Life Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint: Redefining Success & Masculinity with Mathias Lemos Castillo

In this powerful episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Mathias Lemos Castillo, a cultural strategist, equity consultant, and community builder. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to live life at your own pace—especially in a world obsessed with urgency, performance, and external validation. From societal pressures to personal endurance, this episode challenges listeners to embrace presence over productivity and purpose over pace.

About the Guest:
