Tom Dickinson: Mastering Your Mindset

In this episode of Male Mind Matters, I sit down with public speaker, mindset coach, entrepreneur, and created of Tom’s Talks, Tom Dickerson. 

Tom shares his journey from a confident, talkative child to a young man grappling with loss, adversity, and suicidal thoughts. He opens up about the tragic passing of his brother, the emotional toll it took on him and his family, and how he initially buried himself in work to cope. But his turning point came when he broke down at his brother’s memorial and finally allowed himself to process his grief.

We dive into the moment that changed everything—his first school talk about male suicide and the importance of opening up, which led to the birth of Tom’s Talks. Tom also reveals his approach to mastering public speaking, the power of mindset shifts, and how he went from rock bottom to running a seven-figure business.

This episode has wisdom on entrepreneurship, self-belief, personal growth, and learning to reframe challenges as opportunities. Whether you’re struggling with adversity or looking for inspiration to chase your passion, this might be the conversation for you.
