Good Guys - What's this all about?

Hello! I’m Sean Hogan, a journalist from New Zealand and welcome to the Good Guys podcast. 

It’s a show of conversations to inspire men into prioritising our wellbeing and transforming our approach to mental health.

By now we all know the horrible stats, but we need more stories. We need the pathways and tools to put ourselves and our minds first.

Throughout this series you’ll hear from those who have tackled adversity, or faced the full force of mental distress.

They’ll also be guides to getting help and on all facets of life to help us become better blokes.

I’m on this journey with you, so join me as we discover the Good Guys and ways to better ourselves too.
