What is the value of mateship and social connection, especially in mining communities? In this episode we welcome new Full Production host, Keepa Mewett as he has a yarn to Full Production veteran, Sam Parker.
We invite Sam back on the show to chat about the evolution of his movement, Grab Life by the Balls since we talked to him in 2019. Sam uncovers how today’s society is changing rapidly, and how that trickles down to the mining industry. He also updates us on what you can do now to take charge of your mental health and lifestyle.
Listen in to hear why Sam says men’s mental health is more important than ever.
We discussed:
- The ups-and-downs over the last year and how Sam has held up during the “Big C”.
- What this time has highlighted in men’s mental health and what you can do about it.
- How mateship applies to mining and how to break out a rut on your days off.
- Why being aware of your lifestyle can help upgrade your life.
- How to deal with uncertainty and stress.
- Resources for those looking to get involved in Grab Life By The Balls or learn more.
