About This Episode
Mental health is a recurring topic over the years of doing these shows, and with very good reason – one in four of us will suffer from significant mental health issues at some stage in our lives.
It doesn’t matter who we are or what we do, it can and does affect anyone.
Even, for example, a professional footballer who is absolutely living the dream – it can still affect them both during their career, and also very much so afterwards.
It really doesn’t help that in a great many cases Men Don’t Talk.
My guest this week is no stranger to issues of mental health.
He was a professional footballer, had to retire from the game, and has seen mental health affecting a great many people first-hand. He now does something wonderful to help, and that’s what we explore in this episode.
As always, you can listen to this episode via the audio above, or if you prefer to watch us having a chat then there’s the video version of it below.
