From workplace wellbeing, burnout, psychological safety and inclusion, to parenting, men’s mental health, resilience, digital wellbeing, leadership and the human stories behind change, each episode asks what it really takes to move from awareness to action.
This is a space for practical insight, personal honesty and better conversations about how we live, lead and support one another.

'Men are dying in the dark' - stage 4 cancer patient's powerful mission
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Imagine being diagnosed with stage four cancer. How would you react? How would you feel? And how would you go forward from there?
Steve Ashby, is a man who received a devastating stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, and, instead of retreating into silence, chose to rise.
Quite literally.
In the latest episode of the mentl space, we sit down with Steve, the founder of Rise, a movement dedicated to saving men’s lives through early detection, breaking the stigma around prostate cancer, and offering support to those who feel alone in their journey.
A Life-Changing Moment
On August 1st last year, Steve received news that would stop most people in their tracks: he had the cancer and it had metastasized.
For two days, he felt numb. Then, in a moment of vulnerability, he broke down.
But by the third week of August, he had built something new—Rise. A platform for awareness, for action, and for ensuring no man has to battle this disease in silence.
The Million Men Mission
Steve’s goal is both ambitious and urgent: to ensure that one million men get tested for prostate cancer through simple, non-invasive PSA tests.
Find out more about Steve's powerful story and inspiring mission now.
