Known widely for his roles in films like 'King Richard' with Will Smith, 'Challengers' with Zendaya, and the anticipated Fantasy Romantic Dramedy, 'Believe,' Jake also holds a prominent position as a professor of Sport Psychology in the bustling city of Los Angeles.On this episode, we unravel the intertwined threads of toxic masculinity and the vegetative state of plant growth, a metaphorical representation of the nurturing, growth, and development required for men in our society today. Our host, Izzy, critically analyzes these connections through a candid dialogue with Jake, considering his diverse experiences as an actor, producer, and a sport psychologist.They dive deep into the concept of toxic masculinity on multiple levels, from the spheres of rap and sports to everyday life situations, while unmasking the societal pressure that pushes men to suppress their emotions and adopt an excessively dominant, self-reliant persona. Taking inspiration from influential alpha male podcasters like Kevin Samuels, Andrew Tate, and the hosts of the "Fresh &amp; Fit" Podcast, Izzy and Jake explore the line where assertiveness can transition into aggression and how this delicate balance impacts the overall mental health and wellbeing of men in our society.Throughout the podcast, Jake offers us an intimate glimpse into his multifaceted life – from his acting career and work in sports psychology to his experiences living in Europe and speaking fluent French. As a former NCAA Division I tennis player, he offers a unique perspective on how athletic competition can shape mental fortitude and resilience.

His insights, coupled with an in-depth discussion on the societal expectations of 'manliness,' offer listeners a fresh perspective on the shifting paradigm of masculinity. Together, they challenge the stigma associated with being a 'sassy' man and break down the misinterpretations around the terms 'sassy,' 'toxic masculinity,' and 'masculine.'This episode makes a compelling case for redefining masculinity norms and fostering an environment where men are encouraged to express their emotions and seek help when needed, highlighting the critical role that this plays in mental health. To keep things light and engaging, the episode incorporates fun and challenging games that prompt Jake and Izzy to distinguish between behaviors labeled as 'toxic masculinity' or 'just masculinity.'

Invisible Progress: Unseen Growth & Why Young Men Should Wait Feat. Jason Jackson

Track 1️⃣-Seed 🫛 Feat. Tee Seals &amp; Ron B.Welcome to the brand-new series of the P.S.A Mental Health Podcast, titled "Industry Plant". Our premiere episode, “Seed”, ushers in an era of insightful discussion and relatable humor that will inspire, motivate, and enlighten. Join us as we delve into the intricacies of mental health, personal growth, and the ever-evolving dynamics of our contemporary world. In this first episode of "Industry Plant", our distinguished guests, Tee Seals and Ron, infuse their unique perspectives and wit into the discourse. Tee, fresh from her military service at the age of 30, brings a newfound zest for life, the tenacity of a soldier, and a charismatic humor. Simultaneously, Ron, soon-to-be a father again, sheds light on the anxiety and joy of a new beginning and the emotional preparation required. Their shared wisdom and experiences pepper the episode with humor and intellectual depth, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. “Seed” dives into the complex world of social media, examining its benefits and pitfalls. We delve into conversations around popular culture, like the funny yet pointed discussion where Tee challenges our host Izzy’s preference for Gucci Mane's song "Lemonade" over Beyonce’s critically acclaimed album. This episode does not shy away from sensitive topics like addiction with a conversation about perc 30's and the fight against temptation.In alignment with our philosophical inspirations—Seneca's reflection on beginnings and endings, the wisdom from Ecclesiastes, and Socrates' perspective on change—we explore the meaning of "new beginnings". We ponder over what it means to plant a seed for the future, metaphorically and literally, and discuss investments, harvests, and what kind of plant we'd prefer to be. Not only do we dissect the lyrics of Gucci Mane's "Lemonade", but we also challenge the narrative it paints of overnight success. We examine new beginnings that may not necessarily be celebrated, like those involving unrealistic expectations or promoting unhealthy behaviors. With references to movies, personal anecdotes, and surprising twists, we explore what happens when the ‘seed’ of a new beginning turns out to be bad, or not as expected. We also explore how social media and shows like “Love &amp; Hip Hop”, affect our decision making. An essential part of the podcast revolves around mental health and its relationship with new beginnings. We delve into the psychology behind resilience, self-efficacy, personal growth, self-understanding, and lifestyle changes—all significant factors in embracing new beginnings. Through these discussions, we hope to shed light on the importance of mental health in navigating life's transitions. The three also discuss, the newest Netflix film, “The Perfect Find” featuring Gabrielle Union and Keith powers. The trio discusses how her new beginning came in a form she didn’t expect, and how sometimes our new beginnings can come in ways we would have never imagine, but things are possible when we allow God to blow our mind! In addition to intellectual discussions, “Seed” features a playful segment called "Gametime: Seed or No Seed", where we examine some of the most prominent investments in popular culture and real life. The episode wraps up with a question/challenge to listeners, urging introspection and readiness for new beginnings.So join us in this enlightening episode, as we embark on a journey of growth, understanding, and humor. As Isaiah 43:18-19 reminds us, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" Let's perceive and embrace this new beginning together—this is "Industry Plant", and this is your P.S.A Mental Health Podcast.

