In this raw and deeply moving podcast episode, Managing Director Marc Walters sits down with Dayle Hallam, Founder of MENATHON.

Dayle opens up completely about his darkest moments, recounting a past suicide attempt and reflecting on how close he came to missing out on the beautiful life, family, and supportive community of men he has built today.

Together, Marc and Dayle tackle the quiet battles that so many men face alone. They break down the heavy impact of financial stress, how social media creates an unrealistic "highlight reel" that exacerbates depression, and why the cultural pressure on men to always be "providers and leaders" prevents them from speaking up. This isn’t just a conversation about real estate or business - it is a vital, lifesaving reminder that it is okay to talk about it. If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time, please remember that you are not alone and there is always someone ready to listen
