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.

Objectification
Send us a text Objectification is the action of degrading someone to the status of a mere object. Men objectify women and think that it ok to do so. No one is challenging why we think that way and how destructive it is to all involved. Three ways why men think they need to objectify women are: 1. Nature - It's always been this way, so why change it now 2. Nurture - This is how men think they bond 3. Pain Avoidance - Men try to fill a void with sex and objectifying women Support the show #excelle...

Without Self-Discipline, success is impossible. PERIOD!!!!! - Lou Holtz
Send us a text Discipline is a way of life that most people want, but when they realize how tough it truly is, goes back to living life the easy way.
