Walk for a Bloke – Let’s Talk About Men's suicide prevention. Part 1 of 2

Join Dave Quak as he sits down with Zac, Jared, and Brad for a raw and real chat about men’s suicide prevention. This one’s personal, powerful, and packed with purpose. The crew chats about the Walk for a Bloke event on the Gold Coast (25km from Surfers to Cooly), and why initiatives like this are more important than ever. We’re not here to sugar-coat anything — this is about showing up for your mates, starting real conversations, and walking side by side through the heaviness men often carry in silence. If you’re a man who’s been on the edge, or you know someone who is, this episode’s for you.
