Back to EpisodesE60: Aspire to Find Help (ft. Jim Maley) - Real Men, Real Conversations
Description
In this episode of Aspire, Steve Peacock and Hugh Eastman welcome Jim Maley, founder of The Maley Way, for an insightful conversation on masculinity, mental health, leadership, and the power of vulnerability. Jim shares his own story of struggling silently with depression in college, the role his mother played in helping him seek support, and how his experience shaped the work he now does with young men and students.
The conversation explores how boys are often taught to hide emotion, how that pressure can reinforce harmful behavior, and why accountability, empathy, and honest conversation play important rolls in building healthier communities. Jim, Steve, and Hugh also discuss the impact of modeling respectful behavior, the importance of addressing “small things” before they become bigger problems, and why sharing personal experience can help others feel less alone.
Jim closes with the message that we have the right to be ourselves and stand up for what we believe in, even when it’s uncomfortable or unpopular.
