In the lead up to Men's Health Week (11-17 June), we kicked off a show, all about Men ... and their health. I recently joined the committee of White Owl for Men's Health, a fair dinkum, hard working group of people, dedicated to making change and reducing health risks to men.

Travis Strong (co-founder) joined me for the second time this year to continue highlighting many of the unknown issues that impact the wellbeing of our men and how we can do a better job supporting, identifying and recognising that men also matter.

We're also took a special moment to commemorate the life of a much loved man, husband, father and friend to so many - Richard Whitehead "Beno", who died suddenly, on May 20, 2018, just days after his 51st birthday.

At a very young age, many of us have the great fortune of being inducted into a system of education - groomed to become "something" that will sustain the rest of our lives. How do we choose an occupation, so important, with such little experience? Do we follow pennies or passion?

Steven Savino picked up his first tennis racquet at the tender age of 11 and from that moment followed his intuition. Some 30 years later, dedication, determination, and trust in his gut has led Steven to become an internationally recognised, professional tennis coach. He joined me to "serve" up some "ace" "deuce" on what it feels like to have followed his career "match" all over the world.
