We're All a Bit Mental - These Lads Are Mental Live at Urban Collective, Neutral Bay.
We took These Lads Are Mental on the road.
This is our live session at Urban Collective in Neutral Bay, Sydney - a raw, honest and genuinely funny conversation about the stuff most of us are feeling but not saying out loud.
Neil and Gary sat down with a room full of real people - business owners, employees, parents, high performers - and talked about the things that actually matter. Stress, financial pressure, burnout, grief, trauma, loneliness, distraction, and why \"are you okay?\" rarely gets a real answer.
No keynote. No corporate polish. Just two lads having a conversation.
In this session, we cover:
- Why 50% of Australians are living with a mental health condition - and why the real number is probably higher
- The new baseline - why stress levels have quietly shifted and what to do about it
- The physiological sigh - the fastest way to bring your nervous system down, used by Navy Seals and elite athletes
- Why the most effective mental health tools are almost always free
- The BEST framework - Brain, Eat, Sleep, Train - and how to use it when life gets in the way
- Why spirituality is the forgotten pillar and what it actually means (hint: nothing woo)
- The Spanish fisherman story - and why it hits different when you're running a business
- What we learned from 40+ episodes interviewing psychologists, Olympians, comedians, CEOs and people in the trenches
We also share real stories - from a guy who couldn't leave the house without being drunk to a man with 100 live tumours training as a powerlifter. Perspective is a powerful thing.
At the end of the session, we handed out a digital framework - a practical, personalised resource built from the anonymous survey our audience filled in beforehand. That is the These Lads Are Mental difference. We do not just talk. We leave you with something you can actually use.
