What happens when the habits that make you successful in sports don’t work in life?

As a teenager, Trevor Linden was drafted second overall by the Vancouver Canucks. By 21, he was the team captain. The mindset that drove him to push harder, never showing weakness, left him carrying a weight many men know too well: suffering in silence.

In this candid conversation with host Dan Murphy, Trevor shares the lessons hockey didn’t teach him: the power of connection, the guidance of mentors, and why caring for your mental and physical health is not optional.

Whether you’re chasing goals at work, raising a family, or just trying to feel your best, Trevor’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to make small, meaningful changes—and that real strength comes from taking care of yourself and those who count on you.

For many men in the trades, work is more than a job; it’s an identity. But the weight of long hours, money stress, and pressure to “be strong” can become overwhelming, with devastating consequences.

In this raw and deeply human episode, host Buzz Bishop sits down with Trevor Botkin (The FORGE), Andrew Perez (Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention), and two men - Mitch Orton and Rob Saloman - who lost a brother or son who worked in the trades.

Together, they break the silence around pressure, identity, and the weight of “being the tough guy.”

What unfolds is a conversation about survival, brotherhood, and change. From lived experience to national advocacy, each voice shows that while the crisis is real, so is the possibility of hope.

You’ll come away with:
💡 Why peer-to-peer conversations cut through stigma
💡 Signs to look for when someone you love is struggling
💡 How even one honest conversation can save a life

This is not just about suicide prevention. It’s about building stronger connections, redefining strength, and reminding every man: you are not alone.

If you or a loved one needs support, please call or text 988 to reach Canada’s Suicide Crisis Helpline.
