Most men have been taught to handle it themselves. The problem is that silence has a cost. And Canada's Minister of Health — a woman, no less — isn't willing to stay quiet about it. Loneliness gets brushed off as nothing. The pressure to "be strong" gets handed down to sons and grandsons. Addiction and suicide rates climb, and warning signs get missed because no one was ever supposed to ask for help in the first place. In this episode of the Don't Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with the Honourable Marjorie Michel to talk about the federal consultation on a national Men and Boys Health Strategy, and why she decided this was a challenge worth picking. What started as a series of cross-country conversations turned into a wake-up call. Hon. Minister Michel shares how the same word kept coming up, trip after trip, across trades workers, fathers, and Indigenous communities alike, and how that pattern convinced her — a self-described lifelong feminist — that men's health needed its own seat at the table. The conversation moves through loneliness, the pressure to perform masculinity, the addiction and suicide statistics she can't ignore as Canada’s Health Minister, and why she believes progress for men and progress for women aren't in competition with each other. You'll hear: Why the Minister calls herself "the holistic Minister of Health" How a pattern of conversations on the road turned into a national consultation The link between trades work, injury, and addiction Why men need space to talk without women in the room, and why that's not a "boys' club" What the Minister wants every man and boy to know about asking for help Because no policy, no government, and no single person can carry this alone. Sometimes leadership just means opening the door to a conversation that's long overdue. Get your Suspenders On this June. Wear them. Share why. Donate. Invite others.

Most men know when something isn't right. The problem is they often wait. A checkup gets pushed to next month. A difficult conversation gets delayed. The little voice in the back of the head gets ignored until it can't be ignored anymore. This June, the Canadian Men's Health Foundation is asking Canadians to get their Suspenders On — a simple visual reminder that men are never meant to carry everything alone. In this episode, Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with the men behind the campaign: Graham Love and John Armstrong of Armstrong Strategy Group, who built Suspenders On from the ground up, and Andrew Jackson of Jackson Events, who's helping rally NHL alumni and other Canadian athletes to put their suspenders on too. The idea started six weeks before launch, in a brainstorm at the Armstrong office. Graham thought of his grandfather — a Glaswegian shipbuilder who wore suspenders so often the marks were on his back. The image stuck, the campaign followed. What the conversation reveals is everything underneath it. John Armstrong tells the story of a pact he made with a colleague who needed to see a doctor: if you go, I'll go. The appointment that followed caught John's prostate cancer in time. Graham wears his suspenders for his brother Andrew, who died of liver cancer in 2022 and who Graham believes might still be here if anyone had nudged him sooner. Andrew Jackson opens up about a friend who made him promise to see a doctor before he died of stomach cancer at 56, about losing hockey alumnus Claude Lemieux just days before recording, and about a moment in his own office when a colleague asked him what the hell is wrong with you, and he finally let it out. Some of what they talk about: The joke that captures the whole campaign: "Women go to the doctor for the same reason men don't; in case there's something wrong" Why high performers in sports, business, and the trades are especially good at carrying things they shouldn't The relief that arrives the moment a man finally says it out loud How "I'll deal with it later" becomes the most dangerous sentence in men's health Get your Suspenders On this June.

Fatherhood does not come with a manual. For a lot of men, it comes with pressure, fear, old patterns, and the quiet belief that they are supposed to figure it out on their own. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with Brandon Hay and Dr. David Kuhl for a grounded conversation about fatherhood, community, and the places men finally talk. Mike brings the lens of a proud father watching his son step into adulthood, while Trevor connects the conversation to recovery, ceremony, and the power of finding yourself in a room with other men who understand. Brandon shares the work behind Black Daddies Club, Sunday Dinners, barbershop conversations, hikes, and community spaces built with Black fathers and men, not for them from a distance. David adds his perspective on why men’s health support works best when it goes where men already are and creates the right conditions for honesty. Together, they explore what happens when men have spaces where the mask can come down, mentorship can happen naturally, and fatherhood can be figured out in community. You’ll hear: Why fatherhood can feel isolating, even when men care deeply How community spaces help men speak honestly without forcing it Why support has to be built with men, not handed down to them How mentorship, food, ceremony, and shared experience can change what men believe is possible This is a conversation about men, fatherhood, and connection.

