I caught up with Shea Emry, CFL All-Star Linebacker turned mental health wellbeing activist and founder of The Wellmen Project. In our interview, we talked about why being real, taking risks and telling your story is the key to living a full life, how to be comfortable with who you are and believe in yourself no matter what, what healthy masculinity means today and how to prepare for war by eating coloured candy. You can find out more about Shea’s work at www.wellmen.org and connect with Shea via Twitter @sheaemry (www.twitter.com/sheaemry).
