Gus Worland is a TV, podcast and radio host, and the director and founder of the mental health foundation Gotcha4life. Gus is a passionate advocate for building mental fitness. Gus is particularly good at helping women connect with the men in their lives in ways that enable vulnerable and real conversations about their mental health.
We chat:
- Gus’ childhood friendship with Hugh Jackman, or ‘Jacko’ as he calls him
- Whether Gus is jealous of Hugh’s friendship with Ryan Reynolds
- What mental fitness is & why we have such an issue with mental health now
- Where men disproportionately struggle
- Why so many men are suffering in silence and don’t speak up when they’re struggling
- Not letting anyone struggle alone
- Creating ‘villages’ around us
Gus also speaks about some really practical ways that we can connect with blokes, not try to ‘fix’ everything and create relationships where they feel comfortable speaking up.
