In this episode we have Elliott Rae. A snippet from his website: 

"I am one of the UK’s most prominent speakers on fatherhood, masculinity and men’s mental health, I am also the founder of the parenting platform MusicFootballFatherhood, called the ‘Mumsnet for Dads’ by the BBC. MusicFootballFatherhood is all about open conversations around fatherhood and we work with dads through content and community events to discuss topics such as loss, masculinity and mental health. I founded the platform after being diagnosed with PTSD as a new dad after the traumatic birth of my daughter.  

I wrote about my PTSD, and bought other dads together to share their stories, in my new book DAD which is an Amazon Top 10 bestseller. DAD is a deeply moving collection of 20 stories that represent the diversity of modern fatherhood and challenges the traditional ideas of masculinity.  I presented the seminal BBC One documentary ‘Becoming Dad’ in January 2022 and I am a regular media commentator on issues around fatherhood and mental health, having written for The Independent and The Telegraph and featured live on Loose Women, BBC News, Channel 4 and Radio 5 Live.  

My work was recognised by the United Nations and I was awarded the #HeForShe award by UN Women UK for my work in engaging men in conversations around gender equality.  I am also the co-founder of the Working Dads Employer Awards which celebrates employers that are supporting working dads.  I have had a long career in Diversity, Equality and Inclusion and have held senior roles, including as Head of DEI Delivery at HM Treasury."

Benjamin & Pete started The Awakened Man Project to help men get out their own way; to be a hero to their kids, an inspiration to their partner and make one hell of a profit in business.  

A snippet from their website:  

"We help these guys achieve the '‘Awakened state’ -  a stage in life where a complete realisation of one’s potential is derived and the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life. 

These men have the boldness to go after everything they want in life, despite their pre-existing beliefs and limitations.  

We do this by:

Building a clear vision and direction  

Strategising the actions and creating a simple plan to achieve that vision  

Mastering the skills, behaviours and beliefs to up-level your identity  

Understanding your own psychology via a set of custom tools  

High performance physically & biologically (sleep, nutrition, supplements, etc)  

Our programs aim to maximise and achieve mastery level in profits, fun and freedom through an intense but enjoyable process."
