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 #23 - Cap Carter
Got a question? Text us here and we’ll respond next ep! Mow.
Cap Carter - wow. This conversation is one of the hardest hitting, raw and honest conversations we’ve had to date.
Cap is an up and coming Australian musician from Western Sydney with a story and a half to share with you all.
From growing up and having his mum leave when he was 10, to being introduced to drugs at 12 and getting caught up with gang life a few years later, Cap has put in a hell of a lot of work over the last 12-24 months recovering. Cap opens up about his own marriage breakdown due to the trauma and addiction but is fast to remind us that these experiences are not an excuse for where his life choices lead him, but definitely a valid reason.
This chat touches a lot on the horrors of drug addiction and childhood trauma and we are incredibly thankful to Cap for his honesty and openness. We say it a lot, that we’re so grateful for people being willing to open up after knowing us for all of 5 minutes prior to hitting record and this is proof in the pudding.
As always, if any of the topics covered touch on your personal experiences, there are services to assist you.
