In this thought-provoking episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jerry Henderson—Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and host of Permission to Love—to unpack the hidden cost of high achievement for men. Together, they explore why so many tie their self-worth to performance, how shame becomes a silent driver of burnout, and why self-compassion is the missing link to lasting fulfillment. Jerry shares powerful insights on cultural conditioning, socially prescribed perfectionism, and shifting from fear-driven striving to purpose-led expansion. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt “never enough” despite outward success, and is ready to redefine what winning truly means.
About the Guest:Jerry Henderson is a Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and the host of the Permission to Love podcast. Specializing in helping high achievers overcome burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome, he blends positive psychology, trauma-informed practices, Internal Family Systems, and NLP to guide clients toward authentic success. His mission: to help people build resilience, embrace self-compassion, and create lives they truly want to live.
Key Takeaways:
High achievers often link self-worth to output, driven by cultural conditioning and childhood experiences.
Socially prescribed perfectionism can trap men in a relentless cycle of proving themselves.
Shame is not a healthy motivator—it erodes presence, damages relationships, and fuels burnout.
True fulfillment starts with self-acceptance and shifting from fear-driven striving to curiosity and purpose.
Self-compassion frees energy, improves performance, and supports long-term mental health.
Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for success in every other area of life.
High achievers can achieve more—and enjoy it—when they operate from expansion, not depletion.
Lasting success is built on being, not just doing.

In this deeply relevant episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Judd Shaw—award-winning author, lawyer, CEO, and father of four—for a compelling exploration of what it means to be a man today. Together, they unpack the outdated definitions of masculinity and offer a modern framework rooted in emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and authentic leadership.
Judd shares the highs and lows of building his empire and how chasing traditional markers of masculinity—wealth, status, and power—left him unfulfilled. Instead, he found purpose in connection, self-worth, and showing up fully as himself. The conversation takes on powerful topics like rising male suicide rates, emotional suppression, and loneliness—urging men to put down the armor and reclaim their humanity.
If you’ve ever felt pressured to be “strong” at the cost of your emotional well-being, this conversation is the shift you've been waiting for. Listen in to learn how to lead with heart, build meaningful relationships, and redefine your masculinity on your own terms.
About the Guest:Judd Shaw is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and the host of Behind the Armor podcast. He is known for his Connection Cure™ framework, a leadership and self-development model that helps men move from disconnection to purpose through authenticity, emotional expression, and service. His forthcoming book explores how modern masculinity can evolve to heal generational pain and rebuild connection in an increasingly isolated world.
Key Takeaways:
Masculinity isn’t toxic, but suppression is. Judd Shaw outlines how societal expectations push men to equate success with worth, leading to loneliness and emotional shutdown.
Men account for nearly 80% of suicides. This stark statistic reveals the emotional crisis many face due to stigma around asking for help.
The true measure of strength is vulnerability. Judd emphasizes that emotional expression, not stoicism, is the new benchmark of courageous leadership.
Connection is the cure. His Connection Cure™ framework (Conscious Awareness, Understand, Renew, Expand) encourages men to realign with their values and reconnect with themselves and others.
Bravery starts in the heart. Redefining masculinity requires breaking free from outdated roles, embracing healthy emotional regulation, and fostering authentic male relationships.
Men need safe spaces. Whether through men’s circles, authentic retreats, or simple real conversations, Judd advocates for emotional safety and brotherhood among men.
The next generation needs new role models. Judd proposes a modern “knight’s code”—one built on empathy, integrity, and emotional presence.
Your net worth ≠ self-worth. True fulfillment lies not in achievement but in human connection.

In this deeply insightful episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Sana sits down with Merlin Marquard to explore an unconventional yet increasingly supported approach to healing cancer — one that addresses both the biological and psychological dimensions. After his father's cancer diagnosis, Merlin took a radical path — diving into cancer literature, cell biology, and alternative healing methods — to seek out overlooked but impactful strategies.
Together, we unpack how mindset, lifestyle, and emerging research on cancer metabolism are changing the narrative around treatment and survivorship. If you or a loved one is navigating cancer, or if you’re passionate about integrative health and healing, this episode is a must-listen.
About the Guest – Merlin L. Marquard:Merlin Marquard is a cancer researcher by passion, not profession. When his father was diagnosed with aggressive cancer, Merlin dropped everything to study the disease at its root — from molecular biology to lifestyle interventions. Alongside his brother, Merlin now dedicates his work to making holistic, science-backed cancer healing resources available to patients and families across the globe.
Key Takeaways :
Mindset matters: Merlin emphasizes that one of the biggest threats to cancer recovery is the loss of hope. Studies show that patients who retain hope and purpose tend to live longer and better lives.
Cancer is not just genetic: According to recent literature, cancer is increasingly viewed as a metabolic disease rather than strictly genetic — which means it's potentially modifiable through lifestyle interventions.
The power of lifestyle: From diet to air quality, Merlin highlights how what we consume and how we live can significantly affect cancer outcomes.
Psychological support is essential: Traditional medicine often overlooks the emotional toll of cancer. Merlin and his team are building community-driven support systems to offer patients more than just medical care.
Science meets compassion: While not a medical doctor, Merlin shares research-based insights with full transparency, offering guidance that complements — not replaces — conventional treatment.