Why are so many young men turning to the internet for answers? For a lot of guys, the search starts with something simple. A question about success. A question about relationships. A question about who they’re supposed to be. But it doesn’t take long before that search leads them into something bigger. The manosphere. A world of content that promises clarity, confidence, and control. But often comes with a very different cost. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with Dr. Paul Sharp, a researcher focused on men’s health and identity, to break down what’s really happening. They talk about why so many men feel lost right now. The role of social media algorithms in shaping beliefs. And why this content is spreading faster than ever. Because the reality is, most men aren’t looking for extremes. They’re looking for connection. They’re looking for belonging. They’re looking for answers. And when they don’t find that in real life, they go online. This conversation explores what draws men in, what keeps them there, and what we can do differently. Because this isn’t just about the internet. It’s about identity. It’s about community. It’s about what it means to be a man today. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the manosphere is growing and who it’s reaching How algorithms amplify extreme content over time What young men are really searching for online The impact of isolation and lack of connection Why traditional ideas of masculinity are being challenged How real-world relationships can counter online influence Simple ways to build stronger, more meaningful connections Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/ Follow Dr. Paul Sharp Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/5rSzbqlPjESA63g75f1xgl Website - https://www.unsw.edu.au/staff/paul-sharp Follow Canadian Men’s Health Foundation Website - https://menshealthfoundation.ca/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/menshealthfdn/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/menshealthfoundation Follow Mike Cameron Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikecameron.ca/ Youtube - https://youtube.com/mikecameronspeaks Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mikedavidcameron/ X - Mike Cameron (@axiommike) / X LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/mikecameronWebsite - https://mikecameron.ca/TedX Talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/mike_cameron_redefining_badass_the_way_we_think_about_strong_is_wrong Follow Trevor Botkin Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gsnscreative Muster Point IG - https://www.instagram.com/the_musterpoint Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/gsnscreative LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-botkin-869ab5143/ Support Men & Their Familes: https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“I got this.” For a lot of men, those three words feel like strength. But they can also be the loneliest words you’ll ever say. The “I got this” mentality often starts as resilience, but can turn into isolation. Learning to speak up, lean on others, and build support can actually make you stronger. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with Shawn Underhill and James Boseley. Two men who’ve spent years working in the trades and construction industry and know firsthand what it means to push through pain, stay silent, and carry more than they should. They share real stories from the job site. Long hours. Injuries. Chronic pain. Pressure to keep going no matter what. And what happens when you never stop? Because in the trades, asking for help doesn’t always feel like an option. The expectation is to be tough, to handle it, to figure it out on your own. But that mindset can come at a cost. Physical injuries that get worse over time. Mental health struggles that stay hidden. Pain that doesn’t just go away. Because you don’t need to hit rock bottom to make a change. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “I got this” can be both strength and a warning sign The hidden mental and physical cost of toughing it out How trades culture impacts men’s health and help-seeking behavior The connection between chronic pain, stress, and mental health Why many men avoid asking for help (and how to change that) How community and support can actually build resilience What real strength looks like in today’s world Simple ways to start opening up and getting support Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/ If you, a friend or a family member is looking for support to live better with chronic pain, please reach out to Pain BC https://painbc.ca/ Follow Canadian Men’s Health Foundation Website - https://menshealthfoundation.ca/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/menshealthfdn/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/menshealthfoundation Follow Mike Cameron Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikecameron.ca/ Youtube - https://youtube.com/mikecameronspeaks Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mikedavidcameron/ X - Mike Cameron (@axiommike) / X LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/mikecameron Website - https://mikecameron.ca/ TedX Talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/mike_cameron_redefining_badass_the_way_we_think_about_strong_is_wrong Follow Trevor Botkin Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gsnscreative Muster Point IG - https://www.instagram.com/the_musterpoint Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/gsnscreative LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-botkin-869ab5143/ Support Men & Their Familes: https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You feel fine. Nothing hurts. Everything seems normal. But that doesn’t always mean you’re healthy. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with medical oncologist and prevention researcher Dr. Zia Poonja to talk about a problem many men don’t realize they’re facing until it’s too late. The gap between feeling healthy and actually being healthy. Because for a lot of men, the warning signs don’t show up until years, sometimes decades, after the damage has already started. Dr. Poonja introduces the idea of healthspan. Not just how long you live, but how long you stay strong, capable, and independent. The conversation explores why so many men avoid doctors, delay testing, or assume they’re fine simply because they don’t have symptoms. And how that mindset can quietly lead to bigger problems later on. It also challenges the idea of “normal” health. Just because your numbers fall within a range doesn’t mean you’re operating at your best. One of the most powerful ideas in the episode is a simple shift in perspective. Instead of asking, “Do I feel okay right now?” Ask, “Am I building a body that will hold up 20 or 30 years from now?” Because the goal isn’t just to live longer. It’s to stay strong enough to actually enjoy the life you’ve built. This isn’t about fear or drastic change. It’s about paying attention earlier, making small adjustments, and giving yourself a better chance at a healthier future. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why many men feel healthy but aren’t actually healthy The difference between lifespan vs healthspan (and why it matters) Why waiting for symptoms is one of the biggest health mistakes men make How “normal” test results can still hide underlying risk Why strength and muscle are critical for long-term health The real reason men avoid doctors and delay testing How to start thinking about your future health today Simple ways men can take a more proactive approach to their health Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/ Follow Dr Zia Poonja LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-zia-poonja-38481237/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/my_healthspan/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ownmyhealthspan/ Website - https://www.myhealthspan.com/ Follow Canadian Men’s Health Foundation Website - https://menshealthfoundation.ca/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/menshealthfdn/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/menshealthfoundation Follow Mike Cameron Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikecameron.ca/ Youtube - https://youtube.com/mikecameronspeaks Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mikedavidcameron/ X - Mike Cameron (@axiommike) / X LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/mikecameronWebsite - https://mikecameron.ca/TedX Talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/mike_cameron_redefining_badass_the_way_we_think_about_strong_is_wrong Follow Trevor Botkin Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gsnscreative Muster Point IG - https://www.instagram.com/the_musterpoint Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/gsnscreative LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-botkin-869ab5143/ Support Men & Their Familes: https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/ The career is steady. The family is healthy. And on paper, life looks exactly the way it’s supposed to. But internally, the weight of carrying it all is starting to feel unsustainable. You might even catch yourself wondering why you feel so exhausted when you have so much to be grateful for. Sometimes life can look fine on the outside and still feel heavy on the inside. In this special live recording of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with broadcaster Chris Gailus, Paralympic gold medalist Greg Stewart, and comedian Toby Hargrave for an honest conversation about the things men don’t usually say out loud. Chris shares how a sudden medical emergency forced him to start paying closer attention to his health. Greg reflects on how tying his identity to achievement left him searching for who he really was. Toby talks about the moment he realized burnout had quietly caught up with him. And Trevor speaks openly about the cost of pretending everything was fine when it wasn’t. What follows is a conversation about the pressure many men feel to hold everything together and what happens when that pressure finally cracks. The discussion moves from the “armor” men wear as providers to the simple but powerful idea of being a lighthouse for the people around them: someone who shows up, stands steady, and listens. In this episode you’ll hear about: The "Lighthouse" Concept: Why you don’t need to steer someone else's ship; you just need to stand on solid rock. Body Literacy: Recognizing when your physical symptoms like shortness of breath or persistent pain are actually a cry for help. The Guilt Gap: Breaking the cycle of resentment that comes from struggling while "having it good." Spontaneous Connection: Why the most important conversations don't happen at a boardroom table, but in the middle of everyday life. This isn’t a lecture or a self-help formula. It’s a group of men telling the truth about their lives and discovering that honesty might be one of the strongest things a man can do.

