Most men know when something isn't right.

The problem is they often wait.

A checkup gets pushed to next month. A difficult conversation gets delayed. Stress, grief, anxiety, or pain gets buried beneath work, responsibilities, and the belief that they'll handle it on their own.

In this episode of the Don't Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin are joined by Graham Love and John Armstrong of Armstrong Strategies, along with Andrew Jackson of Jackson Events, to discuss the story behind the Suspenders On campaign and the message at the heart of it: Never Alone.

What started as a simple fundraising idea inspired by Graham's grandfather quickly became something much bigger. The group shares personal stories of loved ones lost too soon, cancer diagnoses caught just in time, mental health struggles, and the moments that finally pushed them to ask for help.

You’ll hear:
Why men often ignore warning signs
The hidden struggles of high performers, athletes, tradespeople, and leaders
The power of a simple conversation
How support from others can change the course of a life
Why "I'll deal with it later" can be a dangerous mindset 

Because sometimes the strongest thing a man can do is stop carrying everything alone. You don't have to wait. You don't have to figure it out by yourself and you're never alone.

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.

Don't Change Much

The Don’t Change Much Podcast is a men’s mental and physical health podcast for men who feel overwhelmed, under pressure, or quietly carrying more than they let on.

Hosted by Trevor Botkin and Mike Cameron, the show features honest, stigma-free conversations about men’s health — from mental health and emotional well-being to physical health, stress, anger, relationships, addiction, and resilience.

Twice a month, Trevor and Mike sit down with athletes, health experts, influential Canadians, and people with lived experience to talk about what men are facing right now. These are real conversations about feeling disconnected, struggling in silence, navigating loss or illness, rebuilding after crisis, and learning how to ask for help without shame.

Created by the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, the trusted voice of men’s health, this podcast blends lived experience with expert-backed insight to help men take action earlier, prevent illness, and build healthier lives for themselves, their families, and their communities.

You don’t need to change everything.
Sometimes, not changing much, but changing something, can save your life.
