Men of Words Podcast
Welcome to the Men of Words Podcast! This is a platform for conversation with successful people about Mental Health. Our aim is to speak to males at the top of their fields across sport, business, music and anything in between to hear stories of adversity, failure, success and the Mental Health journey throughout. Opening up about these issues is historically not our strong-suit as males and that is the area we are hoping to have some affect. Liam (Murph) and Michael (Muff) are long time friends with intersecting journeys through the highs and lows of Mental Health, having had personal and professional relationships for years and many conversations like the ones we are choosing to have with these elite performers.Our goal is a simple one. If we can motivate someone to have a conversation about their mental health, be it with friends, family or a professional, then we have achieved our goal. Thanks so much for listening, for any questions or queries please contact us through Instagram @menofwordspodcast or email us at menofwordspodcast@gmail.com If you need support, it's there. Talk to a friend, family, your GP or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Conversation #15 - Gus Worland
Got a question? Text us here and we’ll respond next ep! Mow.
We have been so lucky to meet a few true Mental Health Warriors on the podcast to date and Gus is absolutely one of them.
Gus Worland - Media personality from Sydney who has been all over the Australian TV & Radio landscape AND has been a part of some incredible advocacy projects in the Mental Health space, or 'Mental Fitness' as he puts it in the episode.
Gus' goal is simple, yet so important. Get the suicide rate in this country to zero. In his work over the years of trying to achieve this goal, the overwhelming truth is that suicide is a death of loneliness - His organisation Gotcha4life talks about finding those few "gotcha for life" friends that you can absolutely lean on and be your most open and vulnerable self with and how powerful that can be against the nasty business of loneliness. We LOVE what Gus is about and this is a power-round of a chat, covering all this and more. We hope you enjoy!
MOW.
Content Warning: In this chat we talk about topics that people may find difficult to listen to & we want people to be aware of that as they listen. We hope that if anyone feels the need to talk, there is support available 24/7.
