Man Down: The Anti-Man-Up Movement

Focusing on men's mental health, I will be speaking to inspirational men about their mental health journey to show that vulnerability isn't rooted in weakness, but in strength. Vulnerability is contagious. Throughout these interviews, I am hoping to demonstrate the power of ruthlessly authentic vulnerability from inspiring people to create a world where all of us can be our true selves and create real connections. As Matt Haig says, 'man up' is not a call to courage, but a demand of weakness'. Man up is finished.

#54 - Mo Gawdat: Happiness, Masculinity and Artificial Intelligence

This week's very special episode of Man Down is with the brilliant Mo Gawdat. Mo is the former Chief Business Officer of Google X (Google's so-called 'moonshot factory' responsible for off-the-wall ideas such as self-driving cars and a balloon-powered internet) but for many years, despite his success, he found himself deeply unhappy. After experiencing the tragic loss of his son, he set out to find out what it truly means to be happy and to share the teachings of his son with the masses. Mo is the author of Solve for Happy and host of the Slo Mo Podcast, and his most recent book, Scary Smart, a call to action for all of us to wake up to the reality of Artificial Intelligence.

Mo and I discuss what it means to be truly happy, the role of masculinity within this and of course, the rise of A.I and what we all need to be thinking about when it comes to the so called 'rise' of the machines.

I hope you enjoy it!
