008: Helpers Need Help with Scott DeLuzio

"You need some help yourself and it's hard to switch to that mindset. But if you don't do that, you can't possibly be the type of person who's going to give your 100% effort to help other people." -Scott DeLuzio

Asking for help doesn't make us weak. It makes us strong!

There's a lot to be said for how men can build each other up. But sometimes, some of us men just don't know how to ask for help. It's not that we're trying to be rude or ungrateful—it's just that we've been taught from a young age that it's not polite to ask for help, and so we don't do it. But what if being a man means giving ourselves permission to ask for help?

This week, I got to sit with Surviving Son author Scott DeLuzio to discuss why asking for help is something we should start practicing. Scott is an author, podcast host, and war veteran. He and his brother Steven were deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Sadly, Scott lost his brother in the war. Following his transition to civilian life, Scott found it hard to overcome his grief and trauma. He almost lost his way, until he decided to man up and do what most of us are afraid to do— ask for help.

Listen in as Scott and I talk about the biggest lesson we can learn about mental health, how we can give voice to the voiceless, why it's necessary that we share our story to the world, and how we can overcome the fear of asking for help.
