In this powerful, unfiltered episode of For the Fellas, we’re diving deep into what Black men carry — and what it takes to let go. From why so many of us avoid therapy, to how trauma gets passed down like family recipes, this conversation is raw, eye-opening, and overdue. 

We talk fatherhood without the fronting. Healing without the shame. Vulnerability without losing strength. 

G Herbo shares his journey of balancing family and fame. Kier Gaines delivers perspective-shifting insights that’ll challenge how you think. Rome Flynn, who who showed up with honesty and heart that shared his own feelings about healing, manhood, and breaking generational patterns. And host Brian McIntosh closes it out with the kind of truth that sticks. 

Whether you’re a father, a son, a partner, or just trying to figure it out — this one’s for you. Tap in and stay for the whole ride. You’re not alone in this.
