“The key point with this book and podcast is that my harrowing, dramatic personal story weaves its way throughout the book. I lived with depression, suicide attempts, and have studied masculinity for more than thirty-seven years. My diagnosed condition of severe depressive disorder that is recurring was the reason that I abused marijuana, that I had the knife in my hand in order to slit my wrists and bleed out. This condition ruined my business and personal relationships and retarded my growth as a human being. My condition was a factor in causing my heart attack as well as expanding the size of my ego, which stopped me from having a relationship with God, which limits the quality of life, I believe.” – Tim Krass.
The WHO (World Health Organization) specifies that approximately 300 million suffer from depression worldwide, but that only half ever receive treatment. Too often men do not seek help for what are legitimate health issues. The stigma attached to mental health that exists within our society and our social norms do not lend to men seeking help. Statistically, of those who do receive treatment, 90% find an improvement to their issue (CNN).
Tim and his guests bring their personal experiences to the table to help other men begin their path to improving their mental health. Using past experiences with addiction and depression combined with his focus on positive masculinity, Tim strives to help other men understand that quite often their anger, hatred, violence, fighting, substance abuse can all be manifestations of unchecked mental health issues as well as an unhealthy view of what masculinity truly is. Both of these can lead to unhealthy relationships, difficulties at work, and even legal issues.

About Joe…..
A product of a broken home.. Raised by a single mother, Alecia. Always felt out of place growing up feeling the need to pretend I was someone I wasn’t. Teenage years became lost in the drug world which stole over 2 decades of my life. Made the decision to get clean in 2013 and went to work in the recovery field as a motivational speaker where I harnessed my non-traditional recovery approach.
Today with over 7 years removed from substance abuse I pride myself on being an independent, open minded free thinker. No longer associated with the field of recovery I have embarked on a journey of self-healing, confidence building and goal setting to discover ones true purpose in life.
Overcoming childhood trauma, drug & alcohol abuse, the passing of my mother, I have developed a unique outlook on life and pride myself on a layman’s point of view being able to look at, make decisions and formulate my own opinions without being told what to think, believe or do with my life.
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t… You’re right” -Henry Ford
