About Man Up Down:
“David and Volker met during lock down, hit it off and discovered common challenges. We realised that there are millions of us out there, facing the same challenges. And no one is talking about it. Whether it is mental health or erectile dysfunction, let's get it out there, discuss it, and keep it ‘manly.‘”
“We’ll discuss (and have the odd rant about) all the pressures of being a man, approaching (sorry, we have to say it) middle age. All the fears we have but are often too embarrassed to discuss with our friends. And even the fact that you no longer seem to have “friends” just colleagues and other dads that you nod to at school and club drop-offs. But we’ll also look at the science and psychology behind why we often feel how we feel, why even the most successful people (from business to sport to entertainment) can experience doubt and lack of direction and how small changes in your life, can achieve big results (whether you want to change career, drop a few pounds or just try and get some “you time” back in your life). We aren’t unique, and we want to share. So make sure you subscribe to listen to the second season of our podcast, which goes live about 3x a month! Thanks, Dave & Volker”