From Grind to Greatness: Redefining Success & Exit Strategy with Stephanie Hayes
Tuesday Aug 12, 2025
Tuesday Aug 12, 2025
In this thought-provoking episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Stephanie Hayes, to challenge the hustle-fueled mindset many entrepreneurs—especially men—cling to. Together, they unpack the hidden mental toll of equating self-worth with productivity and explore how business owners can build companies that serve them, not enslave them. Stephanie shares her insights on asset-based business design, shifting from income to wealth, and why emotional readiness is just as critical as financial readiness when planning your exit.
About the Guest:Stephanie Hayes is a strategic business advisor and the founder of Assets to Exit, where she helps entrepreneurs turn their revenue-driven businesses into valuable, sellable assets. With deep expertise in operational design and post-exit planning, Stephanie equips business owners to create wealth and freedom on their own terms. She’s on a mission to demystify the exit strategy conversation and normalize legacy-building for small business owners.
Key Takeaways:
Most entrepreneurs delay exit planning because they don’t believe it’s for them. That’s a myth.
Burnout often stems from lack of vision, not just overwork. A long-term strategy restores energy and focus.
Masculine energy dominates traditional business culture, but integrating feminine energy like empathy and intuition leads to more balanced leadership.
Revenue ≠ wealth. Building an asset-focused business helps create financial freedom and long-term peace of mind.
Personal brands can be sold—with the right strategy and time. Start neutralizing the business from the founder early.
Asking “What do I want?” is the first powerful step toward designing an exit that aligns with your life and values.

Reclaiming Masculinity: From Collapse to Clarity with Roman L. Binder
Monday Aug 11, 2025
Monday Aug 11, 2025
In this powerful episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Roman L. Binder—entrepreneur, masculine mindset mentor, and digital nomad—to unpack what happens when a man loses everything and chooses to rebuild from within. Roman shares his raw, unfiltered story of building a multimillion-dollar business, losing it during the pandemic, and rediscovering purpose beyond status, hustle, and societal validation. Together, they explore how modern masculinity is shifting from performance to presence—and how men can reclaim identity when external markers fall away.
About the Guest:Roman L. Binder is a former nanotech founder turned mindset mentor and global business consultant. He has built 7-figure ventures, negotiated with world leaders, and after losing it all, rebuilt his life as a purposeful nomad. Today, he helps men redefine masculinity, unlock inner resilience, and build location-independent lives rooted in mission, not ego.
Key Takeaways:
Purpose often emerges after breakdown, not before.
Masculinity built on status alone collapses when production pauses.
True rebuilding starts with acceptance, self-respect, and discipline.
Hustle is only healthy when it aligns with joy and mission.
The modern man must balance ambition with emotional self-awareness.

From Wreckage to Rebirth: Rob Rene on Masculinity, Healing & Faith
Sunday Aug 10, 2025
Sunday Aug 10, 2025
In this gripping episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik sits down with Rob Rene — a former elite athlete turned frequency medicine specialist, faith-fueled entrepreneur, and host of I Am Pain-Free. Rob shares his powerful journey from near-death after a tragic accident, through corporate success and addiction, to his awakening during the pandemic that changed everything. This is a story of loss, spiritual reconnection, and redefining what it means to be a man in a broken system.
Rob exposes the hidden truths behind Big Pharma, the flaws in the U.S. healthcare system, and the critical role of faith and natural healing. He offers hope and a roadmap to any man feeling lost or out of alignment.
About the GuestRob Rene is a former top-level athlete and now a passionate advocate for holistic healing and faith-based living. After surviving a life-altering accident and enduring years of personal struggle, he walked away from the corporate world to reclaim his purpose. Today, he leads others through health transformation using frequency medicine, Biblical wisdom, and soul-centered coaching. Rob hosts the I Am Pain-Free podcast and is the founder of Exodus Strong.
Key Takeaways
True masculinity is rooted in purpose, not performance
Healing often starts where medicine ends: in stillness, faith, and nutrition
External success means little without internal alignment
Sobriety was a turning point in Rob’s emotional and spiritual clarity
The healthcare system is profit-driven; healing should be people-driven
Every man has a calling — if you’re still breathing, your mission isn’t done

