About this listen

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.

  • What Kind Of Father Are Your Reactions Raising
    Feb 27 2026

    We challenge the myth that leadership at home is control and show how stability, humility, and consistency create safety for partners and kids. We share tools to replace fear-based habits with influence, emotional labor, and predictable, calm discipline.

    • redefining leadership at home as influence, not intimidation
    • healthy partnership as collaboration and shared responsibility
    • parenting with calm correction and consistent consequences
    • authority versus fear and the cost of anxiety
    • emotional labor: listening, compromise, and showing up daily
    • breaking generational patterns and choosing what works
    • five-question audit to assess safety and trust at home
    • one-week practice: replace one reactive response with a calm correction

  • If Sex Needs Pressure, It Isn’t Love
    Feb 20 2026

    Send a text

    We confront how entitlement, porn, and unspoken expectations corrode trust and safety in sex, and why consent must be enthusiastic, ongoing, and freely given. We own past harm, define coercion clearly, and lay out how healthy sexual leadership sounds and feels.

    • unlearning entitlement and harmful scripts about sex
    • defining coercion and the subtle ways pressure shows up
    • why safety, not pressure, creates real intimacy
    • how porn distorts expectations and pushes partners away
    • consent as ongoing, enthusiastic, and changeable
    • practical language for check-ins and stopping
    • breaking cycles for sons and daughters through character

    Your call of action this week, as men, is to listen with humility, reflect honestly, and then share this episode with a man who needs to hear it
