Two guys who've been through hell share the raw truth about men's mental health that nobody wants to discuss. Mike opens up about his struggle with prescription addiction, financial stress, and the broken refrigerator that taught him everything about perseverance. This isn't your typical self-help BS - it's real talk about depression, suicide statistics, and why 75% of male suicides happen because we're taught to "just toughen up."
