Jeremy Macvean

Jeremy Macvean breathed a sigh of relief when the teacher of his male-only antenatal class advised “To be a good dad, turn up and try”. So that’s what Jeremy’s been doing ever since. Turning up to invest time and emotional energy into himself and his marriage with Emily. Turning up to the birth of his three girls, without fainting. Turning up to family holidays, despite them not being the slightest bit relaxing. Turning up to build tribes of healthier, happier men through his work at Movember Foundation. And through his business, Radiate, turning up to share his two decades of marketing and digital brand building and health promotion experience with the likes of Southern Cross Austereo, Peter Mac, The Women’s Hospital and Sensis. Of every role Jeremy has ever played, fatherhood brings him by far the most joy, and is also by far the most challenging.
