The day we recorded this episode, another veteran from Si's regiment had committed suicide.
We have both lost mates to the black dog over the years, and it has become apparent that the conventional tools and methods used by the government-run mental health organisations are not sufficient for a large portion of those in need.
Swiss 8 and Head-Up Charity are changing the game. Swiss 8 is a veteran-run organisation that is based out of Australia, that provides their people with an app that delivers their 8 pillars of health and wellness directly to their phone, so they can structure in and schedule the important cornerstone habits that will have a positive, flow-on effect through the rest of their day to manage their mind.
Head-Up Charity is a veteran-run organisation operating out of the UK. Their goal is to build a state-of-the-art resort-style facility in the countryside, to provide a place for those seeking proactive mental health strategies they can then take away, and apply to their own lives on a daily basis, with the intent to also pass on these tools and methods to their mates who may be dealing with their own mental health battles.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."
The odds were stacked against me:
● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life
● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school
● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000
14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
