Excellence Above Talent Podcast
The State of Man Is in Crisis—It’s Time for a Conversation. The Excellence Above Talent podcast was born from pain, loss, and a deep need for change. - Men are 3.6 times more likely to die by suicide than women. - Men commit the majority of violence in the U.S., including domestic abuse and sexual assault. - 90% of the prison population consists of men. These are not just statistics—they represent broken families, lost lives, and a cycle of harm and abuse that must end. As a BIPP (Batterer’s Intervention and Prevention Program) Director for four years, I’ve had countless conversations with men—men who believed abuse was necessary, men who didn’t even realize they were abusers. What I learned is that men want to talk, but they have no safe space to do so. Society teaches men to suppress their struggles, to avoid vulnerability, and to uphold a toxic version of manhood. But silence is destroying us. The Excellence Above Talent podcast is here to challenge the status quo. We’re redefining what it means to be a man—one conversation at a time. Join me. Let’s fight for the future of manhood. Our sons are watching. #ExcellenceAboveTalent #MensMentalHealth #RedefiningManhood #BreakTheCycle
