Marc Millar | Men’s Mental Health, Loneliness and Cold Water Swimming

Marc Millar is the founder of Edinburgh Blue Balls, a men’s mental health cold water swimming group in Scotland. We had the pleasure of speaking with Marc about how EBB came about, why it is necessary, and how the community keeps it going. The conversation has many takeaways - the most prominent being how the concept of masculinity needs shaking up in order to have any hope of being truly useful in todays society of external toxicity and internal loneliness. Importantly, the cold swimming group is also a vector for education, support and awareness of the Joshua Nolan foundation - a suicide prevention charity. This conversation was a reminder that we all fight battles and have struggles. All the more reason to always be kind. Find Edinburgh Blue Balls on InstagramFind the Joshua Nolan Foundation hereApologies for the occasional interference - we’ll work on that!----------------------------------------------------------------------Mentioned in this podcast:-Budgy Smugglers-Beard groups-Mental health groups----------------------------------------------------------------------Want to watch this on video?
