This week we welcome Sam Parker, founder of "Grab Life by the Balls," to discuss men's health and the power of community. Sam shares his journey and the charity's mission to foster mateship and support men's health and well-being. The conversation highlights the importance of social connections, the challenges men face in opening up, and the transformative impact of having three close mates. Sam also introduces an exciting initiative—a nationwide barbecue event Grab Life By The BBQ, aimed at raising awareness for men's health and the need for mateship. The episode is a heartfelt call to action for men to prioritise their well-being through community, connection and most importantly, mateship.
