A bit about me and this Podcast
I have spent over 30 years as a Chartered Accountant, business valuer and business coach, while also navigating a growing family, relationships, life’s challenges, and my own personal growth.
From the outside, it certainly seemed I was doing okay. I had ticked off life’s goals. Yet, despite what I have achieved, internally I was suffering.
I knew something wasn’t right. Pressure, stress and anxiety and years of insomnia made me realise I needed help. This began my journey of understanding who I was, where I was in my life, how I could find peace and changing my understanding of what it means to be a man.
My story wasn’t unusual at all. But I knew the key to being successful in this journey, was to look for the answers inside of me. The inner work was where the answers always lie.
Why this Podcast exists?
I have realised over time, a lot of men carry things quietly.
We know how to perform, provide, endure and keep going. But we do not necessarily know how to understand ourselves fully, speak honestly, feel safe, and be vulnerable.
We are carrying confusion, pressure, loneliness and emotions silently, without really understanding what’s going on inside us. We hide our inner world from others and we hide it from ourselves. We don’t have the courage to face what we need to face. But at the same time, we also don’t know how to have these conversations with other men who want a mate to talk to about their own struggles.
This podcast is about unpacking what it means to be us, men. Unpacking our struggles, our vulnerabilities, our short-comings and our fears. But also showing how we can improve, where we can improve, and what others have done to deal with the challenges in their own lives.
We will laugh and cry, be inspired and be confronted. But my intentions with this podcast, is together, we will grow and evolve, and learn how to become better men. For us, for our family, for our friends, for each other, and for our future.
