In this episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Carlos Davidovich—medical doctor, TEDx speaker, and author of 5 Brain Leadership—to dissect outdated masculine norms and explore a more evolved, emotionally intelligent masculinity. Carlos shares his 30+ years of work around the concept of “new masculinity,” drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and global coaching experience. They discuss how vulnerability, once misunderstood as weakness, is now a crucial leadership asset, and how emotions influence decision-making more than logic ever could. This conversation isn’t about tearing masculinity down—it’s about freeing it.
About the Guest:Carlos Davidovich, MD is a global executive coach, medical doctor, and author of Five Brain Leadership. He blends neuroscience with leadership development to help executives and organizations perform at their highest potential. Carlos has worked across Argentina, Spain, Canada, and beyond, helping redefine leadership through emotional intelligence and intuitive awareness.
Key Takeaways:
-
New masculinity embraces emotional expression, empathy, and intuition—challenging the outdated "macho" script.
-
Vulnerability is not weakness; it's awareness of uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure—and essential for modern leadership.
-
Carlos’s “Five Brains” model—rational, emotional, instinctual, intuitive, and higher self—offers a framework for holistic leadership.
-
Fathers play a critical role in shaping emotional literacy in boys, and the lack of emotional modeling can stunt healthy masculinity.
-
Redefining masculinity isn’t about erasing identity—it’s about expanding it to include the full human experience.
