  The Men's Roundtable Series - The Man in the Mirror: Integrity, Alignment & the Hidden Life 17.09.2026 1ч 5мин

  Why is it sometimes easier to perform in public than to be honest in private? Every man has a public life and a private life. The question is whether they are actually aligned. This conversation takes an honest look at the hidden pressures men carry, the energy required to maintain an image, and the ways we use work, distraction, achievement, and other escapes to avoid what we don't want to confront. Because what remains unresolved in private rarely stays there. Eventually, it finds its way i...

  The Men's Roundtable Series Podcast - Brotherhood That Goes Deeper Than Networking 10.09.2026 1ч 1мин

  Most of us can spot a fake connection a mile away and a lot of “networking” feels exactly like that. Tonight we get honest about what real brotherhood looks like when you strip away the handshakes, the business cards, and the polished public version of ourselves. We’re chasing something harder and better: a men’s community built on trust, vulnerability, and the willingness to be known enough to actually change. We talk through the everyday places change gets resisted: money stewardship, budg...

  What does it really mean to be a strong man? For many men, strength has been defined by how much we can carry, how much we can provide, how well we can protect our families, and how effectively we can keep our struggles hidden. But what happens when strength requires us to do something different? In this MRTS Spotlight, Mista Yu sits down with Marc Paisant, mental health awareness podcast host and certified personal trainer, for an honest conversation about the intersection of physical health...

  The Man I’m Becoming Part 2 - Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be 20.08.2026 1ч 10мин

  If you’ve ever told yourself you’re “fine” while quietly feeling stuck, this conversation is for you. We sit down as a men’s roundtable and get specific about what a healthy man actually looks like when nobody’s watching: not a highlight reel, but a whole person with a mind that can learn, a body that’s stewarded, and a spirit anchored in God.

  A lot of men are exhausted and they can’t explain why. They’re doing the work, handling the bills, showing up for everyone else, and still feeling like they’re one bad day away from shutting down.

  Your feed says you’re falling behind, but the real problem might be the story you’ve been taught to tell yourself. We talk with Dr. Albert Bramante about men’s mental health, self-doubt, and the constant social media comparison that convinces good men they’re not enough, not winning fast enough, or not “man” enough. We get honest about the quiet pressure to be the rock, the provider, the tough one, and how those old scripts can trap emotions inside until they come out sideways as stress, isol...

  The MRTS Spotlight - A Man Can Ask For Help And Still Be Strong | Bryan Blackmon 06.08.2026 23мин

  Most men don’t fall apart in public, they fall apart in silence.
