More Than Meets the Eye: Making the Invisible Visible | Nick Mayhugh

from Young Blood - Men’s Mental Health · host Cal MacPherson

Nick Mayhugh has a dead spot on his brain, but you wouldn't know it from looking at him. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 14 after a seizure, Nick was told he'd never play sport again, but he didn't listen. Instead, he used as fuel to defy the odds, playing soccer through high school and college, then becoming a star for the US Para 7-a-side soccer team, before making the switch to track. Nick burst onto the world stage at the Tokyo Paralympics, winning triple gold and breaking multiple world records, records he still holds today. But after reaching the pinnacle, Nick realised something most never do, that even achieving your wildest dreams won't give you everything you thought it would... So much more than the sum of his achievements, Nick's become a symbol of hope and a true leader making invisible disabilities visible so the world can see there's so much more than meets the eye. This is Nick Mayhugh...

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
