Episode notes

In this episode, Chris and Shaun sit down with Dr. Anson Whitmer, co-founder of Calm and the creator of Mental, our new show sponsor. The boys dig into Anson’s journey—his time building Calm, one of the most well-known mindfulness apps, and how that experience led him to create Mental, a platform designed specifically for men’s mental health. We also touch on the ever-popular cold shower debate (spoiler: Shaun’s not buying it), the challenges of men engaging in self-care, and the importance of taking risks and pushing boundaries
