This episode is as raw and as real as it gets on the Building Men Podcast.  Gareth Shanthikumar shares his story of his upbringing in Australia, family dynamics, his battle with depression and how one of his closest relatives decision to commit suicide shook his foundation and changed his life.  

Gareth cofounded MAN UP in 2019 on the back of his own mental health loved experience. He aims to change the phrase ‘man up’ to mean something positive; to live authentically from one’s heart, embrace vulnerability and hold one another accountable to stand up for what’s right. Gareth is also a personal trainer & founder of EmPowered - through these medians he looks to give people the tools to develop their physical & emotional well-being.
