Don't Change Much
The Don’t Change Much Podcast is about men’s mental and physical health and conversations that build awareness, educate and provide simple lifestyle tips to help men and their families take action for better well-being. Each episode, host Dan Murphy is joined by Canada’s top influencers, world class athletes and subject matter experts who share their lived experiences and insights for better mental and physical health. The goal is to have real conversations about the things so many of us don’t prioritize: lowering stress, eating healthier, getting active and the impacts of not taking care of ourselves. Don’t Change Much is all about encouraging men to make simple changes that can have a big impact on their health, their families and their communities. Better health doesn’t have to mean a lifestyle overhaul. Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational and educational purposes only.

Why are so many young men turning to the internet for answers?
For a lot of guys, the search starts with something simple.

But it doesn’t take long before that search leads them into something bigger.
The manosphere.
A world of content that promises clarity, confidence, and control.
But often comes with a very differen...
“I got this.”
For a lot of men, those three words feel like strength.
But they can also be the loneliest words you’ll ever say.
The “I got this” mentality often starts as resilience, but can turn into isolation. Learning to speak up, lean on others, and build support can actually make you stronger.
In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin sit down wit...

Comfort can feel like relief. Staying quiet. Keeping things to yourself. Not risking rejection.
For a lot of men, that comfort slowly turns into distance, and then into loneliness.
In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin talk openly about how isolation becomes a habit long before it becomes a problem. Drawing from their own lives, leadership roles, relationships, and past struggl...
A lot of men were taught that resilience means pushing through.
Staying quiet. Handling it alone. Running on empty and calling it strength.
In this episode, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin slow that story down and take it apart, not as experts looking down, but as men who’ve lived the cost of getting it wrong.
Joined by returning guest Dr. David Kuhl, physician, professor, and longtime voice in men’s health, the...
