Welcome to the rawest episode we’ve done yet. This week on Sippin’ on Excellence, Coach KJ and Doc Hunt dive headfirst into the silent war most men are losing: their mental health.

We’re unmasking the high-performing man who looks like he’s winning… but is emotionally drowning. We’re challenging outdated definitions of masculinity that keep men locked in shame, stress, and silence.And we’re breaking down why that “strong, silent type” image is killing men from the inside out.

From performance pressure, suppressed emotions, to the emotional cost of pretending everything's fine, it’s time to rewire how we see strength.

If you’re a man, know a man, love a man — this episode is your permission slip to go deeper.

In this powerful and no-holds-barred episode, Coach KJ and Dr. Hunt sit down with none other than The Honorable Judge Greg Mathis—the streetwise icon who turned a troubled youth into a lifetime of service, justice, and unapologetic leadership.

Judge Mathis opens up about his past as a juvenile, the moment he knew education would be his weapon, and how he used the courtroom as a platform to fight for the voiceless. We dive into the major influences that changed his trajectory, how he stayed grounded in his community roots, and why he never traded in his authenticity for respectability.

This isn’t just a story of redemption, it’s a masterclass in reclaiming power, building purpose, and giving back with a vengeance.

Whether you're a fan of justice, the underdog’s rise, or real talk about Black excellence, this episode is a must-listen.

“I’m still the street guy... I just made it.” — Judge Mathis

In this week’s episode Coach KJ and Doc set fire to one of the most overused and under-delivered concepts in personal development: work-life balance. The truth is, for high-performers and purpose-driven people, the idea of true balance is not just unrealistic… it can be a trap.

We dive into the myth of balance in work, relationships, and the pursuit of success. What society sells as “peace” often feels like pressure. Friends, family, even well-meaning strangers love to offer advice, “Take more time off,” “You need a vaca,” “You’re doing too much.” But often that advice has more to do with their discomfort than your burnout.

Instead of chasing a picture-perfect version of balance, this episode challenges you to create your own version of rhythm, alignment, and intentional chaos. Because sometimes your grind is your therapy. Sometimes imbalance is exactly what your growth demands.

It’s time to redefine what your life should look like. And no, you don’t owe anyone an apology for being obsessed with building something great.
