In this episode of Positively Undefeated, we delve deep into the world of emotional resilience and mental health among men. As we navigate the everyday struggles faced by ordinary individuals, I open up about my own experiences with feeling overwhelmed, the battle against inner demons, and the quest for empowerment. The conversation is as candid as it is compelling, with an emphasis on how critical it is to remain positively undefeated in the face of adversity.
I have the pleasure of speaking with Jared Chow Fant, the creator of the Brotherhood Mentality Mission podcast. Jared shares his journey from a traditional life to finding his voice in faith and outreach. We discuss his transformative moments, including a pivotal sermon that reignited his passion for teaching and connecting with men in similar struggles. His mission emphasizes breaking the silence that often surrounds men's mental health issues, drawing on his own challenges with vulnerability and the importance of sharing one's story.
Throughout our conversation, we touch upon the historical context of masculinity and the societal expectations that often hinder open communication, particularly regarding emotional struggles. Jared highlights the significance of establishing a support system—be it through faith or community—and the value of being honest and vulnerable with oneself and others. He recounts heartwarming stories that illustrate how these connections can change lives, especially when addressing serious issues like addiction and loneliness.
We also explore the topic of spiritual warfare and how it plays a role in the everyday lives of men today. With an understanding that many are searching for fulfillment in the wrong places, we discuss the key steps to overcome those voids—honesty with oneself, being transparent with God, and seeking the support of trusted friends. Jared emphasizes that being genuine is a powerful antidote to the insidious nature of depression and anxiety that many men face.
As the episode progresses, I encourage listeners to embrace their vulnerability as a means of liberation. We share insights on how community gatherings and men's groups can foster safe spaces for open dialogues about struggles and achievements alike. Jared's passion for aiding others through his platform is palpable, and we together affirm that it is indeed okay to not have everything figured out.
Join us as we navigate these impactful themes with the intent to empower listeners to open up, seek help, and understand that together, we can approach our challenges with a positively undefeated mindset. This episode is not just a conversation—it's a rallying cry for men everywhere to break the mold of silence that often holds them captive.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
