Mista Yu shares his journey from Brooklyn roots to becoming a podcaster, author, and ordained minister, revealing how near-death experiences and a search for purpose shaped his path.
• Born in Brooklyn to a hardworking mother from the Virgin Islands and grandmother from Panama who instilled strong work ethics
• Started podcasting during the pandemic when writing no longer provided emotional release from the constant negative news cycle
• Survived an armed robbery with a gun pointed at his face, reinforcing his belief in having a greater purpose
• Believes purpose isn't found in a single job but in what fulfills you even on difficult days
• Developed a passion for cooking after seeing how food unites people across cultural and political differences
• Currently hosts four podcast shows under the brand "They Call Me Mista Yu"
• Preparing to launch high-performance coaching services and publish more books in 2025
• Encourages men to find community and safe spaces to be vulnerable, emphasizing that everyone's struggles are significant but not unique
