Part 1 cracked the door open. Part 2 walks through it.Stan comes back and this time we go to the places most men have thought about but never said out loud. What happens when a man tries to have a real conversation, about faith, about what he's carrying, about who he actually is, and gets punished for it? And what happens when he stays silent and gets punished for that too?He talks about why men have stopped being masculine in the way they were designed to be and what that's cost the women around them. He talks about ego, and the hard way he had to learn when to put it down. He talks about respect and why a regulated man never has to demand it, because he's already earning it in every room he walks into.And then he tells the story he's never told publicly. The one that started with silence, almost ended in tragedy, and was only broken by one honest conversation with a friend. That conversation changed everything. This episode is what came after.Stan chose to give something different. Come hear how he got there.Find Stan at @outlandish_visuals on Instagram.When men break the silence, they break the cycle.Restoring Balance. Reclaiming Voice.

What does it actually look like when a man decides to stop performing and start being honest?Stan, founder of Outlandish Visuals, sat down with me for what turned into one of the most honest conversations I've had on this show. We lost power partway through. The conversation still didn't stop.In Part 1, Stan opens up about his journey through depression, the therapy that helped him find his footing, and what it really means to pursue your dreams when your mind has been working against you. He talks about the things most men don't take time to do — true accountability, the discipline of actually sitting with the Word, and what his faith has meant not just as a belief system but as a survival tool.He also unpacks something I want every man to hear. Submission isn't just a word handed to women. It's the posture a man takes before God. And when Stan finally understood that, it changed how he leads, how he shows up, and what he's building.He said something about leadership that's still with me. A great leader hears from God. He doesn't control. He doesn't command from a distance. He doesn't pile expectations on people while bringing nothing of himself to the table.And then he said this. Women multiply whatever you give them. Give them chaos, and that's what comes back to you... double portion.That one needs to sit.This is Part 1. The power cut us off mid-conversation.

Most men aren’t taught to feel, they’re taught to endure.

Kwasi spent years doing exactly that. Pushing it down. Staying strong. Performing toughness because that’s what the world — his teachers, society, even the women around him — seemed to demand. Growing up in an African household as a student athlete, emotions weren’t part of the conversation. Sports were. Strength was. Feelings weren’t.

Then October 2024 happened. And for the first time in his life, Kwasi cried.

In this episode of Disruptive Silence, we unpack what emotional suppression actually costs and how unprocessed pain quietly becomes misdirected anger, domestic violence, and a life lived disconnected from yourself.

This is the conversation nobody had with him growing up. We’re having it now.
