37: Movember & Men's Health

The Natasha Helfer Podcast

Meet Kurt! I am so excited to have had him join me on The Natasha Helfer podcast! In his daily life, Kurt Reinhardt leads a successful career as a consultant, cherishes his role as a devoted partner and loving father, occasionally embarks on adventures, and is an enthusiastic amateur gastronaut. However, over the past decade, Kurt has also been a passionate advocate for men's health and suicide prevention. He annually spearheads a campaign known as "Dyeing to Stop Men Dying" to raise funds for the Movember Foundation, a prominent charitable organization dedicated to addressing global concerns related to men's mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate and testicular cancer. Recognized by his signature beard, Kurt has decided to use this distinctive feature for a meaningful purpose. Every dollar contributed during his October campaign serves as a vote to determine the colors he will dye his beard with throughout the entire month of November, often referred to as "Movember." This creative initiative transforms Kurt into a walking advertisement for critical men's health issues. Kurt's achievements have gained him recognition on an international salon blog, where he was showcased alongside men from various parts of the world. Additionally, he has also been featured on our local Fox news station, further underscoring his impact and contributions.
