A Conversation with Chef Alejandro Artwork

Excellence Above Talent Podcast

The State of Man Is in Crisis—It’s Time for a Conversation.

The Excellence Above Talent podcast was born from pain, loss, and a deep need for change.

- Men are 3.6 times more likely to die by suicide than women.
- Men commit the majority of violence in the U.S., including domestic abuse and sexual assault.
- 90% of the prison population consists of men.

These are not just statistics—they represent broken families, lost lives, and a cycle of harm and abuse that must end.

As a BIPP (Batterer’s Intervention and Prevention Program) Director for four years, I’ve had countless conversations with men—men who believed abuse was necessary, men who didn’t even realize they were abusers. What I learned is that men want to talk, but they have no safe space to do so.

Society teaches men to suppress their struggles, to avoid vulnerability, and to uphold a toxic version of manhood. But silence is destroying us.

The Excellence Above Talent podcast is here to challenge the status quo. We’re redefining what it means to be a man—one conversation at a time.

Join me. Let’s fight for the future of manhood. Our sons are watching.
