Let’s change the conversation on men’s mental health.

We know the power of social connection – but too many of us feel like there's no one to turn to. Let's change that.

Contiki and Movemeber collaborated to connect 5 individuals including myself to have a chat about all things around mental health and addressing it from all different angles. This chat was so profound for me and I have been on Contiki and Movemebers back for the past 2 months to share the raw audio clip from the day.

Because I truly believe that this chat can help so manny people. This chat is raw, vulnerable and by the end of it we formed a bond and friendship that we all stay in contact today.

(interviewer) Brendan Maher- Is the Movember Global Director, Mental Health & Suicide Prevention, and former CEO of R U OK. He’s committed to making a real change to men across the globe and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with him.

Lincoln Lewis- Lincoln is an actor and former Home and Away star. He has previously spoken out about his own mental health struggles.

Khan Porter - is a five-times CrossFit Games athlete, multiple business owner, psychology student and passionate advocate for improving mental health awareness and support services, especially for young men.

Shaun hampson- is an ex-AFL footballer and Survivor contestant, father of two and owner of cafe/restaurant Ascot Food Store. He's also an official ambassador for Movember and is passionate about men’s health because of his own experiences with loss.

Ziggy Ramo- is a proud Aboriginal/Islander musician and creative who advocates for furthering conversations around social justice and mental health.

And myself on a mission is to show youth that anything is possible and to raise awareness of the importance of mental health through marathon running, podcasting and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

If you did enjoy this chat, please share on your story. More youth need to hear these conversations.

Episode 13

Did you know that 95% of podcasts don't make it to the 13th episode. Why ? because they are money and statics focus. All about the ROI instead of focusing on wether they are enjoying learning from the people they interview. Find something you are passionate about and make it happen, people will tell you that you don't have the right voice, or you stutter if you listen to all of that, then you will never achieve anything. Trust your gut and don't listen to what other people say who haven't run their own podcast. 

Little off  topic, but this episode involved Alethea mills sharing her knowledge in the holistic approach to nutrition something that i'm very interested by and is something that i'm sure a-lot of the audience can relate with. 

What we cover in the podcast. 

  • Fad diets

  • All things Coffee

  • Counting calories vs Macro nutrients 

  • Surprise topics that you will have to listen to. 

To see some awesome tips and tricks with nutrition , here are Alethea socials.

This episode was the most free flowing interview to date. 

I spoke with Nick Marshall, the co founder of surf life physio.

We spoke about your network is your net worth, and how compartmentalisation has helped nick handle tuff situations and leave them in the office and not worry about them when he spends time with the family or does other tasks. Nick learnt this off a psychologist that he is forever grateful for. 

Then we spoke about how the expectations you have on you when your 16-20 expecting to know what your "why" is or at least thinking you know what it is and then realising first week of uni wtf am i doing here this is not what excites me. 

Alot of teenagers believe its a race to finish there degree and they just want to get out in the workforce and they think it will be awesome, take a step back and really ask yourself "are you happy" are you excited to wake up or are you dreading to get up for the day. Society will tell you that your best days are when you are at uni or school but i don't know about you but i reckon that's bullshit and you should look for different people to look up to.

This podcast was the most educational experience of my life. 

Glen has so much wisdom and great advice.

5 key take aways. 

  1. The importance of planning. 

  2. no such thing as balance but counter balance. 

  3. 90 day reset.

  4. Knowing your 'why'

  5. The importance of having not 1 mentor but a mentor for every aspect of your life. 

If you got something out of this episode then remember to give it a share, because word of mouth marketing is how people will listen to it. 

Tune in for episode 3 as  i change tides and interview superstar Nick Marshall arguably the best Physio on the coast with his extensive knowledge in the surf.

Background to the PODCAST.

I'm super excited to share with you guys the first episode of the "Dyl journey" podcast.

The goal of this podcast is to inspire the youth, that there're endlessly possibilities and give you some motivation to take that leap of faith by interviewing a wise range of entrepreneurs .

When 18, 22, 30 you are expected to have your life sorted like what degree you want to study or trade. No questions asked, but i encourage you to take a step back and ask yourself is this really what lights me up on the inside because if its not then run. Try new things until you find out what will get you up early and keep you up late at night.

As corny as it sounds you do only have one life, so go out there and try new things everyday! fail, learn from it and then repeat the process and you will find something that will light you up.

1st EPISODE W/ Dan Jones'

Dan has always been a sporty person having aspirations to go big with basketball at a young age and that desire to always be the best in what ever he does. This led him to starting as he calls it an ascetically pleasing sports apparel brand, that brings style to the workout industry that is struggling with a sense of style. He has got his creative flares from his father and Dan loved graphic design. Also the company has a strong message around mental health and one that he is very passionate about and myself included rasing much need awareness.

So enjoy! listen in the car, walk, gym, during a lecture at university or on smoko.
