As a teacher, my guests and I aim to educate our listeners on topics like flesh eating bacteria, living with a disability, the experience of psychosis and how to avoid dating a narcissist. We also interview people who are making a real difference in their communities & why they started their charities. Join us because together we build the strength of us.

Behind the Man Cave with Al Green

March 18, 2022 • Al Green • Season 1 • Episode 25

The Man Cave is a preventative mental health and emotional intelligence charity that empowers boys to become great men. Behind the charity, the academy and its programs is a diverse team including Al Green who is the Head of Community and an inspiring man who gives us hope that the future for men's mental health is bright.

In this episode we discuss suicide, the rights of passage boys enter to become men and how The Man Cave is working directly with teenage boys to bring about long term change in their lives.

We also discuss the softness that is emerging in our men and how leadership and sports people are using this to improve outcomes. For example the Richmond and Melbourne football clubs employed ‘an edge’ that many would say won them their premierships, do you know what it was?
