Got 8 M8? isn’t a campaign — it’s a code between mates.
Inspired after watching leadership author Simon Sinek share how just eight minutes of genuine conversation can change how we feel, Beyond The Banter turned that idea into something real.
It’s a reminder to check in, switch off, and give a mate your time — not your advice.
There’s no script, no pressure, and no perfect words. Just real connection that could change someone’s day.
Whether it’s at work, after training, or over a coffee — eight minutes can make the difference.
Ask it. Give it. Mean it.
Because mateship isn’t just banter — it’s being there when it counts.
