Episode #36 – Check on Your Strong Friends

SPECIAL GUEST: John Harmon, CEO FRSecureThey’re the ones who always show up. Always have the answers.Always say, “I’m good.”And they might be the ones hurting the most.In this deeply personal episode, Evan Francen and Matt Goodacre shine a light on something we all overlook: the silent suffering of the strong ones — the leaders, the fixers, the ones who never ask for help.Based on Evan’s blog post, “Check on Your Strong Friends”, this conversation gets real about:Why high performers and helpers often hide their own painThe myth of strength as self-denialWhy “I’m fine” is sometimes the biggest red flagHow to show up for the people who hold everyone else togetherAnd why it’s time to stop assuming the strong ones are okay⸻ 🔔 It’s not just a reminder — it’s a challenge. Check on your strong friends. And let them check on you. #InfoSecToInSanity #MentalHealth #StrongFriends #CybersecurityCommunity #Vulnerability #NoMoreMasks
