Real change starts with real conversations.

When Sachin Latti and Glen Ivan set out to cross Canada, they didn’t expect the most powerful part of the journey to happen between the steps—in honest, off-the-cuff conversations with strangers.

In this episode, Canadian Men's Health Foundation’s CEO, Kenton Boston, welcomes them back to the podcast, joined by Dr. David Kuhl, to reflect on what these moments are teaching them. From roadside chats to quiet community meetups, it’s clear: the people they meet aren’t looking for advice—they’re looking for connection.

Together, they explore why openness matters, how simply “going first” gives others permission to speak up, and why creating space for these conversations may be the most powerful tool we have for men’s mental health.

The Don’t Change Much Podcast is about men’s mental and physical health and conversations that build awareness, educate and provide simple lifestyle tips to help men and their families take action for better well-being. 

Each episode, host Dan Murphy is joined by Canada’s top influencers, world class athletes and subject matter experts who share their lived experiences and insights for better mental and physical health. 

The goal is to have real conversations about the things so many of us don’t prioritize: lowering stress, eating healthier, getting active and the impacts of not taking care of ourselves. 

Don’t Change Much is all about encouraging men to make simple changes that can have a big impact on their health, their families and their communities. Better health doesn’t have to mean a lifestyle overhaul.

How a Cross-Canada Run is Sparking Deep Conversations

Introduction: The Struggle with Humility

The Importance of Human Connection

 Personal Journeys: Overcoming Challenges

The Power of Vulnerability and Asking for Help

 A Heartbreaking Loss: Mike's Story

Honoring Colleen: Making Beautiful Shit Happen

Finding Beauty in Grief: Trevor's Story

Finding Strength in Vulnerability

Overcoming Addiction and Self-Discovery

The Importance of Sharing Stories

 Navigating Shame and Forgiveness

Building a Hopeful Future

What happens when two men sit down, drop the armour, and tell the truth about who they really are? On this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, we introduce our new co-hosts, Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin—two guys who have lived through rock bottom, rebuilt their lives, and are still doing the work every day.

They share the same mission: help men close the gap between who they are and who they want to be.

In this raw and hopeful conversation, Mike and Trevor unpack what healing actually looks like for men—navigating shame, asking for help, getting blindsided by grief, and learning to show up as the man you want to be, not the one you’re pretending to be. They share their stories of addiction, trauma, devastating loss, and the life-saving power of connection.

What emerges is a powerful reminder that resilience isn’t only about being strong… it’s also about learning to feel again.

This isn’t self-help fluff. It’s the hard, uncomfortable, life-changing work of becoming emotionally honest.

You’ll hear:
 • Why men avoid asking for help and how to break that pattern
• How shame fuels isolation and what stops it from running your life
• The simple question Mike uses to course-correct when he’s slipping
• Why Trevor believes self-forgiveness is the most unselfish thing a man can do

If you’ve ever felt stuck, alone, or like you’re not the man you want to be, this conversation is your reminder: healing is possible… and you don’t have to do it on your own.

How Men Are Healing: Shame, Hope, and the Hard Work of Change

We've been taught that supporting men's health somehow takes away from supporting women's health. This episode shatters that zero-sum myth, arguing that raising one boat raises all.

Host Buzz Bishop is joined by Nicky Dhaliwal (Canadian Men's Health Foundation), Mike Cameron (Connected Men), and Clair Davis (Midlife Mentors) to discuss why men's health is family health. 

The group gets honest about what they’re seeing in homes, workplaces, and communities: women feeling judged for supporting men; men afraid of mentoring after #MeToo; and young men experiencing anger at nearly double the national rate. 

They dive into startling CMHF research showing 50% of young men (19–29) are at risk of problem anger and violent impulses. The key to breaking this cycle and building resilience? Deep Connection

This episode offers tangible self-care and connection steps to support men's mental health:
The Power of Exclusive Spaces: Why men-only workshops create a unique, safe dynamic where men feel permission to open up and be vulnerable.
Be Curious, Not Assuming: Claire shares the need to be curious about the men in your life and avoid the shame-based assumptions that keep the shadow bag closed.
Use Silence as a Tool: When you ask, "How are you?" allow the silence to breathe; that’s where the truth shows up.
Emotions Drive Behavior: Mike explains the sequence: emotion → decisions → behaviors → results.
Hug Until They Let Go: A beautifully simple piece of advice from CMHF/Blueprint for building stronger relationships with your kids.

A healthy man is not a perfect man. He just needs a thousand small acts of connection to move the needle. Tune in to find out how to create the space for those acts.
