In this episode of Gents Talk, supported by Bulova (E#178), host Samir Mourani sits down with Colin Smith, a viral content creator and mental health advocate, for a powerful conversation about self-worth, identity, and what it truly means to choose yourself — even when the world tells you not to.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to shrink.
💬 What we cover:• Growing up in a single-parent household — and the impact it had on self-belief• Why choosing yourself isn’t selfish, but necessary• How to break the cycle of people-pleasing and reclaim personal boundaries• The mindset shifts required to build confidence from the inside out• What happens when you stop seeking validation and start trusting your own voice
If you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, felt overlooked, or wondered how to rebuild confidence, how to heal, learning to navigate complicated family relationships and more, this episode will speak directly to you. It’s honest, grounding, and a reminder that choosing yourself isn’t a moment — it’s a lifelong practice.
