#204 How To Be a Better Man w/ Gareth Shanthikumar

The most important relationship men have is the one they have with themselves, and yet men just aren’t that great at developing and building a strong kit bag of skills they can draw on when life suddenly doesn’t go to plan. And sadly, this is driving the global mental health crisis and the massive rise in anxiety, drug/alcohol abuse, and depression in men across all age groups.

That’s where Gareth and Man Up come in. Gareth is on a mission to teach young men the critical skills that empower and equip them to be able to handle all of life’s up and downs. By engaging young men in high school, Gareth and his Man Up workshops explore and guide participants in all elements of male culture, and just what does it mean to be male in this ever changing world. Gareth has a fascinating story to tell, and by following his incredible passion he is creating an entire generation of emotionally intelligent young men who can deal with life’s challenges with psychological flexibility, resilience and integrity and who are then taking that learning and emotional intelligence into our wider society as a whole.
