Shownotes

There’s a silent weight many men carry—the pressure to provide, succeed, and never fall apart. In Mind Over Masculinity, hosted by Yusuf, guest Michael Newmann opens up a deeper conversation about money, identity, and emotional cost.

This episode is for anyone who feels trapped between financial responsibility and personal fulfillment. You’ll hear how unseen pressure influences decisions, relationships, and self-worth—and why more money doesn’t always mean more peace. It’s an honest reflection on what truly matters beyond numbers.
