Men Are Not OK – Leadership Lessons Bonus Episode

In this bonus episode of Leadership Lessons with Dr. Fredrick Lee II, we confront a quiet crisis: men’s mental and emotional health. From the childhood message that “boys don’t cry” to the adult struggles of burnout, loneliness, and broken connection, Dr. Lee unpacks how cultural scripts around masculinity have left too many men without the tools to regulate, connect, and lead with compassion.

Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory, emotional intelligence research, and decades of leadership insight, this episode explores:

• How emotional suppression in boyhood shapes adult relationships, leadership, and workplace culture.
• The toll of loneliness and unexpressed emotions on men’s health and well-being.
• Practical strategies for men—and those who love, lead, and work with them—to rewrite the harmful script and reclaim strength through vulnerability.

This isn’t just a men’s issue—it’s a human issue. Because when men heal, everyone heals: families thrive, workplaces grow, and communities become stronger.

Listen now to learn why men are not okay—and how together we can change that.
