A Better Man

by Brett Watton

The Better Man is a podcast about becoming better at the things that actually matter. Being a better partner, father, mate, son and person. Looking after your mental, social and physical health. Building a career, managing money, making better decisions, dealing with setbacks and finding some purpose along the way. This isn't about becoming the richest, strongest or most successful man in the room. It's about navigating everyday life, learning from experience and trying to become someone you and the people around you, can be proud of. No one has it all figured out. We're just trying to get a little better.
