MJ Leman is a seasoned business executive and social impact entrepreneur, bringing three decades of experience leading strategic growth initiatives across multiple industries. With an MBA from The Ohio State University and an M.Div from Trinity International University, he applies a disciplined approach to mission-driven initiatives. His mental health advocacy includes board roles with DBSA and Metabolic Collective — a mental health initiative he co-founded, focused on advancing metabolic science as a pathway to improved energy and human flourishing.
“As someone who lived with a mood disorder for over two decades until discovering metabolism-based therapies, DBSA’s peer-directed approach to supporting wellness deeply resonates with me. Had I had access to DBSA resources as a young adult, I believe it could have prevented a lot of unnecessary pain in my life. Amplifying the peer voice and the breadth of wellness resources are the key reasons I am so passionate about supporting DBSA’s mission to improve the lives of people who have mood disorders.”
