We are back and Glizzy Season is upon us! Truthfully speaking.... we all over the place this week purely ignorant as we catch up on the time missed and kick off summer the right way!
We've all been caught slippin' at some point in our life where we thought the person we were with was for us only to find out they may have been for everybody.

As parents we go to extreme lengths to protect our children but do we ever stop to think if we are doing what's really best for them? Are we really protecting our kids from things or are we protecting our own fear and anxiety?
We have all been at a point in our life where we wanted what we wanted right NOW! Resist the struggle of comparing yourself to others or being jealous of what others have. Learning how to be content will do more for our long term success than having immediate gratification. The key is to be ready when the time comes for you to receive what you are asking for.
This week the fellas talk about the guidance they received as young men. Who taught us how to be a man and what did they teach us a man was? Ultimately we come to learn that no matter what we were taught as young men we all at some point have to make a decision about the kind of man we want to be.

Some find value in our ability to put it down in the bedroom and others find value in being able blow a bag. The truth of the matter is neither one of these is answer and we losing sight of what's most important and thats personal growth.
"Everybody can't go with you," That's a phrase that we hear but often do not give much thought to. Iron sharpens iron is not just a cliche, your friends can truly be your edification or your cage. It is extremely valuable for each of us to take inventory of the people we choose to hang around.
Don't try to read other people's mind on the flip side don't make other people try to read yours! We as people really need to learn how to communicate effectively when dealing with conflict instead of expecting others to just "know".
Is it fair to judge a man for actions he takes to defend or protect what's his? Men are often judged harshly for their actions good or bad. Since we never know what anybody is really going through internally can we really draw a line in the sand on what is considered "too far"?
What does it mean to be open minded?? Open-mindedness is receptiveness to new ideas. In this episode the fellas try their hardest to challenge Mel's open-mindedness as it relates to the way in which he approaches the views and knowledge of others.
Are men condition to lie or do we get some kind of satisfaction from it? The truth of the mater is men lie for many different reasons. When a man perceives that there is no upside to telling the truth, he may choose to lie. The funny thing is at times we lie to ourselves more than we do others...

Is porn doing more damage to our manhood than it is good? Porn affects us in more ways than we know or would like to admit. This episode the fellas talk about the damaging effects of porn include addiction, isolation, distorted beliefs and perceptions about relationships and sexuality, negative feelings about themselves, and the neglecting of other important areas of our lives.
Is the concept of "Black Excellence" toxic in nature? Are men attempting to live up to unrealistic Ideals of what is deemed to be excellent? On this episode the fellas discuss the pursuit of excellence and its potentially negative affects on our mental health.
Why do men always feel like we have to "fix" everything? Do things really need to be fixed or are we subconsciously attempting to make ourselves appear more valuable? Sometimes you just have to know when to let things be as they are.
It's time for us to get to work! We have to stop relying on others to "save us" or invest in us. We have to learn how to be active participants in our own growth, development and wellness.

This week we discuss Toxic Masculinity and its potential negative impacts in our day to day lives.
Men often times choose to suffer in silence instead of speaking up about their challenges. But do we really know how much it is costing us? This episode we focus on the damaging affects of suffering in silence. It's time for us as men to stop taking the easy way out and focus on strengthening our communication skills. We have to create the environments we want to experience instead of hoping that comes to us.
Affirmation and praise are more important to men than society would like to admit. How much weight does a man's performance have in society?
