On this episode of the Momentum Shift Podcast, host Antonio Vaglica sits down with Zach Cummings, host of The Journey Podcast, for a raw, honest conversation about masculinity, mental health, burnout, success, and what it really means to “stay in the game.”Zach opens up about the pressure men carry in silence, the dark side of hustle culture, emotional numbness, self-sabotage, and why vulnerability might be the most masculine trait there is. From chasing success and external validation to learning how to be present with family, relationships, and faith, this episode dives deep into the conversations most men avoid — but desperately need.INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/antoniovaglicajrhttps://www.instagram.com/momentumshiftpodhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@momentumshiftpod_CHAPTERS:00:00 – Intro & setting the tone02:15 – Seasonal depression & the New York grind05:10 – Burnout, distraction, and doing “too much”08:30 – Success isn’t as glamorous as it looks12:05 – Staying in the game vs chasing quick wins15:40 – Why most men feel emotionally numb19:10 – Shame, vulnerability, and men’s mental health23:00 – Separating identity from mistakes27:15 – External success vs inner fulfillment31:45 – Wanting more presence, not more achievements36:10 – Family, regret, and learning to slow down40:30 – Why men avoid emotional conversations44:20 – Masculinity, leadership, and vulnerability48:30 – Hustle culture and emotional suppression52:45 – Self-sabotage and fear of being hurt57:10 – What real masculinity actually looks like1:01:30 – Relationships, emotional availability & growth1:06:00 – Staying present while still chasing goals1:10:45 – Final thoughts & momentum mindset#MomentumShiftPodcast #AntonioVaglica #ZachCummings #TheJourneyPodcast #MensMentalHealth #Masculinity #MentalHealthMatters #Burnout #HustleCulture #Vulnerability #EmotionalGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #Mindset #PodcastClips
