In this episode, we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough - the double standards at midlife for men and women - in the press and in society as a whole.

Increasingly, and brilliantly - midlife women are being encouraged to see this stage of their life as empowering and liberating - a positive midlife crisis - as they question their marriages, sexuality and what’s next for them. However, for men, this stage of life is often mocked. They’re labelled as grumpy, broken, or just going through a cliché.

We’ve seen this first-hand. James has faced resistance from female journalists unwilling to even entertain the idea of male midlife struggles — writing it off as “just another moan from a middle-aged man.”

But here’s the truth: both men and women deserve space to evolve, reflect, and grow in this season of life — without shame or judgment.

So today, we’re calling out the bias, sharing our personal experiences, and exploring how we can rewrite the narrative — together.

Let’s get into it.

In this episode we’re shining a light on a topic that quietly affects almost one in two men by the age of fifty: hair loss.

Now - losing your hair might sound purely cosmetic, but it can gnaw at confidence, self-image and even mental health. So what happens when you decide to take action—publicly?

My guest knows a thing or two about living in the spotlight. You may have seen him masterminding the business behind those signature super-car wraps at Yannimize. Today, Bav parks the Lamborghinis and opens up about something far more personal: his recent hair-transplant journey.

In this episode Bav gets brutally honest about the mirror moment when he said “enough,” the deep-dive research, the process, and why he’s documented every step so other guys don’t have to suffer in silence. We’ll dig into costs, recovery, expectations, and the surprising mental-health lift that no styling product can match.

Whether you’re weighing a procedure yourself, supporting a partner, or just curious, this is worth a listen - there’s a little car chat too!
