Tim Hewson | Manifestly Good #001

What does it really mean to be a good man — and who teaches us how?In this very first episode of Manifestly Good, Simon sits down with Tim Hewson — founder of Mongrels Men Health & Wellbeing, mental health advocate, speaker, and father — for a raw and thoughtful conversation about masculinity, mental health, and the quiet courage it takes for men to open up.After nearly three decades leading teams inside major financial institutions, Tim made a bold pivot. Seeing firsthand how many men were silently struggling, he stepped away from corporate life to create Mongrels Men — a community helping men build emotional strength, connection, and the confidence to talk honestly about what’s really going on.Together, Simon and Tim explore:- Why so many men feel isolated, even when surrounded by people- The cost of “just pushing through”- What healthy masculinity actually looks like in practice- Fatherhood, friendship, and showing up for the men around us- How small, brave conversations can change — and even save — livesThis conversation is warm, grounded, and deeply human — the kind of discussion that inspired the creation of Manifestly Good in the first place.If you’ve ever wondered how to be a better man, father, partner, or mate — this episode is a powerful place to start.Connect with Tim & Mongrels Men: https://mongrelsmen.com/00:00 Welcome01:30 Tim's biggest influences06:24 The shift to Mongrels Men10:30 Recognising struggle18:42 How has society changed?21:52 Tim's strength is tested30:39 What men need from each other34:08 The power of movement38:48 Shaping Gen Next41:20 Tim's biggest lessons51:12 Outro🌟 Subscribe to stay updated on future episodes📢 Share this video to help spread the word about Manifestly Good
