The conversation

IN THIS
EPISODE.

Why do so many men feel lost, and what can they do about it? I sat down with Connor Beaton, founder of the men's mental health company ManTalks and author of Men's Work, whose slogan is that it's not therapy, it's training.

Connor shares how he went from a gravel pit in northern Alberta at minus 50 to singing classical music around the world, and how rock bottom saw him living out of his car after his lies caught up with him. We get into the mentor in his 70s he paid with farm work when money ran short, the question to ask a friend who is in a dark place, and why giving people a choice is a form of love. He also explains masculinity as neither good nor bad, what dating apps have done to men, and why he thinks marriage and kids are worth it.
