Welcome to the Men of Words Podcast! This is a platform for conversation with successful people about Mental Health. Our aim is to speak to males at the top of their fields across sport, business, music and anything in between to hear stories of adversity, failure, success and the Mental Health journey throughout. Opening up about these issues is historically not our strong-suit as males and that is the area we are hoping to have some affect. Liam (Murph) and Michael (Muff) are long time friends with intersecting journeys through the highs and lows of Mental Health, having had personal and professional relationships for years and many conversations like the ones we are choosing to have with these elite performers.Our goal is a simple one. If we can motivate someone to have a conversation about their mental health, be it with friends, family or a professional, then we have achieved our goal. Thanks so much for listening, for any questions or queries please contact us through Instagram @menofwordspodcast or email us at menofwordspodcast@gmail.com If you need support, it's there. Talk to a friend, family, your GP or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Adam Treloar
Our 1st chat back this week is with Western Bulldogs Adam Treloar, and we love that on the day of it's release we've got cohost Liam Stocker lining up against our guest tonight at Marvel Stadium!!
Adam has lead the atypical life for people at the elite level of footy anf this was an incredibly humbling conversation to say the least. Adam has felt the benefits of sharing his Mental Health struggles in the past and is now such a vocal and proactive leader in this space, we are very proud to have had him along for this episode and we hope you enjoy!

Daniel Gorringe
From the outside looking in, Dan has it all. A past career as a professional AFL Footballer, runner-up success on Australia's version of one of the world's most recognisable reality TV shows - Big Brother and an incredibly enviable social media presence, amassing over 9 million followers (yes, 9 million) and over 486 million likes on his TikTok!
However, we learnt very quickly that the other side of Dan is as raw and vulnerable as many of us without his status.
We can't thank Dan enough for joining us and diving in straight away into some stories and experiences that many of us wouldn't know or expect from such an outwardly positive, humorous superstar!
We are really grateful to Dan for joining us on the pod and took so many learnings from this chat. We hope you enjoy and can take as much out of this one as we did.
Big love, MoW. -
Control the Controllable
Mini number 7. The last one before big life changes, start of AFL seasons so it was nice to find an hour for us to put it in neutral and catch up.
If we haven't recommended this before, then we can't say enough how much it's worth to have conversations like this. Just to put the tools down, focus on a meaningful conversation with people you trust is so valuable.
It's not lost on us how lucky we are to have each other to talk to, we hope that it inspires people to do the same.
Enjoy! MoW. -
Aiden Clarke - Posisocks
Continuing our chats with people in the philanthropic world... Aiden Clarke is the founder of Posisocks. They are spreading positivity one pair of socks at a time and not only are we all about the mission, we are also in the socks!
Aiden joined us for a conversation and true to the mission of Posisocks, he brought his honesty and positive self into the studio and oh boy are we grateful for it. Nothing like a fresh pair of socks... Enjoy!

Milky Chance Returns
Of the many conversations we had over Zoom during Covid, this was an especially nice one to finally have in person!
Phil and Clemens from Milky Chance we're in Australia as a part of their World Tour and came for a beautiful conversation. The guys are so considerate and have such a special relationship, having been friends and bandmates since they were in high school along with the other members of the band.
They have very positive things to say about Aus, they are all for men feeling ok with these conversations about Mental Health and we appreciate them joining us!
