Ever wondered what it takes to make a major career shift, especially when mental health is on the line? In this episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate', Stuart Butler sits down with his old university friend, Mark Adamczyk, to unravel just that.

Whether you're an educator, someone interested in mental health, or just curious about career transitions, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
