In this episode of The F Word at Work, we welcome Shaun Greenaway, known as @knackered_knackers, a male fertility advocate, coach and podcaster as well as being part of our amazing speaker community at Fertility Matters at Work.
Shaun has been doing an incredible job over the last few years in raising awareness of the challenges that so many men face when dealing with family building challenges. In the last year, he's had amazing coverage within the mainstream media as you'll hear him mention and his podcast The Male Fertility Podcast is providing much needed support for men struggling to find the support they need. In this chat, we discuss the challenges he faced and the importance of open conversations about men's health in the workplace.
