Mental health challenges in the corporate world aren’t just the result of burnout — they’re also about the quiet pressures we learn to carry, even behind the achievements everyone celebrates.Today’s episode features an Oxford History & Politics graduate, Amazon Best-Selling author and trainee solicitor as we unpack the emotional weight of high-performance spaces. We speak openly about what it means to be Black in elite environments — the silent cost of excellence, the pressure to constantly prove yourself, and the mental toll that often goes unnamed.We also dive into his newly published book, Ministry of Troubled Scholars, and the truths it reveals about navigating identity, ambition and expectation.This conversation arrives just in time for International Men’s Day Celebration— a reminder of the importance of men’s mental health, vulnerability and redefining strength beyond performance.Success should never require self-sacrifice or silence.
