why are so many men struggling at work?
In this episode, we’re joined by Tobi Crosby, founder and CEO of Making Moves, to talk about what happens when you start leading with your life as much as your job.
Tobi’s been quietly reshaping what leadership looks like – as a founder, as a dad, and as a voice for a more honest kind of success. We talked to him about mental health, masculinity, family pressure, and the relentless juggle of growing a business while staying present at home.
What we talked about
How Tobi’s redefined his role at Making Moves – stepping out of operations and into a more outward-facing, creative role
Why fatherhood, mental health and sober leadership are now key pillars of his personal brand
What it really takes to found a business (and whether it’s worth it)
Three things we’re still thinking about
The toddler years are brutal – and no one talks about it at work.
Running a business with small children at home isn’t just “a juggle” – it’s a full-body challenge. From sleep deprivation to sick days, Tobi’s honesty about this time in his life really hit home.Leadership doesn’t need to look like it used to.
Toby’s take on fair, values-driven leadership is a strong counter to old-school, always-on, win-at-all-costs CEO culture. He’s proving you can lead well and be present at home – but only if you’re intentional about how you structure your life and team.We need more open conversations about men’s mental health at work.
Tobi makes the case that men in midlife are under immense – and often invisible – pressure to perform, provide, and power through. Talking about purpose, therapy, and role modelling matters. Because silence is dangerous.