Breaking the Silence: Depression, Masculinity & Mental Healing with Noah May
Sunday Aug 10, 2025
Sunday Aug 10, 2025
In this emotionally powerful episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik sits down with Noah May—storyteller, Auburn University journalism graduate, and host of Lethal Venom podcast—for a raw and honest conversation about depression, anxiety, suicide ideation, and the deep-rooted stigma men face around mental health. Noah opens up about his battles starting at age 13, growing up in rural Alabama where vulnerability wasn’t accepted, and how podcasting became his form of truth-telling and healing. Together, they explore how masculinity is being redefined through openness, and how one conversation can change everything.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating isolation, emotional suppression, or mental illness in silence—and for those supporting someone who is.
About the Guest:Noah May is a mental health advocate, podcast host, and journalist using his voice to bridge silence and truth. As the host of Lethal Venom, he brings bold honesty to taboo subjects, helping listeners feel less alone in their struggles with mental health and identity.
Key Takeaways :
Noah first experienced depression at 13 following personal and academic challenges, compounded by the decline of his grandmother’s health.
He later battled undiagnosed anxiety during his senior year of high school, facing physical symptoms like vomiting and weight loss.
Diagnosed with both clinical depression and anxiety, Noah candidly shares how misunderstood and unsupported he felt in his environment, especially as a young man expected to “man up.”
Thoughts of suicide were part of Noah’s journey—but he shares how fear, lack of access, and the inner spark of purpose pulled him back.
Podcasting became a therapeutic outlet, allowing Noah to be radically honest, help others feel seen, and offer a safe space for emotional truth.
He emphasizes that men should never be afraid to share their pain. Vulnerability is not weakness; it is survival and strength.
For anyone struggling, Noah recommends reaching out to a trusted friend, parent, or therapist—and beginning with just one honest conversation.

What’s holding you back from doing what matters? In this powerful episode of Mind Over Masculinity, we explore how distraction and procrastination sabotage men’s mental clarity and fulfillment. Host Avik Chakraborty sits down with certified executive coach and former Hollywood executive Michael Viane to discuss how to break the cycle of reactive living and step into intentional action. From building a successful 30-year corporate career to launching his own coaching business, Michael shares how he learned to prioritize focus, overcome fear, and act with purpose. Whether you’re stuck in a job that no longer aligns or struggling to make consistent progress on your goals, this conversation will help you reconnect with what truly matters.
ABOUT THE GUESTMichael Viane is a certified business and executive coach and owner of FocalPoint Coaching. With 30 years of experience in the Hollywood entertainment industry, Michael now helps leaders and entrepreneurs break out of distraction and lead with clarity, action, and impact. He partners with the Trust Edge Leadership Institute and coaches globally across industries.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Distraction and procrastination stem from reactive living. We must train our focus daily, especially in a world that rewards constant stimulation.
Mike shares how his corporate success masked deep inner dissatisfaction—until he found the courage to pivot toward a purpose-driven business.
Procrastination is often fear in disguise—fear of failure, fear of judgment, or fear of the unknown. Reframing discomfort is key to growth.
The 80/20 rule and DMAs (Difference-Making Actions) help identify what really moves the needle. Specific, time-bound actions create momentum.
Tools like Mel Robbins’ 5-second rule and morning focus blocks build momentum and prevent mental hesitation.
Masculine success is being redefined—not as perfection or pride, but as the courage to ask for help, pause, and lead with intention.

In this bold episode of Mind Over Masculinity, we challenge outdated beliefs about pain, posture, and masculinity with guest Dr. Edward Esposito—a Miami-based chiropractor with nearly 30 years of experience. We dive deep into how nutrition, alignment, and non-invasive therapies like dry needling, shockwave therapy, and the Cox technique can unlock strength, reduce chronic pain, and restore vitality for men at every stage of life. From elite NFL athletes to office workers suffering in silence, Dr. Ed reveals why holistic health isn’t a trend—it’s a necessity. If you’re tired of short-term fixes and ready to reclaim your health, this episode offers a roadmap.
About the GuestDr. Edward Esposito is a renowned chiropractor based in Miami, Florida. With nearly three decades of hands-on experience, he specializes in spinal alignment, posture correction, chronic pain relief, and integrating nutrition with chiropractic care. He has worked with professional athletes, cancer survivors, and everyday individuals looking for real, lasting healing. Dr. Ed is also a 15-year cancer survivor and an early adopter of technologies like infrared therapy, red light therapy, and biohacking.
Key Takeaways
Gut Health = Joint Health: Poor digestion can lead to chronic joint inflammation. Dr. Ed breaks down how gut imbalances allow undigested proteins to travel to joint sites, creating pain and stiffness.
Pain Is a Message, Not a Weakness: Ignoring pain delays healing. Men are taught to "push through it," but that mindset often leads to injury. Real strength lies in self-awareness.
Posture is Power: Misalignments in posture—often from daily habits—can create biomechanical imbalances that lead to chronic pain. Fixing these patterns changes everything.
Holistic Treatments Work: Techniques like dry needling, Trigenics, shockwave therapy, and spinal decompression can rapidly relieve pain, improve performance, and prevent surgery.
Nutrition is Undervalued in Mainstream Medicine: Anti-inflammatory diets, Omega-3s, and natural supplements like turmeric can outperform over-prescribed medications in managing pain.
Younger Men Are Smarter About Health: From fitness to food, Gen Z and Millennials are more health-conscious, driven by awareness, social influence, and performance goals.
Chiropractic First, Not Last: It’s time we stop seeing chiropractic as the last resort and start treating it as the first step toward realignment—physically and mentally.
