In this episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik talks with transformational coach Debbie Longo about the hidden “default settings” that shape how men lead, love, and react under pressure.

This episode is for men in leadership (and anyone close to them) who feel stuck in control, shutdown emotions, or recurring conflict. You will learn how to spot manipulation patterns early, create willingness for change, and use simple pauses to interrupt autopilot before it damages your relationships, team culture, or well-being. 

Debbie Longo is a transformational coach and the host of Behavioral Profit. She works with leaders and business owners to break destructive patterns and build higher-performing lives through small behavioral shifts. 

Watch for control and manipulation patterns because they quietly destroy trust at work and home

Use “baby steps” conversations to build willingness instead of forcing change

Treat emotions like data, not distractions, and learn to name what is happening

Avoid dumping feelings on friends when you need real change, get professional support

In leadership, remember your people build the company and culture, not your ego

Try a 3-second pause and ask: “What am I trying to protect right now?”
