Lovemore N'dou is a three time world world boxing champion at the welterweight division, sparring partner of Floyd Mayweather Jnr, Lawyer, Business Owner, Author, and an academic (seven degrees!) and aspirations to becoming prime minister of South Africa.

In this episode, Lovemore explains how he went from growing up during the South African apartheid, watched his friend die in his arms as a teenager, was arrested for simply talking to a white girl as a supermarket, as well as overcoming other many racial and criminal injustices to becoming an elite athlete and successful lawyer. What a man.

The lads hit the half way mark of their inaugural season of These Lads Are Mental podcast. A show about normalising the topic of mental health in a light hearted fashion, with expert guests, everyday people and some laughs along the way. Sure isn't that what life is all about?

Hopefully, one day in the not too distant future, we can talk about mental health just like we would anything else in our everyday lives. That's our goal.

Today’s episode is the unique, incredible story of Joe Williams.

Joe is an Australian sportsman who played rugby league and boxed professionally. His football career spanned from 2004 to 2008 but apart from being involved with professional sport for over 15 years, Joe, a suicide survivor, and mental health advocate, now spends his time working to inspire youth through motivational speaking workshops here in Australia and across the globe.
