Ep 280: It's Mental Live - with ex-Premier League footballer Steven Reid

Feb 06, 2023, 03:16 PM

Mick is hosting this week's podcast from the It's Mental Live event at the University of Bolton Stadium.

Billed as the "Ultimate Wellbeing Experience", the day saw more than a thousand people come together to explore wellbeing, meeting exhibitors, specialists, and hear inspiring stories in the central arena.

Mick hosted the day from the main stage, welcoming guests, and guest presenters, to chat with some familiar names and faces, with wellbeing at the heart of the conversation.

Among those in attendance is former Millwall, Blackburn, West Ham and Ireland player Steven Reid, who has taken the decision to cut short his coaching career to pursue a new venture in mental health.

Steven explores with Mick how he came to the decision, and how he hopes his own story will warn others of the untold side of the game.

Thanks to Stephen Robinson and the It's Mental team for inviting Mental Health Monday to be part of the day.
