Raw Minds

Infant loss, NICU trauma, PTSD, and a father’s mental health journey are at the center of this Raw Minds Podcast episode.

Nathan Wieser shares the true story of losing his infant daughter after medical failure, surviving multiple miscarriages, and enduring a life threatening NICU battle when his son was born at 26 weeks. This is a real conversation about grief, trauma, PTSD in fathers, and survival.

This episode of the Raw Minds Podcast tells the full, unfiltered story of infant loss, NICU trauma, PTSD, and survival from a father’s perspective.

Nathan Wieser and his wife Lucy endured more than a decade of loss. Four miscarriages. The death of their infant daughter Mary after a catastrophic medical failure. Trauma that nearly destroyed their mental health and their marriage.

Then came Otto.

Born at 26 weeks. Under two pounds. Intubated. Multiple surgeries. Organ failure. Two resuscitations. A code blue that pushed everything to the edge.

This episode exposes what men are rarely allowed to say out loud.
Grief. Rage. PTSD. Substance coping. The pressure to stay strong while breaking inside.

This is not a motivational story.
This is survival.

This conversation is for fathers.
For parents who lost children.
For men carrying trauma in silence.
For anyone who has waited in a hospital hallway with no control and no answers.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Nathan Wieser is the author of We Did It, a memoir written from a father’s perspective after enduring repeated miscarriages, infant loss, and a life threatening NICU journey that saved his son.

What does healing look like after war? Who helps the helpers when they break? And how do men face the pain they’ve buried for decades?

In this soul-level conversation, Erick sits down with Chaplain Sy Alli—a man who served with honor and now leads with heart. From military combat to mental health recovery, Sy’s journey reveals what happens when strength collapses, faith is tested, and identity is shattered.

He doesn’t speak in theory. He speaks from scars.

They explore the unspoken trauma many veterans carry, how emotions were trained out of them, and what it takes to finally feel again. Sy opens up about grief, loss, suicidal thoughts, and how his work as a chaplain is not about preaching—it’s about presence.

You’ll hear about his book Out of the Storm, his work with the PHIT Squad, and why leadership today must begin with vulnerability.

This episode is for men who are tired of pretending. For fathers, soldiers, helpers, and healers. For those ready to stop performing and start processing.

Whether you’re a veteran, a man in crisis, or someone who’s never told the full truth out loud—this episode will meet you where you are and help you move forward.

Welcome back to Raw Minds. I’m your host Erick.

Today’s episode is about ADHD, men’s mental health, addiction, and purpose. Not from a textbook. From lived experience.

I sit down with Ron Souers, coach, speaker, and host of the podcast Dont Mind Me I Just Have ADHD. Ron works with men navigating adult ADHD, addiction recovery, depression, and identity struggles later in life.

Ron believes ADHD is not a flaw. It is a different operating system. In a world built for linear thinking, neurodivergent men are often told they are broken, lazy, or failing. This episode challenges that narrative directly.

We talk about adult ADHD in men, why it often goes undiagnosed for decades, and how it shows up as addiction, burnout, anger, depression, shame, and self sabotage. Ron explains why so many men turn to substances, overwork, or isolation before they ever understand what is actually happening in their brain.

This conversation also goes deep into recovery.

We talk sobriety, emotional regulation, personal responsibility, and building a purpose driven life without pretending to be someone you are not. Ron shares lessons from his own journey and from coaching men who feel misunderstood, exhausted, or stuck in cycles they cannot explain.

This episode covers men’s mental health honestly. ADHD. Addiction recovery. Depression. Emotional intelligence. Identity. Purpose. And why men over forty are often carrying decades of unspoken damage.

If you are a man who feels different, scattered, burned out, addicted, or disconnected from who you thought you would be, this episode will hit close to home.

This is not motivation talk.
This is clarity.
This is responsibility.
This is Raw Minds.

IN THIS EPISODE

Adult ADHD in men
ADHD and addiction connection
Late diagnosis and identity collapse
Neurodivergent minds and purpose
Men’s mental health stigma
Sobriety and recovery
Emotional regulation
Depression in men
Breaking shame cycles
Building a purpose driven life
Why men stay silent
How ADHD can be a strength

This conversation is honest.
It is uncomfortable.
And it matters.

Welcome back to Raw Minds. I’m your host Erick.

Today’s episode is uncomfortable. It’s not polite. And it’s necessary. I sit down with Matt Melvin, author of Bullied Behind Bars, to talk about prison trauma, bullying behind bars, men’s mental health, and what incarceration really does to the human mind. Matt made one impulsive decision while working at a car dealership.

That decision sent him to prison. What followed nearly destroyed him. In Bullied Behind Bars, Matt lays out life inside the prison system as someone already marked. Gay. Christian. Trump supporter. Later diagnosed with autism. Those labels made him a target inside a system that punishes difference instead of protecting human life.

His story documents prison bullying, gang threats, physical assault, sexual assault, rape, denial of mental health care, and repeated time in solitary confinement. It shows what happens when the criminal justice system stops seeing a human being and starts seeing a problem to manage.

