ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

MIKE KURZAWSKI

Hi, I’m Mike, the founder of We Are Mentality.

I started this platform for one simple reason:  to help men feel better about themselves and start living lives they're actually proud of.
If you've ever felt stuck, anxious, directionless, or you're just not where you thought you'd be - trust me, I've been there too. In some ways, I still am.

This whole thing started because I needed answers. Not from some influencer shouting into a camera or another Instagram motivational quote - but from real people with real solutions. The kind of stuff that actually helps when your confidence is shot, you feel isolated, or you've hit a rough patch and don't know which way is up.

Let's be honest: Men aren't always great at talking about what's going on inside. We bottle things up. We crack a joke. We "get on with it".
That approach? It's been killing us - slowly and quietly - for decades.

I've lived with depression and anxiety. I've faced tough times, tried therapy, failed, grown, and got back up again. I've worn the brave face when I felt anything but brave.

And through all of it, I've realised this: helping others find a way through is what lights me up.

I grew up in London and spent over 14 years working in the emergency services - a dream job that taught me resilience, but also exposed me to the mental weight so many of us carry. In 2022, I took a leap and left that career behind to find something new. I started my own company, hit a few walls, but kept going. Then this idea hit me - what if there was a space where men could get real, practical, BS-free advice on how to sort their lives out, feel stronger, and stop pretending they're fine when they're not?

And that's how We Are Mentality was born.

On a more personal note, I'm more introverted than most would guess. But I believe stepping out of your comfort zone is the only way to really live. I'm a massive gamer, writer, football fan, and full-blown metalhead. Also a bit of geek - think Lord of the Rings and Star Wars' movie lines being quoted. I love hiking, exploring new places, and one of my biggest dreams is to ride Route 66 across America on a motorcycle.

Through this project, I've met some incredible people who believe in what we're doing. They've offered their knowledge and support to help other men like you and me. Whether you're here out of curiosity or desperation - know that this space was built for you.

You're not weak for struggling.
You're not broken because you're lost.
You just need a way forward - and we're here to help you find it.

Stay strong and keep going.
