Ep 43 - Men’s Health, Moustaches and Movember with Mitch Hermansen

How can we better support the men in our lives? What are some tools to combat the alarming statistics around men’s mental health? This week I spoke with Movember Director of Development Mitch Hermansen who I’m proud to call a friend and fellow MoBro.I got to ask him about his passion for supporting men’s health through Movember every year by growing a moustache and raising money. Movember supports research into men’s prostate cancer research, testicular cancer research and men’s mental health.Warning: we mention suicide in this episode.
