Born into British nobility as the future 3rd Viscount Rochdale, Jonathan Kemp appeared to have it all—prestige, education, and a successful career in law enforcement and entrepreneurship. But behind the titles, he battled undiagnosed bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexia for decades. At 39, a long-overdue diagnosis changed everything.

In this candid conversation, Jonathan shares the unseen battles high-functioning people face, the turning point that led him to seek help, and how self-awareness became his greatest asset. He reveals the 14 personal foundations for resilience, his mental health emergency plan, and the creation of SmartWisdom—a scientifically validated note-taking system now used by top firms and universities.

We explore why he’s decided to give away 20 years of SmartWisdom training for free, the cost of untreated mental illness, and how to recognize the invisible struggles in those around you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, misunderstood, or afraid to ask for help, Jonathan’s story is proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your life.
