Jamie Clements is the founder of the successful podcast Man Down which explores the subject of masculinity and vulnerability. As an entrepreneur and a man who has experienced his own mental health struggles, Jamie Clements discusses with our host Nektarios Liolios how men’s mental health is a complex subject and cannot be seen in isolation but within the wider context of a patriarchal system.



They discuss how, especially looking at business builders, there is an expectation on men having to be successful, resilient and financially savvy - an expectation that makes it difficult for men to acknowledge let alone open up to others about the difficulties of the entrepreneurial life and the mental health challenges that come with it.


This NAKED conversation will allow you to reflect on how society pressures men and how it affects their capabilities to express their feelings, build relationships and seek help.


Specific topics covered in this episode include:

Patriarchy:
Men’s Mental Health
Learning how to open up, communicate struggles and mental health issues.
