In this inspiring episode, we chat with Niall Maloney, founder of CurrentsForCause, a group of nine mates taking on the extreme Robben Island-to-Blueberg swim—in just speedos—to raise awareness for men’s mental health and support SADAG (South African Depression and Anxiety Group).
Niall shares:
Why they’re braving icy Atlantic waters (11-13°C!)
The power of uncomfortable conversations in tackling mental health struggles
How strong male friendships create safe spaces for vulnerability
The real challenges—cold, hypothermia, and mental endurance (not sharks!)
What’s next for CurrentsForCause—bigger swims, bigger impact

Follow their journey on Instagram (@currentsforcause) and learn how you can support SADAG’s 24-hour crisis line. A must-listen for anyone passionate about adventure, mental health advocacy, and breaking the stigma around men’s emotions.