This conversation goes far beyond the book. We talk fear, isolation, survival, and the psychological damage caused by incarceration and solitary confinement. Matt opens up about being denied mental health care while clearly breaking, being targeted by gangs, and living in constant fight or flight while inside prison.

He also talks about where healing actually started after release. Journaling. Men’s groups. Faith. Vulnerability. Forgiveness. Letting go of ego. Turning pain into purpose instead of letting it destroy him.This episode explores men’s mental health, prison trauma, autism in the justice system, bullying, criminal justice reform, and recovery after incarceration. It is a raw look at what many incarcerated men experience but rarely feel safe talking about.

This episode is for anyone who has ever been bullied, silenced, locked up, written off, or felt trapped in their own mind. It’s also for parents, families, and anyone who believes conversations about prison reform and men’s mental health need to go deeper than slogans and surface-level takes.

This is Raw Minds at its core.

Welcome back to Raw Minds. I’m your host Erick.

Tonight I sit down with Elliot Justin, an emergency physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and innovator who has spent over 25 years working at the intersection of men’s health, technology, and real world medicine.

Elliot is the co founder of FirmTech, the company behind the TechRing, an FDA registered wearable designed to objectively measure nocturnal erections, which are a critical early indicator of men’s sexual health, cardiovascular health, hormone balance, and overall male wellbeing.

This conversation goes far beyond sex.

We talk about why erectile dysfunction is often an early warning sign, not the problem itself. ED can signal deeper issues like heart disease, poor circulation, hormonal imbalance, mental health struggles, chronic stress, trauma, sleep disorders, and lifestyle collapse.

Most men are told to pop a pill and move on.
This episode explains why that mindset is dangerous.

Elliot breaks down how data driven health tools are changing the way men understand their bodies instead of guessing, masking symptoms, or avoiding the conversation altogether. He shares insights from analyzing over 100,000 documented erections, and why objective data helps men catch problems before they turn into life altering health events.

This episode is about:

• men’s mental health

• erectile dysfunction explained honestly

• sexual health and male identity

• performance anxiety and shame

• heart health and ED connection

• wearable health technology

• preventative healthcare for men

• taking responsibility before it’s too late

This is not a gimmick episode.
It’s a real conversation about men, truth, health, and accountability.

If you’re serious about understanding your sexual health, heart health, and overall male performance, check out FirmTech and the TechRing.

The TechRing is an FDA registered wearable that gives you real data, not guesses, about what’s happening in your body while you sleep. This kind of insight can help identify health issues early, long before symptoms get worse.

Welcome back to Raw Minds. I’m your host Erick.

Tonight I sit down with William Person, a former nine-year Team USA Bobsled athlete who pushed his body and brain to the absolute limit — and paid the price in ways most people never see.

After years of extreme impacts and head trauma, William began experiencing CTE-like symptoms that slowly destroyed his memory, emotional control, and sense of self. At his lowest point, he could barely get up off the floor. He lived in confusion, depression, intense headaches, and a deteriorating brain that doctors struggled to explain.

Like so many men, he tried to push through it in silence.

Then everything changed.

William discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and for the first time in years, his mind began to come back online. His thinking cleared. His vision sharpened. His emotions stabilized. And his life — which he thought was slipping away — returned with purpose.

Today, William is on a mission to raise awareness around brain injuries, CTE, men’s mental health, and untreated trauma in athletes, military veterans, and civilians. He is working to open a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center where people battling brain injury symptoms can receive treatment at no cost.

This episode is about survival, healing, and doing something meaningful with the pain you’ve lived through.

If you or someone you love has experienced personality changes, memory loss, rage, depression, or unexplained mental decline, this conversation may answer questions you’ve been carrying for years.

By removing the burden of cost, he hopes to give quality of life back to as many people as possible.

He’s not just a rabbi.
He’s not just a headline.
He’s a human being who broke down, stood back up, and found purpose through pain.

In Raw Minds Episode 63, Erick sits down with Rabbi Alfredo Borodowski known in the media as “The Road Rage Rabbi” to uncover the truth behind that viral moment, and what it really exposed about mental health, masculinity, and shame in high-powered men.

Rabbi Alfredo is a spiritual teacher, former attorney, and facilitator of The Purpose Program, a framework built to help people define their values, sharpen emotional intelligence, and show up with power and clarity.

He’s also the author of the upcoming book “The Human Upgrade The New Resilient Leadership for Peak Performance in the AI Revolution.”

This isn’t about religion.
This is about resilience.
About learning how to face the parts of yourself you were taught to hide and finally understanding that shame doesn’t mean you’re broken. It might be the beginning of your purpose.

Rabbi Alfredo is a bipolar rabbi, spiritual teacher, former attorney, and facilitator of The Purpose Program an emotional intelligence system that helps people uncover their core values, build resilience, and unlock high performance in every area of life.

In this episode:

• The real story behind the road rage incident that went public
• Living with bipolar disorder as a leader under pressure
• How emotional breakdowns become breakthroughs
• Tools for mental clarity, emotional control, and inner peace
• Why shame can be the doorway to your deepest calling
