    EP16. The Power of Listening: How it Supports Our Mental Health & Wellbeing
    Feb 9 2026
    In this episode of the Built4us Podcast, Vish and Clive sit down for an honest and thoughtful conversation about the power of listening and why it plays such a vital role in supporting mental health, especially for men. They explore how listening is more than just hearing words — it's about being present, creating space, and helping others feel understood in a world where many men still struggle to open up. Vish and Clive talk about the pressure men often face to "get on with it" or stay silent, and how something as simple as a genuine conversation can make a massive difference. What You'll Hear in This Episode: -Why men find it difficult to talk about mental health -The difference between listening to respond vs listening to understand -How being heard can reduce stress, anxiety, and isolation -The importance of checking in on your mates -How listening builds stronger relationships and emotional resilience -Creating safe spaces for men to open up without judgment -This episode is a reminder that you don't need to have all the answers — sometimes the most powerful support you can offer is simply to listen. Key Takeaway Listening isn't a weakness — it's a strength. And it might be one of the most important tools we have to improve men's mental health. Listen, share, and help break the silence. You never know who might need to hear this today.

    EP14. How Taking Time Off Work Saved My Mental Health
    Jan 19 2026

    Welcome to BUILT4US PODCAST!

    In this episode of the Built4Us Podcast, JT welcomes the newest member of our team, Ben Summers, to dive into the importance of prioritising mental health in a work-driven culture that often rewards burnout over balance. We explore why taking time off work isn't a sign of weakness, but a necessary step toward long-term wellbeing. From mental exhaustion to physical burnout, this conversation highlights how constant pressure can take a serious toll if left unchecked. Our guest shares a recent personal experience of stepping away from work to reset — and how that decision led to noticeable improvements in both mental and physical health. We discuss the challenges of making that choice, the guilt many people feel around rest, and why recovery is essential for sustainable performance. This episode is a reminder that rest is productive, boundaries matter, and looking after yourself should always come before the grind. Key Topics Covered:
    • Why taking time off work can improve mental health
    • The link between mental and physical wellbeing
    • Breaking the stigma around rest and recovery
    • Building healthier work-life balance habits
    • Having that important conversation with your boss to get time off
    Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or just running on empty, this episode offers an honest and relatable conversation about choosing health over hustle. Listen, share, and help break the silence. You never know who might need to hear this today.

  • EP13: Given Two Weeks to Live: John Lillico on Addiction, Recovery & Leadership in Construction.

    EP13: Given Two Weeks to Live: John Lillico on Addiction, Recovery & Leadership in Construction.
    Jan 12 2026

    Welcome to BUILT4US PODCAST!

    In this powerful and frank episode of The Built4us Podcast, JT invites special guest John Lillico, European Senior Safety Manager, who shares his story publicly for the very first time.

    John opens up about his journey through addiction to drink and drugs, a battle that nearly cost him his life. At his lowest point, John was told by a doctor that he had just two weeks to live. What followed was a defining moment—one that forced him to confront reality and make a life-saving decision. This episode charts John's incredible journey from that moment of crisis through recovery, accountability, and rebuilding his life, culminating in his transformation into a respected leader responsible for safety across Europe at one of the world's leading data centre companies. His story shines a light on the hidden struggles within the construction industry, the culture around alcohol and substances, and the importance of compassion, support, and lived experience in leadership. In This Episode, We Cover:
    • John's early career in construction and the pressures that came with it
    • How drink and drugs took hold—and brought him to the brink of death
    • Being given two weeks to live, and the moment everything changed
    • The reality of addiction in the construction industry
    • Recovery, responsibility, and restoring his life and career
    • Mental health, stigma, and why these conversations matter
    • Leadership, safety, and using lived experience to protect others
    A message of hope for anyone currently struggling This episode is about more than safety or success—it's about survival, recovery, and proof that change is possible, even when all seems lost. If you work in construction, health & safety, or are navigating addiction or recovery, this is a conversation that could genuinely save lives. Listen, share, and help break the silence. You never know who might need to hear this today.
