Mitch James discusses mental health and suicide || Runners Only! Podcast with Dom Harvey
Episode Description
EP01 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Mitch James
Mitch James is a well-known New Zealand singer. He is also a marathon runner. But he is so much more than those things. He is one of the most authentic, vulnerable and transparent people I have ever met. A true open book. 100% BS-free.
There are some serious things we touch upon - including mental health and suicide. And I respect Mitch for his honesty.
Warning - He DOES like to swear.... so keep that in mind if you are with little kids or anyone who is easily shocked.
