Forgiveness is something we all struggle with. However, studies have found that the act of forgiveness can reap huge rewards for your health, lowering the risk of heart attack; improving cholesterol levels and sleep; and reducing pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression and stress. Today, David is going Man to Man with an influencer, father, and skateboarder who knows all about the power of forgiveness, Lheighton Cook. The two talk about what it took for him to forgive his father. The importance of it on one's mental health, and how it all ties into being the man he is today.

As we all know, being different than what people think Black men should be gets you straight mocked, being vulnerable is not something we expect from Black men. Whether that comes from wearing "feminine" colors, not being fit, to enjoying certain hobbies, there are some things that Black men avoid because they don't want to be talked about. For body positive, model and NAACP Image Award nominated author Kelvin Davis, that was an afterthought. He's been rocking his style since childhood. As a girl dad and a dapper gentleman Kelvin spreads joy just by being him, but where does he pull his confidence from? David and Kelvin go Man to Man to discuss not only where he pulls his confidence from, but societal standards for men, body positivity, and health.

Welcome back fam! Today David goes man to man with an actor, and comedian but also a father and overall good dude Jermaine Fowler. The two discuss how comedy was truly a way for Jermaine to make something of himself when everything seemed hopeless, how much of one's self it takes to make others laugh, and the intersection of religion and wellness. Jermaine has really seen and been through so many ups and downs and his views on it all are worth the listen.

Today we are starting out Black History Month right with this brother right here! Hosea Chanchez is an actor and producer who has been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years and is probably best known for his role in The Game which you can catch on Paramount+ but his talents don't stop there - Hosea is also a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and support within the Black community. As David and Hosea sit down for a chat on what's happening in The Game, his wishes for Malik, and he reveals something he's never shared before.

If you know anything about these Black Love streets, then you know Sean Patrick Thomas is a favorite around here. He's a loving husband, a great dad, and a phenomenal actor, and today he's sitting with David to talk about Till the heartbreaking true story of the historic lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till through the eyes of his mother Mamie Till-Mobley in which he plays Gene Mobley.

David and Sean chat about what (if any) similarities he finds he has with Gene Mobley. Plus are there any parallels in what Mamie taught Emmitt and what he's trying to instill in his children? Plus listen in to hear how his routine helps keep him on track with his wellness goals. Sean is an amazing brother who just gets it, and this is a conversation that has gems all the way through!

Make sure to follow Sean @seanpthomas to keep up with everything he's doing and get your tickets to TILL right now by going to tillmovie.com

Hey Black Love fam! Today David is back with a legend in the music game. He has worked with all the big names like Kanye and Rihanna (and a bunch more), but he is also an entrepreneur, a family man, and a brand new author. We're talking about Benny Pough!

Benny is back to talk about his new book On Impact which is full of lessons on living a life of impact, rising through the leadership ranks, and having to overcome a near-death car crash that almost took it all. It is a testament to not only his perseverance and his life journey, but how he values success and his mission to help uplift others.

Listen in as he shares more of how he got to this place in his life where he's trying to find his new version of success, what true wellness is to him, and what motivates him to keep going.

Make sure to follow Benny @bennypough to keep up with everything he's doing and pick up your copy of On Impact today.

Happy one year of Man to Man and International Podcast Day! 🥳🥳🥳 Just for International Podcast Day you can catch the full video of this conversation on Youtube!

Toxic masculinity. What is it? Is it really an issue or is it some buzzword? We brought in two brothers to have a conversation about masculinity in all forms, but especially centered around being Black men: Karega Bailey, artist, educator, and angel father, and King Jay Barnett, author, speaker, and mental health therapist. Perhaps more important than the question of what is toxic masculinity is “how do we acknowledge behavior that is toxic that seems to be consistently perpetrated by men”? Honestly, there are so many questions and points asked that this is only one piece of the framework necessary for healing. But we have to start somewhere, and this is a great start with two phenomenal brothers.

Make sure you show Karega and Jay love on ig @karegabailey and @kingjaybarnett

Ray Singleton is a lot of things, but you might know him as America's Husband. He first stole a lot of hearts as he started sharing his wife, Roslyn's, cancer journey. Or You might have met him for the first time on the latest season of Black Love Doc. OR This might be your first introduction to Ray in which case you are late to the party! Ray is positivity personified. David and Ray discuss just how masculinity intertwines with being more than being a provider, how Roslyn has helped him grow as a man, and how happiness is key to his life.

Steve Harris is a multi-hyphenate to the nth degree. He's a producer, an entrepreneur, an Emmy winner, a documentarian, a network executive, and he and David happened to cross paths at his latest project, Sneakertopia. But perhaps just as interesting as all the things that Steve has managed to do and create and work on, are the paths he had to take to get there. From his early days at Howard University, to being a young father and navigating college and parenthood at the same time, to trying to chase a dream and rejection, Steve has experienced it all. Plus how has all of this tied into his own wellness journey and making time and finding balance with doing everything and doing what you need to do for yourself?

Make sure you keep up with what Steve has going on with Sneakertopia by following @gosneakertopia

David is back with Bryan to finish their conversation and this round they're going into more of what exactly Bryan does as an ICF Accredited Leadership Coach. Surprisingly enough, leadership is so much more than just the being the person in charge. It encompasses a doubt, and stress, and performances and humility and want. Listen in as Bryan and David reflect on their growth, development and what their journey from adolescence to manhood has looked like for them.

Make sure you connect with Bryan @bmarcwinston or check out his website bryanwinstoncoaching.com
