Last week on the podcast, we explored the global growth of the WNOW movement (click here to go bak and listen), and in this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the local stories of men in Australia. Co-founder Dave Eccles, and our podcast Wizard, Thomas, woke up early to join the Wednesday morning meet-up at the Maroubra and Bondi Chapters, chatting with the men who gather each week to be part of WNOW.

In this episode Andrew, Dave and the guys from WNOW discuss:

4:00 Chris growing up coming from privilege and his journey in recognising that, struggling with isolation but finding solace in WNOW and what makes WNOW unique in its ability to get men to drop their body armour.

14:30 Why Tony (Monty) Burns moved to Australia, the connection with role models that Monty gets from WNOW and finding himself as a better person every Wednesday morning after WNOW.

20:00 Gary’s rough upbringing and traumatic work past, how Gary used to deal with his emotional problems and the benefits Gary gets from dropping his body armour at WNOW.

29:00 Donncha’s journey to dropping his body armour after getting his cancer diagnosis, learning to live in the present and enjoy the now and how Donncha has seen WNOW change people’s lives.

36:15 How Tom came to accept his more sensitive side after his mental health declined, how Tom fell away from WNOW and then came back and some of the reasons Tom loves coming to WNOW.

45:00 Rob’s identity crisis coming out of COVID and how WNOW helped him find himself, falling back in love with fitness and exercise and how coming to WNOW has even helped Rob’s kids.

56:15 Sonny’s love for the community WNOW has given him in Bondi, Sonny’s realisation that he needed the connection that WNOW brings and how WNOW helps Sonny set up his day for success.
