From Artillery Soldier to TikTok - Wayne Hannah's Journey of Laughter and Resilience

We're thrilled to welcome Wayne Hannah, the mastermind behind "Mindful'Ish" on YouTube and "@goodmorningassholes" on TikTok. Wayne is a humorist, content creator, firefighter, and veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. After serving 20 years as an artillery soldier, Wayne's journey took him from counteracting Somali pirates to injecting humour into the "dry morning announcements" on a Naval Vessel during one of the longest at-sea deployments since World War II.

Wayne's passion for bringing laughter to others has earned him a massive online community of over 230,000 followers on TikTok. As a dedicated mental health advocate, Wayne's iconic "Good Morning Assholes" greeting is a reminder that we often treat ourselves more harshly than anyone else. He created this content during the pandemic, realizing the importance of self-compassion as he was his own biggest critic and he was saying hi to himself, referring to himself as an asshole.

Wayne Hannah, CD, holds the Canadian Forces' Decoration, awarded to members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have completed twelve years of service under specific conditions. While Wayne values his military experiences and the leaders he encountered, he also candidly discusses the deep-rooted belief of not being good enough that led to ongoing mental health struggles.

Join us as we dive into Wayne's incredible and diverse journey, exploring the challenges and rewards that have shaped his life. Don't miss this inspiring conversation filled with humour, resilience, and valuable insights.
