The Strpd Club

We’ve been told that strength means silence. That being soft makes you less of a man. That showing emotion somehow strips you of your masculinity. But what if softness is actually the strongest thing you can lead with? In this episode of The Strpd Club, I peel back another layer and talk about the quiet power in vulnerability. I reflect on the ways I used to armor up to survive and how choosing softness has allowed me to live. From...

This one comes from a deep place. I grew up with a father who was present but not fully available. The silence. The distance. The emotional gaps. It shaped me more than I realized. Now, as a father myself, I find myself trying to become something I never had. No blueprint. No example. Just a commitment to break cycles and show up differently. This episode is about the internal battle so many men face, trying to be a present, loving...

This one’s real. And if I’m honest, it’s a truth a lot of us men carry quietly.I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was using love to heal wounds I hadn’t even named yet. Jumping into relationships hoping someone else’s love could fix what I hadn’t taken the time to face. It wasn’t intentional; it was survival.

If you’ve ever had to advocate for your kids in a situation that used to feel like ...

But in the quiet aftermath, I began to see the truth: that hitting rock bottom wasn’t the end, it was the beginning of finding myself.

In this episode, I share how losing everything I held onto ac...

What do you do when the relationship you built your life around starts to feel like a prison?

In this episode, I open up about the hard truth of staying in a marriage long after the love stopped feeling safe. I share how I ignored the signs, tried to fix what was broken, and lost myself in the process. This isn’t about blame; it’s about reflection. About realizing that love without freedom, peace, or growth… isn’t love at all.

Whethe...

At 17, I left my home in Trinidad with nothing but two suitcases and a soccer scholarship. In this episode, I share my journey of chasing the American dream...navigating culture shock, ego, survival, and the pressure to succeed. What started as a pursuit of opportunity quickly turned into a grind for acceptance, stability, and identity. This is the story of how my hustle was born… and how I nearly lost myself trying to build it all...
