Shownotes

On Mind Over Masculinity, host Yusuf and Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville cut through the noise on men’s mental health and leadership. We get tactical about the difference between hypervigilance vs. mindfulness, why emotional intelligence beats pure strategy when life hits, and how to run hard conversations without posturing. Expect practical frameworks on self-trust, nervous-system regulation, vision sharing, team alignment, and ditching the myth that a leader must have all the answers. This episode is a straight talk playbook for founders, fathers, and operators who are done with survival mode and ready to lead with presence.

 

About the guest  :

Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville is an executive advisor, psychotherapist, and pioneer in mind-body leadership. A five-time founder, she coaches high-stakes leaders to integrate humanity, clarity, and courage into how they build teams and make calls under pressure.

 

Key takeaways:

  • Presence > hypervigilance: Hypervigilance lives in the head and narrows vision; mindfulness steps back to see flow, synchronicity, and context across multiple levels.

  • Humans run companies: Strategy fails without psychological safety and attunement—leaders must clock what’s humanly happening in the room.

  • Regulate, then decide: A regulated nervous system enables clarity, creativity, and ethical action under uncertainty.

  • Vision creates alignment: Share the why and who you serve so the company’s mission becomes a shared operating system, not a poster.

  • Hard talks require an open heart and a firm spine: Prepare in silence; be compassionate and clear on fit, values, and team cohesion.

  • Drop the control myth: Leadership isn’t omniscience—it’s learning in motion, delegating scope, and scaling people, not just roles.

  • Identity evolves: Every life stage trains the next; self-trust is built by noticing you’ve always found a way forward.

  • Replace burden with joy: Responsibilities don’t have to be a weight; intention and integrity move leaders from survival to sustainable performance.
