MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- at 6:00 PM, entrepreneur and author Sacha Awwa will launch "Your Brain on Entrepreneurship," a new series aimed at addressing the mental pressures faced by founders.
Awwa, who has spent years helping founders grow their businesses, noticed a shift in the conversations she was having.
The series will explore the science behind pushing through and pulling back, the impact of sleep debt on decision-making, and the signals the brain and body send before a breakdown occurs. Awwa, a Webby Award winner with 23 years in strategic marketing, will moderate the conversation, which will feature Dr. Marcelo Bigliassi, an Associate Professor of Psychophysiology at Florida International University, and Dr. Carmen Teresa Ramirez, a board-certified neurologist and Chief Medical Officer of Wellness Tech Biodistribution.
In a study of 242 entrepreneurs led by Dr. Michael Freeman, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, 72 percent reported mental health concerns, either through personal or family history, compared with 48 percent of a demographically matched comparison group. This highlights the widespread mental health issues faced by entrepreneurs.
The series will run every other month, with sessions planned in Miami in December and in New York in February 2027. It is supported by the Miami Chamber of Commerce Dubai, Mana Tech, ExV Agency, and The Housing Summit. The first session is free and open to founders, operators, and investors. Attendance is limited, and early registration is recommended. The event will take place at Mana Tech, Loft 10, 21 SE 1st Ave #10, Miami, FL 33131.
Awwa's philosophy is that clarity, more than tactics, drives growth. Through her advisory work, speaking, podcast, and book, she aims to provide founders with the strategy they need to survive both their businesses and themselves.
The launch of "Your Brain on Entrepreneurship" marks a significant step in addressing the mental health challenges faced by founders. By bringing together experts in the field, the series aims to provide practical insights and support to those navigating the often tumultuous journey of entrepreneurship.
