Show Notes

My guest today is Alex Palmer, a Londoner living in Austin, Texas. He's an accomplished cyclist, marketer, and men's mental health advocate. He's also the creator of the Black Dog Cast Podcast that he started after a group of cyclists started talking about their mental health struggles after a group ride.  We cover a wide range of topics today and it was a blast spending time with Alex.

High fives all around. Let's do this!
