This is a bonus episode of In Good Company with Cathy Martin, The Belfast Telegraph's new business and lifestyle podcast. Conor Ferguson is an Olympic swimmer who's faced heartbreak by the narrowest of margins – missing out on the 2016 Rio Olympics by five hundredths of a second, and Tokyo in 2020 by four tenths. But rather than stepping away, he's turned what some might perceive as adversity into innovation, now co-founding Athlete Hub – a tech startup using AI to help athletes optimise every part of their performance.

In today's episode, I am so happy to welcome back Ashlee Gadd for an encouraging and practical conversation about friendship in motherhood and showing up for your people. Ashlee is a mother, writer, and founder of Coffee + Crumbs, and she has spent years helping women tell honest, beautiful stories about motherhood.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes revisit "In Good Company", '00s workplace dramedy starring Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, and Scarlett Johansson.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field like this film quite a bit. It has a warmth to it that still works, anchored by strong performances and a story that taps into the fear and uncertainty of a changing corporate landscape. That said, the movie struggles a bit with perspective. The Mikes discuss how it never fully decides whether Topher Grace or Dennis Quaid is the true protagonist, which muddies the emotional throughline.Butler also has some issues with the choices Quaid's character makes, finding that certain decisions do not ring true. And while the ending is satisfying on a surface level, it leans heavily into a very Hollywood resolution, tying things up a little too neatly for characters supposedly pushing back against corporate conformity and somehow winning.Even with those flaws, "In Good Company" remains a likable, well-meaning film with plenty of heart and enough insight to make it worth revisiting.

In this episode of Inside Men's Mental Health, I had the pleasure of speaking with my colleague and fellow men's health podcaster Dr. Paul Sharp, a senior lecturer at the University of New South Wales and researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of sociocultural factors, gender, and men's health. We dove into Dr. Sharp's journey from sports and human kinetics into the world of men's mental health, exploring how his experiences in gender-specific health programs revealed the importance of safe spaces for men to open up about their mental well-being. We discussed the concept of social capital and how environments like sports can provide men with the comfort to be vulnerable. Dr. Sharp shared insights from his research and podcast, In Good Company, highlighting the challenges men face in building and maintaining social connections, especially as life circumstances change. We reflected on the importance of peer support, the difficulty men often have in asking for help, and the value of small, everyday interactions in fostering connection. Please check out Dr. Sharp's podcast In Good Company for some great conversations and resources on men's mental health and wellness. Dr. Sharp also touched on the evolving landscape of health promotion, the need for thoughtful messaging, and the role of community in prevention. This conversation is a reminder that building strong relationships and being open to support are vital steps toward better mental health for men.

We are thrilled to be back with a brand new podcast series to go along with our brand new Coffee + Crumbs book, You're In Good Company. In upcoming weeks, you'll hear from every writer who contributed to this collection of essays—a true preview of what's inside these pages. First up, Katie shares how making sourdough is a metaphor for letting grief and healing take its time, while Ashlee introduces us to the idea that "friendship" can be a verb; it's something we do with commitment and consistency. We hope this episode (this whole series, really!) encourages you to live out the gift of friendship—right where you are, with the people in front of you. This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous Substack community. If you'd like to support the work we do for as little as $3/month, head to coffeeandcrumbs.substack.com to join us (and get bonus episodes!). For show notes, go to coffeeandcrumbs.net/podcast. Releasing You're In Good Company is a huge win; listen to this bonus episode to hear more about What Went Right for us last year.
