Funky Fridays With Bo

For this episode, we celebrate Movember. We will be creating meaningful conversation surrounding men's health issues in the hope to that we can openly talk about mental and physical wellbeing and change the face of masculinity and push society towards a more open and honest future for men's health.  Explore why it is important to de-stigmatise mental health issues surrounding men and the importance of promoting healthy masculinity and encouraging men to express and communicate their feelings in an open and honest way. The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcast and Google Podcast as well as in Podbean. If you have any feedback or comments, do engage me at my social media pages of Funky Fridays With Bo.

Words have a powerful meaning, though we are taught to say “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Words have more of an impact on us than we would like to admit. Words can be used to hurt other people. In this podcast, I would like to explore why would it hurt if you give "LABELS" to people with mental health issues. Labels are all around us. We make judgments, labeling people and ourselves. And those labels stick to us and create obstacles in our path. We hold on to those labels, and we define ourselves by them. Labels may seem innocuous, but they can be harmful. Labeling ourselves can negatively affect our self-esteem and hold us back. And labeling people can cause the persistence of negative stereotypes. So listen to the podcast now and catch up again at the next episode of the Funky Fridays With Bo in collaboration with It All Starts Hear.SG.  

In this episode of Funky Fridays with Bo Podcast, join host Magic Bo as he speaks with Chief Strategist & Founder of Anthology, Chris Leong Tokunari. As an entrepreneur in Singapore, Chris has always been digging deeper, working harder and go on all fours to complete an assignment. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, most of his works in events had to be stopped and it takes a common enemy for humanity to blossom, and it takes dark times to remind us that the only way to survive is by sticking together.Chris then started the movement "We Will Rise Again." In a series of videos, Chris produced engaging content about the faces, the places and the spirit of Singapore. Through the eyes of those who continually rise to the occasion and remain strong and resilient in these hard times, that we can truly see a resolve to shine and rise again. Chris also shared what it takes to be an entrepreneur how resilience and grit can bring one forward!Catch the full conversation here:[Show Notes will be available soon]Loved what you’ve heard on this week’s episode?
