What does it really mean to be a man today—especially when you’re Built in the Bush?
In this episode, I sit down with Lachlan Stuart, speaker, coach and founder of @themanthatcanproject, for a raw, honest conversation on the evolving identity of modern masculinity.
From hitting rock bottom to building one of Australia's leading movements for men’s wellbeing, Lachlan’s story is one that will challenge, inspire, and shift the way you think about what it means to lead, live, and show up as a man—particularly in regional and rural communities.
What we cover:
✔️ The hidden pressures men carry—and rarely voice
✔️ How Lachlan rebuilt his identity and found purpose through service
✔️ Why emotional fitness is strength, not weakness
✔️ Masculinity beyond the stereotype
✔️ How to create healthy male spaces without shame or ego
