In this episode, my guest is Stephen Whitton, founder of MenAble, a UK-based initiative focused on improving mental health in the automotive industry. We talk about what mental health really looks like behind the scenes in dealerships, and why Stephen prefers to call it mental wealth.

Stephen doesn't just bring insights — he brings lived experience. From his own breakdown during the pandemic to helping businesses build cultures where people thrive, Stephen delivers truth with warmth, humor, and zero fluff.

We get into:

• Why the phrase “How are we doing?” might be the most powerful leadership tool you're not using
• The difference between mental health and mental wealth, and why the latter could change your company
• What’s really driving burnout in the motor trade — and how to spot it before the wheels come off
• How simple shifts in your team culture can attract (and keep) top talent
• Tangible actions managers can take today to support their people without becoming therapists

Oh — and you’ll never ask “How are you doing?” the same way again.

This isn’t a therapy session. It’s a conversation every dealership leader needs to hear. Hit play and get ready to shift gears on how you think about mental wellbeing at work — and in life.
