#45: Opening Up as a Man in Today's World with Ted Phateon
This episode covers the Mental Health category.
Join Sammy Warrayat and Ted Phaeton as they talk about his journey with entrepreneurship, mental health, and personal growth. Ted is a meteorologist and anchor by profession. In this episode, he expounds on the story that made him the man he is today.
Going Live
Being an anchor on live television bears responsibility because things that are said cannot be taken back. It is far different from a pre-recorded podcast, as told by Ted, because edits can be made before releasing an episode. Learning from his mentors in the business, Ted had two things as advice: know the subject matter and trust thyself. Knowing gives confidence because knowledge is power. Ted compares going live as addressing one’s insecurities, as opposed to recording that is sitting with insecurities longer. When on-air, one has no choice; there is no turning back. Despite that, Ted did what he could to flourish in his career. In the end, he is far more comfortable and finds it easier doing things live than recording them.
Man Up
No man is a template. Everyone has their differences, but a pattern Ted saw was that men loved helping each other. The thing that prevents men from doing so is the expectation of how men should act as put up by society. From experience, and in an effort to change the narrative of how men should be, Ted’s advice is to be the vulnerable one. He likens it to high school football: everyone knows who the players are, but girls dig the guys with the most scruffed-up jersey. He explains that showing those dented armors and still standing up means surviving to tell the story. That is the same with vulnerabilities because it shows that one has stood their ground besides trials.

Ted Phaeton has a Degree in Broadcast Meteorology along with a professional certificate in Geographic Information Systems.
