She hosts guests Alan (founder of Newton Squared and creator of Men Under Pressure), Simon (entrepreneur building Neobotics AI for neurodivergent kids), and Mark (biohacking coach and strategist) as they share disrupted upbringings, career paths, and lessons about humility, asking for help, and service. The conversation explores identity, self-forgiveness, ADHD and internal voices, burnout, true versus “fake” resilience, men’s difficulty labeling feelings, and how boys learn that crying is weakness. They discuss anger as a socially permitted male emotion, men’s suicide risk and hopelessness, the need for safe spaces, breathwork/meditation, and self-awareness, ending with reflections on peace, simplifying life, and where to find them online. 00:00 Welcome and Legacy Teaser 01:10 Meet the Guests 02:47 Simon’s Journey Botswana to Startups 06:50 Mark’s Roots Work Ethic and Career 10:22 Alan on Education and Wisdom 14:44 Mirror Question Mark on Identity 19:22 Simon on ADHD Voices and Self Kindness 27:01 Alan Reflects and Coping Tools 32:15 Real vs Fake Resilience 36:34 When Boys Learn Not to Cry 39:10 Childhood Trauma and Emotional Suppression 42:31 Struggling to Cry as an Adult 45:55 Empathy Unlocks Tears 47:40 Why Men Suppress Grief 49:35 Fathers and Crying 52:15 Breaking the Cycle 57:28 Men and Suicide 01:04:10 Anger as Acceptable 01:06:29 Building Safe Spaces 01:09:33 Neurodiversity in Startups 01:11:45 Dad Life and Self Care 01:19:49 Finding Peace and Acceptance 01:26:54 Where to Find Them 01:28:09 Final Thanks and Outro Thank you so much Mark, Simon & Alan for coming on the show to express there emotions in a safe space where they could be heard and show that we all need to support each other. - Savia Rocks Support the show
