How a Cross-Canada Run is Sparking Deep Conversations

Real change starts with real conversations.

When Sachin Latti and Glen Ivan set out to cross Canada, they didn’t expect the most powerful part of the journey to happen between the steps—in honest, off-the-cuff conversations with strangers.

In this episode, Canadian Men's Health Foundation’s CEO, Kenton Boston, welcomes them back to the podcast, joined by Dr. David Kuhl, to reflect on what these moments are teaching them. From roadside chats to quiet community meetups, it’s clear: the people they meet aren’t looking for advice—they’re looking for connection.

Together, they explore why openness matters, how simply “going first” gives others permission to speak up, and why creating space for these conversations may be the most powerful tool we have for men’s mental health.
