Transforming Pain Into Purpose: Matt Brown's Story of Resilience and Mental Health Advocacy

Transforming Pain Into Purpose: Matt Brown's Story of Resilience and Mental Health Advocacy I had the absolute honour of sitting down with my friend Matt Brown to talk about his life, the lessons he has learnt and his life’s mission. Matt Brown, is a New Zealand born Samoan and an author, communicator, an internationally acclaimed barber and hair artist; known for giving great cuts and inspiring great men.This is the second time I had the privilege to interview Matt. We spoke about where he is on his journey now, and all of the incredible things both Matt and his amazing wife Sarah are doing for the people of Aotearoa.Matt and Sarah opened The She is Not Your Rehab Art Gallery in Christchurch, displaying the thought-provoking body of work entitled, “Who is She?” These prints are incredible and the funding goes to an amazing cause.Along with the Art Gallery, Sarah and Matt recently launched the “Inner Boy” App, which is an app designed to support men in healing from intergenerational trauma and abuse. This is a free app and has already helped so many people.Please share this episode with everyone you know, and if you haven’t bought it already, please buy a copy of Matt and Sarah’s incredible book She is Not your Rehab.Download the “Inner Boy” App here - https://innerboy.nzConnect with Matt here - https://www.instagram.com/sheisnotyourrehab/Check out The She is Not Your Rehab Gallery here - https://www.sheisnotyourrehab.com/art-gallery/ ----Click here to Become a VIP supporter of Lead On Purpose: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1583287/supportIf you would like to help James continue to bring on world-class guests, please consider making a small recurring donation to cover the back end, admin and editing costs.
