1,521 men will take their own lives today. Not this year. Not this month. Today.

That number stopped Theo van Dort cold. Because he almost became one of them.

Theo is a filmmaker and the creator of Brotherhood Blueprint — a free nine-part documentary series on male wellness that exists because Theo reached his own edge and chose to turn it into a mission. He also spent six years bringing the consciousness documentary Time of the Sixth Sun to over 1.4 million viewers worldwide.

In this conversation, Theo shares what happened last year when financial collapse, sleep deprivation and twelve weeks of depression brought him to a moment he will never forget. Driving home on his scooter in Bali. A massive green truck coming toward him. A thought that scared him enough to change the direction of his life.

He did not become a statistic. He became a filmmaker with something to say.

Three out of four people who take their own lives are men. Eight hundred men show up every Saturday morning in Bali because something in them knows they cannot carry it alone anymore. The lone wolf is not strength. It is a story men are told that costs them everything. And sometimes the most powerful thing you can give a man is not a solution. It is five minutes of silence and someone who actually stays.

This episode was introduced on a day that brought this reality home in the most personal way. A man in our community was gone. His family left behind. And the question that does not leave — could someone have reached him in time?

This conversation is that reach.

If you are a man who is struggling right now, keep watching. There is always another road.

Mish played water polo for South Africa, competed at two World Cups and loved every moment of it. But what was missing was the inner game. The identity work, the belief work, and the hidden programmes running silently beneath the surface that no training plan ever addresses.

In this conversation with Laura from MindFuel, Mish dives into exactly that. 
◼️ How no pain no gain could actually be working against you. 
◼️ How to tell the difference between your mind pushing you forward and your soul calling you somewhere new. 
◼️ And how the athletes she works with, when they start tapping into the New Man Codes, the tools Mish teaches, begin seeing performance results beyond anything they ever imagined possible.
