Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast.Today is another episode all-around mental health for young people, how it is so prominent today and how we can deal with it.I am joined by Andrew Woodhead, a product manager currently working at batyr, a for-purpose preventative mental health organisation, created and driven by young people for young people. He is also the author of the beautifully illustrated short story book called LIGHT. The book explains how depression can take hold, what it feels like and presents proven strategies that anyone can try, learn and practice to improve their mental health.Woody and I have a great conversation all along this theme and dive deep into some stories I have heard about kids in school, how I think mental health has become way to normalized with young people to the point it can be detrimental and Woody shares his experiences and practical tips we can use to try help those around us.This is a super important topic, mental health is at an all-time high for our generation and it is crazy the stories I am hearing from boys and girls in high-school.As per usual, if you get any value from this episode or from the show please consider leaving a review it only takes you 2 minutes and really helps the show reach more people, let me know what you think of this episode and don’t hesitate to reach out to me on or Woody on Instagram.Follow Woody:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-r-woodhead/Book: https://thefinchfoundation.com/Check out Byron on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ByronjDempseyByron Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPQuestion form (please fill out)Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast…Today’s episode I have a seriously amazing guy on. He is a Travel vlogger with over 500,000 followers online and one of the most down to earth people I have met.Luke Damant reached out to me a while back as a listener of the show just to let me know he really enjoyed it, we chatted a bit and I invited him out to lunch.Since then he has come along to some meetups I’ve been too, he has joined the 5:30 am club and started his own club where he lives.As I mentioned Luke is a 20-year-old dude who basically travels around making videos and getting paid to do so. Well this was before COVID, but now he has started a digital marketing agency to help others grow their brand the way he has grown his.In this conversation, we get into his story and we start off with a Bang. A literally bang as Luke goes into detail about a horrific accident he had in India which left him nearly without a hand, and how that experience affected him. We get into how to grow a following like he has, how he was able to travel for free leveraging social media, we talk about Tik Tok culture, Youtube, being grateful, how to stop caring what others think and so much more.Please note Lukes attitude throughout this episode. As we are discussing his near-death experience, he is laughing and having a good time talking about, he is almost grateful I would say. He talks about how by setting no expectations you can’t be disappointed and as a result, you will always be grateful for what you have, and you can really hear him living this when he retells his stories.As per usual, if you get any value from this episode or from the show please consider leaving a review, let me know what you think and don’t hesitate to reach out to me on or Luke Instagram, Luke reached out to me and now he’s here on the show!Find Luke:YoutubeInstagramTik TokCheck out Byron on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ByronjDempseyByron Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPQuestion form (please fill out)Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast.Today is an interesting conversation with a very interesting man. I have really loved getting younger people on the show lately, even though they lack the experience of some of my older guests I feel like they bring much more relatability for you and me.If you are a regular listener you may have heard me briefly speak about a project involving a retreat and a book I am working on. Recently I was introduced to a guy who was running a retreat with 9 other people. The goal of the retreat is to go away and together we are writing a book for advice we would give our 18-year-old selves. Which is essentially what this podcast is all about, the advice I would give to my younger self.Today’s guest is the guy who ran the retreat, Joe Wehbe. Joe is a psychology student turned non-for-profit worker, turned real estate agent, turned to business owner and connectorHe is a close friend of mine and in today's chat I would say there are two parts to this episodePart one, we spend time discussing what to do after school, Joe shares his experience with university and we get into why we think society is pushing us into careers we don’t enjoy. We talk about Joe got a high ATAR and felt like his identity was wrapped up in his marks, causing him to give up his dream of film making. Part two we dive into some amazing and simple concepts that will literally change your life. I don’t say this lightly, but I have used these concepts in my life and has definitely changed my life. We discuss the 1000 doors concept, why you need to focus on an audience of none as well as many others.If you enjoy this episode or the show please consider leaving a review, I don’t make any money off this show and I work on it full time and leaving a review really helps me out.

JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPQuestion form (please fill out)Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast…Today’s episode we are switching it up. No more business or personal development, this episode is all about masculine and feminine energies, relationships between men and women and understanding that we are different and need to approach each other differently.After having some videos blow up on Tik Tok about masculinity, showing emotions, I received hundreds of comments about how grateful people where that someone was talking about this.So I decided to dedicate an entire episode to this topic. In this episode, I bring on Tylah Jane who is a midwife delivering babies full time. I met her at a retreat and we got into a deep discussion about masculine and feminine energies and I thought this would be a great conversation for you guys to hear.This ended up being an awesome conversation that is really important for young people to be aware of.For some reason, school doesn’t teach us anything about relationships and how to handle them, yet everyone who graduates school will need to have those skills for life.So that is what this episode is all about!As per usual, please consider leaving a rating or review on the show if you are enjoying it or get any value of it, and feel free to reach out to me on Instagram to let me know what you thought of this episode.  Check out Tylah:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_tylah/Check out Byron on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ByronjDempseyByron Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/Support the show Hosted on Acast.
