Dan Shrigley calls himself “the best mate you didn’t know you needed”, a role that grew from his mission to prevent what happened to his dad, who faced a battle with severe depression, from happening to others. As a speaker, Dan openly sharing his dad’s journey to inspire action and awareness. His talks encourage audiences to feel more informed, connected, and in control of their mental health - turning personal experience into collective strength. 

He shares candid reflections on life as a guy in his 20s, from mental health to exercise and masculinity, which grew into a community who found comfort in Dan’s calming presence and reminder that none of us are alone. Dan co-founded Shoulder to Shoulder, a thriving men’s wellness and growth community in London with over 350 members.  The group helps men connect, build friendships, and grow together with events ranging from yoga and hiking to cold plunges.

With an authentic voice, a growing digital platform, and a community that extends well beyond the screen, Dan is shaping conversations around mental health and modern masculinity in a way that feels approachable, real, and urgently needed.
