MASTER LINK: https://lu.ma/byrondempseyGet my Book!: https://www.18andlost.com.au/Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today is an amazing episode from Mr Gus Rowland.A compassionate bloke, Gus wears his heart on his sleeve. But that heart was shattered the day news arrived that Angus - his friend, mentor and father figure - had taken his life. Angus seemed to have it all – a beautiful family, home, great job, the respect and friendship of many. But he had something else too. Inner worries that were eating away at him. And he never told anyone about it. The stigma around masculinity stopped too many from reaching out and asking for help when life felt tough.Gus was driven to action. In 2016, he hosted three-part documentary series Man Up, lifting the lid on the relationship between masculinity, social isolation, mental health, and suicide.Now, who is Gus? Well, I feel like this quote sums him up... “I want a society where everyone has a Gotcha4Life Mate. That go-to person you can open up to and rely on about anything. A world where we can seek help when life gets challenging, where we can build open and honest relationships and feel comfortable expressing ourselves, no matter what. So no one has to worry alone”Gus is a father of three and runs the Gotcha4life foundation with one very specific goal. 0 suicides. In today's episode, we are talking about mental health and how you shouldn't fight this battle alone, why we need connections as humans and how you can start to build better connections with the people in your life.I really love this episode and I hope you do as well, if you enjoy it I'd recommend checking out Gotcha4life, where you can nominate someone you have for life.Gothcha4life: https://www.gotcha4life.org/Byron's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

MASTER LINK: https://lu.ma/byrondempseySecret Project: https://drivenyoung.com/igy/Welcome back to the driven Young podcast and today I am joined by Maddie and Ali, the creators of theherdapp.You may have seen these two on TikTok, they are based in the U.S and have created a new social media app for gen z. Herd is a social space focused on community over comparison. By throwing out the social scale, empowering casual creativity, and providing experience autonomy, Herd aims to restore authentic expression. In an ecosystem that deprioritizes user well-being, Herd is the greener pasture; grown from honesty, empathy, respect, and discovery.I have been following them online for a while now, I always read the comments on their videos and it is incredible what they have been able to achieve.The startup space is incredibly difficult, especially for young women as you will hear us discuss, but it is even more difficult creating a social media app.In this episode we talk all things social media, why it is so addictive and harmful, the good and the bad, how to manage your relationship with it, how companies like Instagram are heading in the wrong direction, how the girls were able to start this company and the struggles they faced and much much more.Herd: https://www.theherdapp.com/Madi: https://www.instagram.com/madydewey/ Ali: https://www.instagram.com/alihowardd/Byron's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drivenyoung)Support the show Hosted on Acast.

Is it possible for young people to get into the market? And why should we?To discuss this I am joined by Andrew Bodnar, co-founder of Kingdom Development.
