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.

The Art of Bouncing Back: Breaking Through Overwhelm
Excellence Above Talent Podcast
06/24/23 • 26 min
Ever been so overwhelmed that you felt like giving up? In this raw and heartfelt episode, I open up about my personal experiences, including hitting rock bottom, making mistakes, and finding the strength to keep moving forward. Listen in as I share the story of when I got caught stealing as a kid and thought my life was over. But through these challenges, I discovered the importance of not giving up, taking breaks, and sharpening our tools to reach our goals - even when it feels like we're stuck in the mud.
You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed. I've been there too, going on weekend binging drinking sprees and making poor financial decisions. But the love, mercy, and grace of a higher power always found me. I began to pick up the pieces and rebuild myself, sharpening my axe to ensure I follow my true path, not just what society dictates. Join me as I explore the lessons learned from our struggles and the blessings that life has to offer when we choose not to give up.

Divorce is Hard!!!!
As a man, you question your manhood.
Are you good enough?
Why didn't that person want to stay and fight with you?
Are you worthy of being fought for?
You are a good man!
You are working on your issues and building yourself to be a better man.
Stop letting society put you in a box.
You are a good man!!!!!!

Men Who Cheat Are Cowards
Excellence Above Talent Podcast
04/28/23 • 15 min
Cheating changes EVERYBODY involved!!
Coward- a person who lacks courage in facing danger, difficulty, opposition, pain, etc.; a timid or easily intimidated person.
Men who run to other women instead of facing the issue that's going wrong in their marriage or relationship are cowards.
You don't have the balls to walk away and you don't have the guts to sit and have a difficult conversation.
Communicating your needs as a man doesn't make you weak.

Change for Men is Difficult but Must be Done!!
Excellence Above Talent Podcast

I am on a quest to find out why men are three times more likely to commit suicide than women.
I have lost a few friends to suicide, and it hurts.
One of the reasons I feel men commit suicide is the fact that we fight change. We see the need to change, but instead, we put our heads down and work, work, work in the hopes that when we look up, there will be change.
When that doesn't happen, we feel like no progress has been made, and we feel useless as a man.
It is Ok to slow down and reset.
It is Ok to change.

Take a deep breathe, keep moving forward and look up!!

People pleasing is an energy-draining characteristic that you can only stop.
I was so caught up in what people thought that I stopped moving and started caring more about what people said about me.
Caring about what others think about you kills your creativity and your energy.
I started to slow down, move toward my goals, and look to God for support and help.

Men who are mysterious don't know themselves!
Excellence Above Talent Podcast
07/09/22 • 21 min
We live in a world where society tells us less is more.
Dim your light and don't let people see all of you.
If you are a man and you are looking for a woman, you should pretend, act, or be mysterious in order to get with a woman.
Let's normalize being our true, authentic selves at all times.

I have learned to find power in disruptive thinking, using it as a force to advocate for positive change and to challenge societal norms that don't resonate with my values. We'll also discuss the courage required to voice unpopular opinions, hold tough conversations, and confront societal issues head-on. My time serving in Iraq was profound and life-altering, shaping my outlook and driving my passion to fight for change.