With references to movies, personal anecdotes, and surprising twists, we explore what happens when the ‘seed’ of a new beginning turns out to be bad, or not as expected. We also explore how social media and shows like “Love &amp; Hip Hop”, affect our decision making. An essential part of the podcast revolves around mental health and its relationship with new beginnings. We delve into the psychology behind resilience, self-efficacy, personal growth, self-understanding, and lifestyle changes—all significant factors in embracing new beginnings. Through these discussions, we hope to shed light on the importance of mental health in navigating life's transitions. The three also discuss, the newest Netflix film, “The Perfect Find” featuring Gabrielle Union and Keith powers. The trio discusses how her new beginning came in a form she didn’t expect, and how sometimes our new beginnings can come in ways we would have never imagine, but things are possible when we allow God to blow our mind! In addition to intellectual discussions, “Seed” features a playful segment called "Gametime: Seed or No Seed", where we examine some of the most prominent investments in popular culture and real life. The episode wraps up with a question/challenge to listeners, urging introspection and readiness for new beginnings. So join us in this enlightening episode, as we embark on a journey of growth, understanding, and humor. As Isaiah 43:18-19 reminds us, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" Let's perceive and embrace this new beginning together—this is "Industry Plant", and this is your P.S.A Mental Health Podcast.

Raw and Uncensored: How Millennials Can Stand Firm Amidst the Chaos Feat. Mikey Pearlz

Eli Halpern

Welcome to the twelfth episode of the seventh season of the PSA: The Mental Health Podcast! In this episode, we delve into a truly unique topic - the art of "unbigging" your back for the summer through the strategic incorporation of fasting and protein in your diet. Designed to enlighten and equip our young millennial audience, this episode is a must-listen if you're looking to grasp and wield the power of these essential health practices. There is also a breakdown of the different types of fasting a person can and should do as well. We are excited to introduce our guest for this episode - the versatile and vibrant Eli Halpern. Wearing many hats as an entrepreneur, rapper, and stand-up comic, Eli is a man of many talents. His journey from selling his family's valuables on eBay, to his audacious claim that society operates like a pyramid scheme, to his unique chimpanzee diet, and his unfiltered insights on why we need to eliminate all forms of entertainment, including YouTube and the news, while fasting, creates a compelling conversation that you won't want to miss. A key highlight of this episode is our "Happy Hour" segment where we critically dissect the 2008 hit, "Look Back at It" by Trina. It’s a deep dive into the potential dangers of toxic lyrics, particularly for impressionable young listeners who sang along without fully understanding the implications. This raises pertinent questions about the content we consume and its subtle impact on our mental well-being. The episode unfolds to explore the role of discipline, its relationship with fasting, the crucial role of protein intake, and the often overlooked correlation between physical health and mental well-being. We also explore the intriguing realm of entrepreneurship, the therapeutic power of music and comedy on mental health, and the unexpected benefits of a sustainable, cricket-based diet on conditions such as anxiety and depression. Eli opens up about his groundbreaking venture - Golden Cricket, sharing his journey of raising an impressive $150K in a span of seven months, and offers practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. From emphasizing the importance of protein for mental health to explaining different fasting methods, Eli helps us comprehend these concepts in the broader context of a healthy lifestyle. We delve into how Eli’s martial arts training informs his business strategy and mental health approach. Moreover, we challenge conventional wisdom on fasting and nutrition, particularly the idea of insects as a viable protein source. Eli also takes us through his favorite podcast interviews, the role of his music in promoting Golden Cricket, and his ambitious future plans for the brand. Our weekly sabbatical segment offers tips for maintaining dietary discipline and examines various types of fasts. We round off the episode with our game-time segment, "Disciplinarian," where Eli navigates various scenarios, providing his view on whether the individuals in question exhibit discipline. Join us for an episode that's brimming with insightful conversations, unforgettable stories, and actionable tips for unbigging your back this summer, all through the mental health lens. As always, we conclude with a challenge for our listeners - are you prepared to initiate a fasting journey this summer?

The Power of Fasting and Protein: A Summer Guide to Unbigging Your Back Feat. Eli Halpern

On this riveting 11th episode of P.S.A: The Mental Health Podcast, your host Izzy takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, tackling the oft-misunderstood theme of empathy, and its pivotal role in our interpersonal relationships and overall mental health. With a particular focus on millennials, this episode dives deep into the reasons behind struggles with empathy, the importance of overcoming these challenges, and the potential danger of desensitization in our ever-connected world. The episode features an incredible guest, Shawn Savoie, a self-published author who uses his gift of words to amplify empathy through poetry. Born and raised in Louisiana and now residing in Texas, Shawn enlightens us on how his geographical transition has influenced his life, his writings, and most importantly, his perspective on empathy. This episode is an echo of the pulse of our society, unveiling a raw, personal narrative that many can resonate with.

