How do you achieve big ambitions and navigate a world that's still very much driven by image and judgement without sacrificing your mental health? In this episode, I catch up with an old friend of mine, Guy Paillard, who's an entrepreneur and men's mental health advocate, among other things. He speaks candidly about the state of men's mental health, the challenges we're still facing, and what it took for him to reverse course and regain his own mental and physical well-being. Guy is a go-getter, surrounded by intelligent and influential people in business. Having worked with some of the biggest luxury brands in the world as an entrepreneur, Guy shares valuable insights and lessons he's learned over decades. We also touch on the world of modelling, blended families, his new business venture and more.
