ManTFup Podcast

Good Days and Bad Days, we all have ‘em, but what do you do when the people you work with or who work for you can’t move beyond the negative.  In this era of mental health awareness is it fair to ask people to compartmentalize their feelings until the job is done?  Is it fair for an employer to put more weight on an employees attitude than on their productivity?  

In 2022…Can you tell people in the workplace to ManTFUp?  Better yet can we teach them to ManTFUp through our own actions and words?  

Some people will say no to both but that’s what the ManTFUp Podcast is here for…Enjoy!

For most of us social media started off as entertainment, right?  Twitter was the place people went to share super random facts about their day along with both popular and unpopular opinions on a wide variety of subjects.  In fact, twitter was thought of as the place people would share the truth with millions of strangers while Facebook was jokingly referred to as the place millions of people went to lie about what was going on in their lives to people they know.  We think it’s safe to say this is primarily still true for both apps.  However, what’s definitely changed is the amount of information we now access via these apps and more so the amount of  weight, truth, and “expertise” we attribute not only to posts we scroll through, but also to the people/accounts/sources responsible for posting and or sharing the information.

It truly doesn’t matter what it is, the content on our timelines is as good as Gospel, for most, and what’s worse is that we no longer seek out additional information beyond what we saw in 15-60sec viral video clip or read in a tweet….and that’s a problem.  What happened to “getting all the facts” before formulating an unwavering opinion? Better yet, what happened to “seeking a second opinion”?  We do it when it comes to our physical health so why not seek a second opinion when it comes to posts that clearly have such a powerful effect on our emotional and mental health. Why are we so quick to BELIEVE or make judgement based off of what we know is only a piece of the bigger picture and when did we become so lazy???  We get in to this and more so get ready ‘cuz its time to MANTFUP!!!

        In Episode 23 of the ManTFUp Podcast Lenny and KimmyB sit down with Jose “Flaco” Perez, a long time personal trainer turned local boxing gym owner and youth coach and mentor. Flaco is bringing his New York realness and hustle to the ManTFUP Man Cave sharing not only his journey but more important his struggles and the lessons life taught him and how he learned to ManTFUp.  
        From amateur boxer, to college dropout, to culinary creative, to aspiring firefighter, to personal trainer, nurse, and now entrepreneur/community mentor Jose has mastered the art of Rolling with Life’s proverbial punches!  He admits when it comes to life he hasn’t always done things the “right” way and it certainly hasn’t always been easy but he has somehow always managed to pick himself up, dust himself off and start again…in short he’s also mastered the art of Manning TF Up and we hope you enjoy hearing his story as much as he loved telling it!!! 

Seriously, this is a Good One so Enjoy ‘cuz it’s time to….

MANTFUP!!!