He unpacks his complex emotions and fears about being awkward in sensitive situations and the barriers preventing him from connecting deeply with others.

How can emotional exhaustion, personal triggers, and cultural differences impede our ability to empathize effectively? In a daring twist, Izzy explores the contentious term 'empath', arguing against its use due to its potential to lead to emotional burnout and its association with psychic or intuitive individuals. He invites listeners to question, "At what cost do we empathize?" In the second half of the episode, the conversation shifts to practical steps for fostering empathy. Izzy and Shawn discuss active listening, emotional intelligence, non-judgment, empathy mapping, and the importance of cultivating curiosity and cultural competence. The two also engage in a fun, enlightening game of "Empathy or Empathme," presenting real-world scenarios where listeners can test their empathetic responses. As the curtain falls, the spotlight lands on Shawn's personal journey, his plans to mentor young boys, and how his works in literature contribute to his larger goal of giving back to society. With a deep dive into the ways empathy can break down mental health barriers, this episode promises to leave you inspired and enriched.Stay tuned for this emotionally charged, thought-provoking episode of P.S.A: The Mental Health Podcast that scrutinizes empathy, a critical component of mental health, and challenges us to re-evaluate our own empathetic responses.

But instead of a sling and a rock, you just need a good sense of humor and a strong sense of self-worth – kind of like me playing Resident Evil despite it triggering fear. Yes, I'm addicted to those games, and no, I don't recommend them for the faint-hearted!Now, I know many of you might be tempted to suppress those negative thoughts that whisper lies into your ears - "You're a loser," "You're broke," "You're not good enough."

We'll talk about those thoughts that harass us, real-life examples of personal struggles and triumphs, and ultimately, how to maintain victory in the battle within.

Rise Above: Transform Your Life by Conquering Limitations Feat. Mandii B.

After a week off P.S.A is back for another great interview. This episode is one where we explore the transformative effects of writing on mental health for our young, mental health-conscious millennial audience. In this episode, we delve into the therapeutic benefits of writing as a powerful tool to improve emotional well-being, cope with daily challenges, and make better choices for a balanced and fulfilling life. Drawing inspiration from the saying "The Bible says to write the vision but ensure you have one first," we discuss the power of writing and its ability to help us process our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Our guest for today's episode, Damian White, a writer, rapper, and poet who has channeled his experiences with homelessness into a poetry collection, "I Made A Place For You," shares how his journey influenced his writing and how he navigated the process of channeling his experiences into poetry. We'll discuss the writer strike taking place in Hollywood and ponder whether AI could take over and push writers out completely. At 14:50, we dive into the question of what writing has to do with mental health.

After a week off P.S.A is back for another great interview. This episode is one where we explore the transformative effects of writing on mental health for our young, mental health-conscious millennial audience. In this episode, we delve into the therapeutic benefits of writing as a powerful tool to improve emotional well-being, cope with daily challenges, and make better choices for a balanced and fulfilling life. Drawing inspiration from the saying "The Bible says to write the vision but ensure you have one first," we discuss the power of writing and its ability to help us process our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Our guest for today's episode, Damian White, a writer, rapper, and poet who has channeled his experiences with homelessness into a poetry collection, "I Made A Place For You," shares how his journey influenced his writing and how he navigated the process of channeling his experiences into poetry. We'll discuss the writer strike taking place in Hollywood and ponder whether AI could take over and push writers out completely. At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNGjUYNtrKA&amp;t=890s" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">14:50</a>, we dive into the question of what writing has to do with mental health.

Megan thee Stallion Case, 2023 Planning, & Being a Good Leader Feat. Ruben Alvarez Brand Shark

Quarter Life Crisis Returns for the first part of a two-part bonus finale for not only this album/series but for season 6. This episode was mainly inspired by Rome Flynn's interview on a podcast called "Mando &amp; Friends". This week's episode features Amir Harris, who is a filmmaker, writer, editor, and podcaster who currently lives in Baltimore. Millennials always seem to catch the most hell for doing things that are deemed as "foolish" because they break traditions. There are several discussions including being the main character, a discussion about Ashanti, not being ready for greatness, going back to school at an older age, and being an advocate for black men and black boys, even celebrating milestones that don't center around marriage and children. The episode even ends with a discussion about notorious black films like "Soul Plane", &amp; "Pootie Tang,". The most important mental shift you can make as you get altitude on your life and career is to stop thinking in terms of categories and boxes, especially as they apply to you. The spaces between categories and boxes are much more interesting than anything inside the boxes! - Liz RyanAmRock's social media Instagram: @therealamrockhl
