I understand exactly what you mean, but please remember that all of us, and especially men under the patriarchy, are repeatedly told that our worth is in what we produce, how much we make, and what we achieve. It is not easy to break out of that mindset, and many men (and people in general) don't have the tools to do that.

Hearing you both speak about society based expectations on men & the impact it has & how asking for help is not what men have been lead to believe is just beautiful! I wish these conversations were so openly discussed back in 2010 when my older brother's mental health wasn't good. If men’s mental health was spoken about more back then, he might be here today. Sadly depression took him from us but I'm so happy to see the shift in culture & the push to change societal expectations! It may save lives!❤

To me the Big Sean Interviewand the Russ Interview following shortly after that last year were some of the best interviews I've heard period. They both are legends and seeing Russ coming fresh after so many years (after his interviews I listened to all his Albums and found out he has 521 songs actually :) just what a beautiful story and role model for this young generation. He is the Guru for the upcoming selfmade artists, I wish he'd do a Masterclass or walkthrough of him mixing, that part kind of he never really talked about (favorite plugins, mixing routines, approach to mixing). But we'll see, maybe he'll be at Pensados Place one Day :)

A coworker introduced me to Russ's music earlier this year which just happened to be when Santiago came out. The first song I heard was Tunnel Vision. What's funny is I just started my own personal journey to discover myself a couple months before. So that's resonated with me and I love you boy was the second song. I have those songs on my playlist. Haven't listened to the whole album yet but after watching this I am listening to it from start to finish and getting the alchemists book. I am 47 and feel like I'm a teenager rediscovering new music. I appreciate Russ and you Jay for this podcast. Keep up the good work.

Man, what a gem Russ is. I think people mislabel 'tough' as not having pain, as some do 'brave' to not having fear. I've always heard that bravery isn't being fearless, it's having fear and overcoming it anyway. So by this comparison, I think being tough isn't being invincible. It's having been through shit that tears you down, beats you up, and still emerging stronger. I'm not a Rocky fan, but it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward.

@laurennoah2316 10 ай бұрын

The interview with Russ was really good and I think more people should watch it. Also it was extremely educational. Although the interview was mostly about Russ struggles with toxic masculinity as a white male rapper, I can relate to the part where he talks about getting validation from others. Which I think are many people in today's society are struggling with on a day to day basis. And as black female I believe that we all can agree that on the part where he stays buying his mom a house and everything else mentions relating to his music career success, is nice but it's not going to never fill that empty whole he was feeling on the inside which in the long term affected his mental health. So overall I'm glad he started to go to therapy and working on improving his mental health for the better of his future. Because at the end of the day you can only validate yourself and accept yourself who you are and what you want to be in life.

Russ is beginning to be my favorite artist for sure. His self awareness and his ability to articulate his thoughts is a service to humanity. As men, I do believe we’ve been HEAVILY influenced to be this stonewalled person no matter what comes their way. But feeling negative feelings isn’t weakness, it’s an opportunity to strengthen and refine ourselves. Through our weakness comes strength. We’re not meant to do this alone. Find help through community. I wish you all the best and more. PS: THANK YOU JAY FOR YOUR PODCAST, YOUR PURPOSE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
