When business is tight and you owe six people money you can't pay, it stops being a merry-go-round and becomes a spiral. Andrew Lindsay knows and in part two he tells us how he got off it.

Andrew founded Mod Shoes and the 66 Clothing label, has served over 100,000 customers, DJs, plays in bands, and has been through the kind of business pressure most men never talk about. This is the part where it gets real.

In this episode of Inspired Men Talk, hosts Gary Johannes and Peter Ely talk with Andrew about:

• Why moving house, changing your workspace, or simply getting dressed for work can shift your mental state
• The "race to the bottom" how to recognise a financial spiral before it takes you down with it
• Pride, and why it stops men asking for help until it's too late
• Using AI as a sounding board when there's no one else to talk to at 2am
• The family story of a grandad, a transistor, and why dismissing new technology is a mistake
• Music as mental health, why The Beatles, punk and a dancefloor full of strangers still matter
• Andrew's advice for anyone looking out the window and seeing clouds on a sunny day

If you're a man running a business, carrying debt, or just carrying too much on your own, this one's for you. You're not broken. There is a way forward.
