Lucas Krump: Redefining Men's Mental Health with EVRYMAN
So I would just encourage people to be developing products and services that really speak to all people, not just the coast or not just a very specific type of wellness, if you will, because there's so many people out there that could benefit from what we're all collectively doing in this industry, and I don't believe it's a zero-sum game.
Lucas Krump, the driving force behind EVRYMAN, joins Stephen Hays on the Stigma Podcast to tackle the often overlooked issue of men's mental health. Lucas, an adventurer who has lived across continents, now channels his passion for service into creating spaces where men can connect and grow emotionally.
EVRYMAN, founded by Lucas and his partners Dan Doty, Owen Marcus, and Sascha Lewis, is a global initiative that offers retreats, weekly groups, and online programs aimed at helping men build emotional skills and forge deeper connections with themselves and others. In this episode, Lucas shares his journey from Kansas to New York City, with significant stops in Africa and Asia, and how these experiences shaped his commitment to mental wellness.
He dives into the unique challenges men face when it comes to mental health and how societal expectations often discourage them from seeking help.

EVRYMAN's approach has garnered attention from major media outlets like The New York Times and Men's Health, and Lucas explains why the conversation around men's mental health is more critical now than ever.
With a looming mental health crisis on the horizon, he emphasizes the need for products and services that cater to everyone, breaking away from traditional wellness stereotypes.
