Movember is more than a moustache. It's a lifeline.

Every November, the moustaches come out. It’s a fun, visible symbol for an incredibly serious cause: men's health. But while we're talking about check-ups and fundraising, we often skip over the silent battles that cost men their lives: suicide, anxiety, and profound loneliness.


The moustache is the conversation starter. It's our job to have the real conversation.


The real conversation sounds like, "Hey man, you seem a bit off lately. Everything okay?"


It sounds like creating friendships where it's safe to admit you're struggling, without fear of being told to just "man up." It sounds like listening without immediately trying to fix the problem.


True support for men isn't about reinforcing outdated stoicism; it's about building the emotional intelligence and connection that makes us truly resilient. It’s about learning to be a better friend, partner, and brother. It's about knowing that vulnerability isn't weakness; it's the foundation of trust.


This Movember, let's do more than just grow a 'stache. Let's build a lifeline. Let's check on our friends. Let's normalize talking about the hard stuff.


The tools for these conversations, for building the kind of strength that actually supports other men, are skills we can all learn.

Badasses aren't born, they're built. So let's get to work.

My book, Be a Badass Man, is your guide to becoming the kind of man who’s a lifeline for others and for yourself.
