During a recent interview in solidarity with I’m Listening, Audacy’s mental health initiative, the 39-year-old shared some of his best practices for keeping a positive mental health space.

“Definitely spending time with my dog,” he said with a smile. “And then also, going to the gym.”

Family and friends also play a big role for Young, who says he makes a conscious effort not to get lost in the hustle of everything. “Making sure that even though I am all over the world, traveling constantly — which is not normal — [I’m] making time for friends and family.”
