Talking Bollox with Daren Elsley; the underwear brand highlighting men's cancers

In this episode, I talk 'Bollox' with Daren Elsley, founder of the underwear brand 'Bollox', which aims to raise awareness of men's cancers. After the death of a good friend from cancer, Daren wanted to do something to highlight men's cancers, so he decided to start his own underwear brand. After trying to balance it with a full-time job, he made the leap to devote his time entirely to building the underwear business and creating a brand that helps open up the discussion around men's cancer. We talk about comfortable underwear, challenging the UK's Intellectual Property Office, and why many men still don't talk about prostate, penile and testicular cancers, check themselves, or are still worried about going to see a GP. Plus how a pair of latex testicles is the perfect icebreaker to get people talking.
