – I know it all too well.

But, I also know this – there is hope.

Over the years and with the help of my therapists and my own research, I have picked up some tips and tricks; and I have studied the basics of what it takes to defeat my own depression every day. 

My passion is to give you the tools you need - armed with information and resources from top experts in the field of mental health - so that you can coach yourself to make those same daily positive play calls so you can create your best gameplan with daily offensive and defensive strategies to tackle depression in your own life.

Have a championship day!
