#244 Max Skinner - Naked Skydives, Serious Causes, Real Results

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I visit with Max Skinner, Senior Manager of Community Development for Movember . Men’s health needs more than awareness—it needs action people can see, measure, and join. Max and I explore how a global mustache movement has evolved into a U.S.-anchored engine for impact, funding programs that tackle prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and the growing crisis of men’s mental health and suicide prevention. We dive into Mind Moves , Movember’s mental-wellness program tailored for collegiate student-athletes navigating performance pressure, identity shifts, and the new NIL reality. Hosted on a platform that reaches more than 150,000 athletes , Mind Moves teaches students how to spot warning signs, start real conversations, and use campus resources—turning education into prevention. We also unpack the Real Faces of Men’s Health Report , a first-of-its-kind U.S. analysis offering state-by-state data, demographic insights, and policy recommendations that move the conversation from slogans to strategy. The numbers are stark— 60 men die by suicide every hour worldwide , and three out of four suicides in the U.S. are men —but the solutions can start small. Max and I talk about meaningful check-ins, building shared rituals that keep friends connected, and why growing a mustache still works as the perfect conversation starter. If you want to help, it’s easy: grow, move, host, or “Mo Your Own Way.” Link your miles with Strava, use free templates and guides, and see where funds go through clear U.S. reporting.