Support This Podcast and Canadian Men's Health Foundation https://menshealthfoundation.ca/donate/ There are things many men carry that no one sees. Grief. Trauma. Pressure to hold it together. The belief that if you slow down or speak up, you’ll fall apart or let someone else down. In this episode, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down with former NHL player Bob Wilkie and filmmaker Shayne Putzlocher to talk about the documentary Sideways and the story behind it. At 17, Bob survived the 1986 Swift Current Broncos bus crash that killed four of his teammates. What followed wasn’t just resilience. It was silence. Substance use. Suicidal thoughts. Years of trying to function while carrying more than he knew how to process. The conversation moves beyond the crash. They unpack the belief that “caring” means worrying, stressing, and losing sleep. That if you’re not overwhelmed, you must not care enough. But when stress becomes constant, it doesn’t make you stronger, it just gets heavier. Eventually, that weight shows up somewhere. In your health. In your relationships. In the way you move through your own life. Inside this episode: Why silence can feel safer than telling the truth What unprocessed trauma can look like years later The difference between caring and carrying too much Practical language for setting boundaries without blowing up relationships How small moments of honesty reduce shame This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about taking the pack off your back, even for a minute, so you don’t have to carry it alone.

Comfort can feel like relief. Staying quiet. Keeping things to yourself. Not risking rejection. For a lot of men, that comfort slowly turns into distance, and then into loneliness. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin talk openly about how isolation becomes a habit long before it becomes a problem. Drawing from their own lives, leadership roles, relationships, and past struggles, they unpack how choosing comfort can quietly cost men the connection they actually want. They explore what happens when men wear masks, manage impressions, or keep people at arm’s length to stay in control. The conversation moves through fear of rejection, the urge to self-isolate, and the belief that independence means handling everything alone. The shift comes when both men name a hard truth: connection doesn’t break when you speak up, it breaks when you disappear. This isn’t about forcing vulnerability or oversharing. It’s about learning to listen, to stay present, and to let yourself be seen without trying to manage the outcome. You’ll hear: How comfort can slowly replace real connection Why isolation often feels safer than risking rejection What actually helps men open up without losing themselves Small, practical ways to rebuild connection without changing everything Before they close, Mike and Trevor leave listeners with two simple challenges: Reach out to someone who has impacted you in a positive way and let them know. Start a conversation with a stranger who is different than you. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, even while surrounded by people, this conversation meets you where you are.

A lot of men were taught that resilience means pushing through.Staying quiet. Handling it alone. Running on empty and calling it strength. In this episode, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin slow that story down and take it apart, not as experts looking down, but as men who’ve lived the cost of getting it wrong. Joined by returning guest Dr. David Kuhl, physician, professor, and longtime voice in men’s health, the conversation explores what resilience actually looks like when life brings grief, shame, burnout, or emotional numbness. Drawing from decades of experience in palliative care and trauma-informed work, Dr. Kuhl reframes resilience as a dynamic, relational process shaped by our bodies, our relationships, and the environments we live and work in. Mike shares how unspoken shame followed him years after exiting a business and quietly showed up in his relationship. Trevor reflects on how confusing endurance for resilience led him to self-neglect, substance use, and running himself into the ground. Together, they talk openly about numbness, emotional literacy, and the moment many men reach when “toughing it out” stops working. You’ll hear practical, grounded insights on: Why numbness is a signal, not the absence of feeling How shame fuels isolation and erodes trust The difference between “I made a mistake” and “I am a mistake” Why knowing just one person has your back increases resilience How vulnerability, when practiced honestly, strengthens connection This isn’t about fixing yourself.It’s about paying attention sooner, staying connected, and redefining strength in a way that actually sustains you. If you’ve been pushing through, feeling disconnected, or quietly carrying more than you let on, this conversation offers language, perspective, and permission to pause and look again.

