The Mind is Our Business

A Minds Pursuit

A nonprofit challenging the stigma around mental health by turning vulnerability into power, and pain into purpose. Where art meets advocacy—and mental health becomes mainstream culture.

Mikey Tableman is a mental health advocate, spoken word poet, creative visionary and the Founder & CEO of A Mind’s Pursuit

About Mikey

A Mind’s Pursuit isn’t built on theory — it’s built on survival.

Born from Mikey’s own battles with addiction, mania, anxiety and the quiet chaos of trying to stay afloat in a world that didn’t know how to hold him, this nonprofit is more than an organization — it’s a movement.

Mikey didn’t just overcome his struggles—he turned them into a body of work. A poetic memoir. A live experience. A mirror for the misunderstood. His journey through mental illness, recovery, and self-discovery lives in every piece he writes, every performance he gives, and every space he builds. It's a maze of moments—manic, messy, meaningful—and he’s chosen to share it with the world not as a cry for help, but as a declaration: that healing can be honest, artistic, and loud.

Powered by A Mind’s Pursuit, our Chaos Controlled Podcast is raw, unfiltered conversations about mental health, featuring guests with deep roots in the hospitality and entertainment industries who share their personal journeys of overcoming challenges, finding success, balance and navigating mental health.

Event Series

The Alchemy Series

The Alchemy event series strives to create an atmosphere that is a safe space, that individuals come to and be authentically themselves. To feel that they can open up, be vulnerable, to see that they are not alone and that struggle can coexist with friendship and unity. With various activations to distribute knowledge about the mental health world, artists who bare a piece of their soul and share their art to show that their dark place can shine light for others and that a time of pain can create something so beautiful and inspire others.
