Episode notes

We live everyday, we only die once.” ~ Brad Millsteed

Did you know that the research says that blokes (when conversing with other blokes) prefer to talk side by side rather than face to face?

Well, our guest for today Brad from the #6Bs agrees.

Perhaps, you’ve already heard about #6Bs. But if not, this is your chance.

#6Bs is a group of normal blokes trying to encourage men to connect with each other.

Which brings us to what the B’s mean - you can probably guess the first two, Blokes and Bonfires. What about the other 4? It’s Barbeque, Beers, Bonding, and… Bull****.

How did #6Bs start? With a bonfire, of course! And, through another bird’s help, Twitter.

Listen to Brad as he shares how the #6Bs was formed, what it aims to achieve, why it’s important to also focus on yourself, how reaching out to others is crucial, and why they don’t add marshmallows to their bonfires.

Brad also gives us a very insightful thought about using medicines for mental health, which Melissa totally agrees with.

To put it in perspective, if you put all the good fertilizer in your crop, why not put it in your brain if it helps with it?

It’s another great episode to listen to. Enjoy! We hope, whether blokes or babes, you are encouraged to reach out or be more aware of the friends we have around.

If you or know someone going through the black dog, please feel free to reach out to us or to Brad and his team, to Mark from Man Walk. You can also reach out to Owen from the Regional Men’s Health Initiative.
