Battling Depression, Prostate Cancer & Bouncing Back w/ Mark 'Angry Dad' Orval.

Mark Orval is the star or as he remarks 'victim' of 'Angry Dad'.    The social media videos took Australia by storm as his sons Mitchell & Dylan took the mickey out of their old man on film.   Yet for all the laughs we've shared with the Orval family, there is a story that has deeper roots of more difficult times that Mark shared for the first time in his in his 2020 documentary 'F#!% Off Mitchell'. A story of broken dreams & a battle with depression, Mark shared his tale in a hope to encourage more men to speak up about mental health.   Depression wasn't the last challenge Mark would face having received an urgent call from his doctor a few months ago, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer & just 12 weeks ago had it surgically removed.   I had the pleasure of sharing a conversation with Mark as we discussed his journey, the lessons he's learnt along the way & his words of wisdom particularly focused at the notion of disappointment vs regret.  A long journey ahead as Mark aims to find his health again but one I wish him & his growing family all the best with.  If you enjoyed this yarn, don't forget to subscribe/follow on your platform of choice & share with friends to help the show grow!  Big Love, Brad AKA The Captain.
