I feel as if guys really struggle to look at ourselves fully and recognise when it's time for us to make a change. Not just the superficial type changes like getting new clothes, getting a haircut and things like that, but the deep change from within. We're not great at recognising when we need to do that deeper excavation, look at where we're at and decide whether its serving us.

There have been a few moments throughout my life where I've gone down a path that really wasn't good for me. I was drinking too much, partying too hard and being a real dick to people. Nothing was really going well for me and when I lost my shit at my boss and quit my job, I knew I needed to do something drastic.

So I flew to Greece to meet my brother and this is where the introspection really began for me. I looked at myself, looked at where I had been and decided to transform myself. I'm not saying it was easy - it was terrifying to think about the prospect of starting again essentially and wiping the slate clean. But it needed to happen.

As guys, we don't do this enough. In fact, we really suck at it. We hold onto a version of ourselves that we've had since we were young a lot of the time, and it's impossible to really achieve true growth without being open to change and reinvention.
