The Guy Talk Podcast

In this episode, I unpack why old strategies like tougher laws and longer sentences haven’t worked, and why Emotional Intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills; is the missing link for men and male youth. I'll break down real stories from Louisiana and across the nation, explore how unhealed trauma fuels crime, and look at what homes, communities, and churches must do differently.This is more than conversation; it’s a call to action for every man, father, and young brother listening.📘 Get the book: Emotional Intelligence: Cracking the Code for Men & Male Youth; the playbook for men and male youth to thrive.🎙 Bring me to your church, school, or community for a workshop: because talk without training won’t change anything.
