MO9: As part of my 30 day challenge of doing exercise with 30 different men in my community over the month of November, I caught up with my mate and new dad, Chris. While walking and talking, Chris shared about the peaks (getting smiled at and building a report with the little one) and pits (mostly the lack of sleep!) of being a new parent and how it’s been important for him to make time to look after his health, even while being a primary carer to ensure his best self can show up for his young family.

MO9: Threw some wonky passes with my mate Connor (how about that ‘tash!) in the park as part of my 30 day challenge of connecting with 30 different blokes in my community for the month of November. Between passes, we got to talk about our connection to different communities through our passions and how important those outlets are to have when dealing with the different curveballs life can throw at you.

Also, shout out Rui for the dope Polaroid pic!

MO8: As part of my challenge, I went for a walk in the park this morning with Dan and his little dog Mif. Working in high stakes sports and entertainment roles, where a lot of deliverables fall in a short space of the year, he knows a thing or two about how to keep cool when your backs against the wall and need to get the job done. Beating the rain as best we could, we got a good chat in about the importance of having systems in place to disconnect from work, having hobbies and surrounding yourself with a good community to manage stress when the going gets tough.

MO5: Day 5 of the 30 day challenge of spending an hour doing exercise with a different man in my community. Shout out to Shiv, who has been my mate since 2018 when we both got our career breaks together at Cricket Australia. One of the most resilient professionals I know!

MO4: For today’s hour effort with a different member of my community I played basketball with my uso, Rui (I’m worse than I remember or Rui has gotten a lot better since we last played, probably both). A key topic of conversation was the need to be more mindful and intentional about our health as we start to really enter those years where men’s health issues become less uncommon. Both of us have a family history of different ailments, so it was a timely reminder to not take good health for granted and do what we can to keep on top.

MO3: Today’s hour of exercise was extra special — I got it in with none other than my best mate, the guy I’ve known since I was 15 and who’ll be standing by my side as best man at my wedding next year.

It’s pretty unreal to say, but this challenge — and the conversations around mental health and the loads we carry — helped us both open up and learn so much more about each other. Crazy to think two blokes can go through life side by side and still not realise the weight the other is carrying.
That’s exactly why I’m doing this.

MO2: Got a good gym session in with my buddy, Shane, from my local football team. It’s the first time we’ve properly had the chance to talk about life and despite Shane going to Oasis last night, he show up for me to support my fundraiser. If you’re reading this bro, thank you so much.

MO1: Got in over an hour of exercise with a good buddy of mine, Julio, who lives interstate. It was great to catch up and talk about all the things weighing on our minds and what we are looking forward to in the future. Love ya mate.
