UIOK 299: Luke McFarlane Kiwi Dude's talking mental health
This week on the podcast I'm joined by an old High School mate, Luke McFarlane.
Luke and a couple of his mates have set up The Lighthouse Project Charitable Trust which aims to raise money for local legends doing their bit to improve men's mental health here in New Zealand.
Earlier this year, Luke and his mates road tripped 6000km around New Zealand in 12 days stopping at 24 prominent Kiwi lighthouses along the way, and catching up with local legends striving to improve wellbeing in their communities.
In this episode we talk through
Luke's journey with his mental health
The ins and outs of 4 dudes in a campervan for 12 days on a tight schedule
Some of the awesome people working to improve the health of Kiwis
Opening up the conversation around mental health with your mates
Role modelling honesty in how we are actually doing
What the Lighthouse Project is striving for
Challenges of fatherhood
Some ways that we like to look after ourselves
