Don't Change Much

One Life Changed Thousands. Here's How They Did It.

One conversation can change a life.

One life can change thousands.

In this special live episode of the Don't Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin join the Big Red Mental Health Society's annual Drive to Thrive Golf Tournament, where family, friends, and community members gather to honour Adam Hobbs and continue the work his legacy inspired.

Adam's siblings Brandon, Jake, Julia, and Zach share what it's been like to turn unimaginable loss into purpose. Five years after losing Adam, they've built a community that has raised more than $100,000 for men's mental health while creating something even more valuable: permission for men to talk.

The conversation explores grief, brotherhood, and the belief that strength isn't about carrying everything alone. It's about building your pit crew, reaching out before things become overwhelming, and realizing that asking for help isn't weakness. It's one of the toughest things a man can do.

Canadian Men's Health Foundation ambassador Trevor "Big Red" Greene reflects on how our definition of toughness has changed over the years and why vulnerability requires far more courage than silence. Together, the guests remind us that every man has people who care about him, even when he can't see it himself.

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing happens in community, that grief doesn't have to be carried alone, and that one conversation today could save someone's life tomorrow.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How one family's loss became a movement for men's mental health
  • Why talking about mental health saves lives
  • What real toughness actually looks like
  • Why every man needs a "pit crew" of people he can lean on
  • How communities can help break the stigma around men's mental health
  • Why legacy isn't measured by how long you live, but by the lives you touch
  • The importance of reaching out before a crisis happens
  • How small conversations can create lasting change
