Hi, I’m John, and we have something in common: a mind…

Six years ago I unexpectedly hit a major mental brick wall. I had no idea what it was or how to deal with it. Ever since I’ve been on a journey to learn all about the mind and how to manage it.

Through therapy, talking circles, deep (deep) conversation, mindfulness meditation, spirituality, personal research and much more besides, I’m fascinated with how people maintain their mental wellbeing.

Join me as I explore what it is we can do in the minutes, hours, days, months and years that make up our extraordinary lives to stay motivated, engaged and at peace with the world we live in.

John is a father, husband, co-founder of the mental wellbeing collective The Men Who:, ambassador for the Joshua Nolan Foundation and constant source of curiosity.

Episode 02 - How To: Find Purpose at Work, with Matthew Cameron

Matthew's journey into helping others feel purpose at work started with him sitting on the edge of his bed ready to give up on life altogether. He was once the kind of employee that companies put their systems and support structures in place for, hoping to help him grow and thrive. Yet somehow, he still managed to slip through the cracks. He has experienced first-hand the devastating impact that a negative work environment can have on an individual. It was a journey that led him from a dedicated employee to rock bottom, but through self-discovery and research, he now has the tools to help businesses prioritise their employees’ well-being and retention. It’s not about flashy perks or grand gestures; it’s about creating a culture that fosters happiness, motivation, and productivity. In this episode, John and Matthew explore how to find purpose in your work, why identifying your values is key to a fulfilling career, how to apply self-compassion and the importance of not being a d*ck.
