It’s Not Weakness; It’s Wisdom
When did asking for help become a weakness?
It’s one of the wisest, most self-aware decisions we men can make. You see in 2025 it's important to realise that nobody expects us men to have all the answers or carry every burden alone.
As men we must realise that the Stress in our personal and corporate lives and the mental health challenges we face as we go into our heads while ruminating about issues from the past and worry about the future can feel isolating, but the truth is, you’re never truly alone, and I really want every man to realise that. There’s always someone who will listen, support, and guide us through a challenging time.
I wrote "The Bulletproof Banker" to share my corporate journey to mental exhaustion, a journey driven by my inability to ask for help, a belief system that thought I had to have all the answers, a journey that left my wife to do everything at home with children while having her own career as I was in my head chasing corporate success regardless of the challenge, nothing could get in the way of success, not even being in 7 armed robberies. But beware there is always a price to pay for success, are you willing to pay it? because it could be the ultimate price and a lot of men have paid that price. The book is there to help other men identify themselves in my story so they can slow down and redefine their way in life.
I have learned that managing stress, setting boundaries, and living authentically to your values all start with one hard step: reaching out.
So this year in 2025 , let’s all us men normalise the conversation around men’s mental health and help one another. If you’re struggling, take the brave step of asking for help there are many of us men out there with the experience and willingness to help.
You deserve support.
