In this episode, I look at 2 things specifically related to guys and no, I'm not talking about the 2 nuts - I'm talking about testosterone and sperm.

I cover some of the issues around declining testosterone and sperm issues, what's causing these issues as well as why it's important, and then look at what we can do to support ourselves around these 2 vital aspects of being a guy.

A wide ranging convo for this one!

I was always a nice guy growing up, and still think of myself as a nice guy in a lot of ways. But if I had been a good guy instead, things could have been different.

Now mental health is something I've talked about a bit, and our guest today has his own views on depression, and a new perspective of things after his friend voluntarily made the final journey to the other side.

We also talk about South Asian living as Brown guys and some of the challenges of it. And there's one tip or bits of life advice we'd share to any young South Asian male.

Ah the stoic Brown father. The old school masculine type who faces any hardship without saying a word.

The right way to go about things? Probably not.

I'm looking at how stoic fathers can shape family dynamics and how we can use vulnerability to create better relationships for some of our father figures or male role models in our lives.

Why is it we always have those projects we want to start, but never do?

Why do we get stuck at that point just before launching?

And what can we do to fix that?

In this episode, I talk about the fear of failure and why we, or our minds, stop us from starting and growing. With us trying to cultivate a growth mindset, a big part of that is trying new things being comfortable with failure so that we can learn, but sometimes that failure feels deeper than just surface level because of how it reflects on us. This episode looks to address that so we can all just start!

What happens when you help out your parents when you're younger with setting up their new phones, then with an online document, then with booking something...

Well eventually they become a victim of learned helplessness.

But what can we do to actually affect that, and why is it important to go back to teaching mode to support those around you who need that help?

As ever, we're always looking to broaden minds and perspectives by hearing from people who's lived experience is different to ourselves and this episode does just that!

It's great to hear from Pritpal about his journey understanding his true self as a Bi, Sikh father. We hear about the challenges but also the positives too as a result of this. We also hear about his work with @Sikh_LGBT_Inclusion off the back of their award winning success, about their project to create more inclusive Sikh spaces.
