Men gather in a candid conversation about personal audits — the daily practice of checking your mindset, relationships, and choices. They discuss accountability, discipline, fatherhood, and the influence of social media, music, and culture on young men.

The episode explores why great men often feel lonely, how mentors and community can guide growth, and practical steps to remove toxic influences and take responsibility for your path forward.

Host The Dude sits down with mental health advocate Nisha Speaks to discuss stigma, vulnerability, and mental health in the Black community, with a focus on Black men and veterans.

They explore grief, life transitions, self-care for helping professionals, challenges working with children and parents, and the need for culturally responsive care.

The episode includes candid, raw conversation (and a few technical hiccups), plus information on Nisha's live men’s space and upcoming community events.
