Show Notes
Mental health is a hot topic in the world today but the stigma associated with men and how they deal with their mental health issues has not changed. This is our introduction to the world. William and Mike are two men that have a lifetime of experience dealing with mental health issues. Depression, anxiety, addiction, we've dealt with all of it. We want to create an environment where men feel open and safe to discuss what's going on in their brain. We're not doctors and nothing in our show should be considered medical advice. We're open, honest and ready to help others find that inner voice and create a healthy dialog. We hope you enjoy our discussions and as the show progresses we'd love to hear from you. We want this to be interactive so check us out at www.facebook.com/manvsmood and post any questions you may have or topics you'd like to discuss

Lisa Willis was the number 5 pick in the 2006 WNBA draft, holds records at UCLA and played for Team USA but her accomplishments off the floor are far more impressive. Lisa wrote the book When The Buzzer Sounds to help former professional athletes make the jump from their playing days to life after the game. She also travels the world speaking to major corporations on leadership and works tirelessly to help both kids and adults through non-profit organizations. Lisa was kind enough to spend time with us discussing leadership and how we can help ourselves get centered and focus on the important things in life.

Brett is a super cool guy that knows the importance of engaging with our mental health, especially as men. His insight into leading kids, our roles as parents and how we can help our kids was awesome to hear.
