How different would your life be if you had a manual made for you by someone who did it all before? 

Think about it. How many of us, have had a man who as a boy, had a mature man sit him down and give him "The Playbook" on how to be his own man?

On today's episode, our guest Dr. Donald Farquharson seeks to inject hope, meaning and significance into what it means to be a man.

If there is one thing we know, men have always had that "love/hate" relationship with their health. Too often they put things off or bury their their heads in the sand. This week, we were joined by Consultant Urologist, Dr. Richard Mayhew for an enlightening discussion on Men's Health.

The gentlemen aimed to give clear, impartial, no-nonsense advice and information for men to learn about the health problems that affect them and in the same breath empower them to get help when they need it.

If everything is too good in your life, you're probably stuck not being awesome.

You can either be comfortable and stagnate or stretch yourself to become uncomfortable and grow.

This one is a little bit of introspection so be sure to grab your notepads and listen to the ShopTalk Gents spue nothing but real life changing nuggets.

What is monogamy anyway? 

This week the @shoptalkja Gents and their special guests Shanik Ramson and Nastassia Morrison traverse the terrain of monogamy and polygomy.

As we know, there are many slips between the cup and the lip and though many can say anything in the moment, things can quickly change when reality hits!

Privacy is essential to who we are as human beings, and we make decisions about it every single day. It gives us a space to be ourselves without judgement, allows us to think freely without discrimination, and is an important element of giving us control over who knows what about us. 

However, often times we don't realise when we are  over sharing and we often breach our own privacy. Our guest, Shanik Ramson, sat with us today to discuss and explain even more why it is important to keep some things private.
