In episode 356 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with David Maywald.
Born and raised in Australia where he resides today, David has worked in finance for over two decades as an investment professional, holding roles of Research Analyst and is a top-quartile Portfolio Manager.
He currently works as a governance specialist and holds a portfolio of board roles across the fields of health, education, families, active lifestyles, infrastructure, investment, and sustainability.
He is also a father and the author of the book ‘The Relentless War on Masculinity: Does It Ever End?’.
In this episode, we do a deep dive into the book, the themes he explores, who is waging this war on masculinity and why.
We also talk about the process of publishing the book, which he had to do self-published, why his financial situation allowed him the freedom of expression to write without fear of cancellation, and the reception of the book.
For David’s mental health journey, we discuss fatherhood and a couple of periods where he has been depressed in his life, due to his employment situation and being isolated from his social networks.
As always, #itsokaytovent
