Hey Legends! Uploading this episode on Father\'s Day (6th Sept 2020) here in Australia, so a big HAPPY FATHER\'S DAY shoutout to all the fellow dads out there. Hope you guys also got a cuppa in bed and some pretty awesome artwork like I did (even got a sleep in - WINNING!).   

\\n

On this episode I\'m joined by R U OK? Community Ambassador for Newcastle Ben Burgess to talk about his own mental health journey, about how R U OK? Day acts as an important reminder and call to action for something that we should all be mindful of each and everyday (not just one day a year), but also what to do next after asking someone if they\'re ok and the answer is "no, I\'m not ok".

\\n

I hope you enjoy the episode and get some value from the conversations shared. If you do, please make sure to share the episode / podcast across your own socials to help share the message for anyone else that may need to hear it.

\\n

Also, if you haven\'t done so already, take 2mins and go leave us a review / rating on your podcast listening service of choice - means a lot legends! 

\\n

Much love!
