With his last name being O'Sullivan and mine being O'Connor, several years ago, we found ourselves sitting next to each other in a gigantic hall, and connected over feeling nervous about potentially tripping up while walking across a stage at some point in the next hour. We were both about to graduate with a psychology degree. Since that fateful day we've kept in touch, and Sam went on to become a qualified clinical psychologist. Over the years has launched some wonderful initiatives, one of which is Tough Talk, a documentary series that focuses on men's mental well-being and offers practical tools for mental health. In this episode, Sam and I discuss masculinity, the patriarchy and some of the trends that impact and affect men online, including gym culture and pornography. As a clinical psychologist, Sam also shares some of his general concerns about our social media landscape. This is a beautiful discussion, and it really does have the vibe of sitting down to chat with an old friend - so grab yourself a cuppa, and settle in.
