Men Speaking Out

Men Speaking Out

Men Speaking Out is a podcast where men can openly share their positives, problems, concerns, and secrets. All our podcast shows are done in an interview/round table format. Meaning, although we welcome guests that have a background in the subject matter of discussion, we also bring on guests that do not. This gives our audience multiple perspectives. Our goal is to create an environment that promotes healthy relationships, truthful expressions and honest conversations for men.

Hey MSO Fans...this podcast is a hot one! Its all about Background Checks...

Before you date someone, doing a background check can provide peace of mind and help ensure your safety. It can reveal potential risks such as criminal records or history of deception, protect against romance scams, and verify important details about your potential partner’s past. While it may seem intrusive, confirming someone’s background encourages trans...

Determining when to move on can be challenging, and for many, it may take years to realize that engaging with certain individuals was not in their best interest.

"Family needs to be at the center of our culture" Quoted by Dr. George C. Fraser

Think about that statement for a second? Is family the center of your life. 

We (black marriages / families) are in a state of crisis. African American relationships have experienced various challenges and triumphs over time, with only one-third of African American couples being married. Why is that?

Communication is huge, we all know that. Or I would think most of us do. Nevertheless, are we effective when we communicate? Especially if we are creating dating profiles online. Are we showing our authentic self? Are we talking "to" or "with" each other? Are we presenting ourselves in true form?

Well join me (Bazz) with dating profile expert and author James Newberry of https://datingprofilesecrets.com...

This was a "on the fly" podcast. I was surrounded by family and friends and just wanted to get their input about the 4th of July holiday and it's impact to African-Americans.

It's a very short podcast (10 minutes), but interesting to hear the thoughts of my guests on this.
