Trust is the foundation of everything we do in life. It can effect our self-confidence as well as strengthen our relationships. It is the most powerful, yet fragile token we can ever possess. Allowing us ourselves to trust seems so simple on paper, but it is one of the most vulnerable acts we can take within ourselves. Actually doing it is another story.

Trust takes time to flourish.

This week I am joined by my good friend, influencer, & connector; Tyreece Younger. Join us as we talk about building trust in relationships, the darker side of social media influencing, & how sometimes, you have to allow trust to flourish into something great.

We all want to be seen and heard. Fundamentally it is an important part of being human. Being acknowledged for things we do or even just for simply existing is so crucial to us. When that doesn't happen with those closest to us it can have a major impact on us. We start to act out or find ways to be seen. We "take the stage" and go out of our way to be noticed when in reality what we really need to do much is more simple.

Just Be You.

Today I'm joined by my close friend, TikTok star, Preston Bradley. We cover battling with depression, the whirlwind that is social media, and how  when life gives you a detour, it really brings you to where you were meant to be all along.

In life, any goals we set are oftentimes viewed as a mountain we have to climb. Most times, it's too intimidating to even look at that mountain.  It's daunting, uncomfortable, and requires more out of us than we're used to giving.  The thing is... it's doable. We have it deep within ourselves to get up that hill... we just don't believe we're worth it. We find ourselves asking: "Where do I even begin?" and the answer is quite simple.

Don't focus on the peak.
Start at the base.

My guest this week spends his days (and nights) on the frontlines of the pandemic working on the COVID-19 vaccine, my good friend Areeb Aziz, M.D. We discuss the daily battle for internal self worth, the importance of being a big brother, and the benefits sunshine and exercise can have on your mental health.

Breathing is something that's so second nature to us, we don't even think about it. Be honest. When was the last time you really took a second and listened to your breathing? Most of us don't realize that for one reason or another, we aren't breathing correctly. This has a major impact on us. Our breath is the foundation of our life and drives our body. Sometimes when things get hectic, all it takes to regain control of yourself and the world around you is to focus on the rhythm of your breathing.

To get back to the breath.

This week I'm joined by singer/songwriter and father, Delos. Join us as we tackle addiction, learning to ask for help, and breathwork techniques to help you stay centered

For most of us, routines are a part of our everyday lives. We do the same thing every morning when we wakeup, and sometimes even the same thing at night before we go to sleep. The question is.. are our routines helping or hurting us? Are there things we can add or subtract that could help us? From the things we consume, to how we spend our free time.

It's all part of the routine.

This week I'm joined by Musician and Spiritual Healer Kevin Gollogly. We talk about healing past traumas, plant medicine, and how having a healthy daily routine can really make a positive impact in our lives.

 We all have a picture in our heads of what we think our life is going to look like. We make plans, move to new cities, etc. Sometimes life has other plans and leaves us scrambling amongst the chaos to regain our footing. It's usually in moments like this that we must go back to the basics. We have what it takes to pick ourselves back up and keep going, but it requires us to start simple. 

To take things one step at a time. 

I'm joined this week by my good friend and actor, Kevin Logie. Join us as we talk about owning your mistakes, fatherhood, and finding the strength the start again.

Mental health is a tricky thing. The war that wages inside each of us daily is no joke. From emotions, to feelings, to trying to make sense of it all.  In the everchanging world around us, men are coming face to face with the old ways of being. Asking new questions and challenging the "norm". They're searching for something more. Both within themselves and the world around them. They want to heal, They want to learn, They want to grow.

That's why we're here.

In this episode, I breakdown why I started this podcast and share some of my own hero's journey that led me here. I've gotta level with you.. I only know how to be one way.. and that's me. So expect nothing but real shit ahead. It'll get crunchy at times and funny in others, but it will always be authentic. You have my word on that. So buckle up, and let's dive into the world of mental health together!