For a lot of men, staying silent feels like strength. But what if it’s the opposite? In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, Paralympic gold medalist Greg Stewart challenges that belief head-on. In a raw, honest conversation with Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin, Greg explores why silence has become the default for so many men and why talking might be the most courageous act there is. Greg shares his journey from elite sport to emotional burnout, and how learning to talk, ask for help, and sit with discomfort reshaped his sense of identity, resilience, and self-care. The conversation moves through fatherhood fears, intrusive thoughts, masculinity, and the unspoken rules that keep men isolated, even when they’re surrounded by people. You’ll hear: Why silence often masks fear, shame, or loneliness How “toughing it out” quietly leads to disconnection Why vulnerability builds trust, leadership, and real resilience Simple practices to pause, breathe, and stay present in hard moments If you’re looking for a real-world conversation about men’s health, mental health, and showing up more fully in your life, this episode meets you exactly where you are.

A lot of men aren’t “angry guys.” They’re overwhelmed, disconnected, and running out of space to breathe, and it’s catching up with them. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, Gene Bernier, CTO & Don’t Change Much Producer at CMHF, joins hosts Trevor Botkin and Mike Cameron on camera for an honest conversation about anger, men’s mental health, and why reacting isn’t the same thing as responding. Together, they break down how anger shows up in the body, why it’s often the only emotion men were taught to recognize, and how today’s social pressure is amplifying everyday frustration. The conversation moves from the pressures young men are facing today to how anger often masks sadness, fear, or feeling left behind. The turning point isn’t about “controlling” anger. It’s about learning how to pause before it explodes. Not therapy-speak. Not perfection. Just a small, practiced moment that can change the outcome. You’ll hear practical, real-world tools men can use immediately, including: How to use anger as a cue to slow down instead of reacting Why naming what you’re feeling changes everything How to pause long enough to choose a better response Why emotions are temporary, but consequences can be permanent How connection and listening can de-escalate even the hardest moments This episode is about resilience, self-care, and connection. Not fixing yourself and not getting it perfect, just learning how to show up with a little more awareness and a lot less damage.

What happens when two men sit down, drop the armour, and tell the truth about who they really are? On this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, we introduce our new co-hosts, Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin—two guys who have lived through rock bottom, rebuilt their lives, and are still doing the work every day. They share the same mission: help men close the gap between who they are and who they want to be. In this raw and hopeful conversation, Mike and Trevor unpack what healing actually looks like for men—navigating shame, asking for help, getting blindsided by grief, and learning to show up as the man you want to be, not the one you’re pretending to be. They share their stories of addiction, trauma, devastating loss, and the life-saving power of connection. What emerges is a powerful reminder that resilience isn’t only about being strong… it’s also about learning to feel again. This isn’t self-help fluff. It’s the hard, uncomfortable, life-changing work of becoming emotionally honest. You’ll hear: • Why men avoid asking for help and how to break that pattern• How shame fuels isolation and what stops it from running your life• The simple question Mike uses to course-correct when he’s slipping• Why Trevor believes self-forgiveness is the most unselfish thing a man can do If you’ve ever felt stuck, alone, or like you’re not the man you want to be, this conversation is your reminder: healing is possible… and you don’t have to do it on your own.

The superstar outfielder will get his wish in February when Seattle trades him to the Reds for Mike Cameron, Antonio Perez, and Brett Tomko, and minor leaguer Jake Meyer.Pat Gillick signs on with the Phillies and will lead them to the 2008 World Series Title. Today's Birth boy Bob Feller A farmboy from Van Meter, Iowa, Feller was only 17 when he struck out eight members of the St. Louis Cardinals in three innings of an exhibition game. After this awesome display of pitching, Feller was advised to seek voluntary retirement from high school in order to sign a pro-baseball contract. In his first major league start, against the St. Louis Browns, Feller fanned 15 hitters and never looked back. For twenty years, all with the Indians, the teenage phenomena dominated AL batters with his blazing fastball and bending curve. He hurled three no-hitters, including the only opening day gem, notched 12 one-hitters, served in World War II, and won 19 games for Cleveland's 1948 World Championship team. Feller was the second big league star to enter the service for World War II (following Hank Greenberg). He lost almost four seasons to military duty but was still at the top of his game when he returned. His first year back from the war he set a new record for strikeouts in a season (348 in 1946). While in the U.S. Navy, Feller won eight battle stars.
