In this episode, I have an insightful conversation with Alex Black. Alex is a Leadership and Team Development Coach for new managers and founders, and is a firm believer in providing coaching for first-time managers and founders to help them and their teams succeed and avoid the many trap doors that exist in the first few months in these roles.
Alex (and I) believe strongly that executive level coaching shouldn’t be exclusively for C-Suites, and that everybody deserves to have a terrific manager, which can be life-changing. Alex believes that investing in personalized development for new managers is key to the health and success of an organization.
Alex has a Bachelors in Communication from Boston University and a Masters in Nonprofit Management from NYU. She is a certified MBTI practitioner.
When she isn’t working with new managers, you can find Alex teaching dance cardio classes, officiating weddings or hanging out with her daughter and husband in South Orange, New Jersey.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
