In this episode, Ro and Mitch dive into their experiences with depression and mental health and then chat about how they have dealt with the issues that have troubled them.

Men are often too proud or afraid to share how they are feeling and lack the confidence to reach out when they need help. Together we can have the conversations that need to be had and reach a hand out to those that need it.

If you or anyone you know needs help please reach out, if we talk to each other we can change peoples lives.

In this episode we speak with Alex Powerlett, martial artist, acupuncturist and Vedic Meditation teacher based in Melbourne. Alex speaks to us about how we can all benefit from a little Vedic meditation and how easy it can be to dissolve stress and live better lives. It was really interesting to hear how someone living in an urban environment can be so grounded and peaceful.

Alex made us feel so relaxed while we were talking to him and we hope he has the same effect on you!

Enjoy!

In this episode we speak with Dr Arne Rubinstein, CEO of The Rites Of Passage Institute, about all things manhood, raising good men, father son relationships, and, of course, rites of passage. Arne's casual, compassionate demeanour, passion for his mission and in depth knowledge are captivating. Before we started recording Arne filled us in on his morning, telling us how he narrowly avoided a shark bite! He also showed us his 140 acre property in Northern NSW where he holds many of the Rites of Passage events. Ro and I had a great time talking to Arne and we hope you enjoy listening in. Enjoy!

In this episode, we talk once again to Katie Tong. We chat about the definition of feminism, why feminism is needed, and why there is often opposition to something that is great for everyone. There is a sense in the male community that feminism is a direct attack on our manhood and masculinity, but what we've learnt in talking to Katie is that's just not the case.  We spoke openly with Katie about our experiences, ideas and thoughts on feminism and we got so much out of it. We hope you do too.
